Season in Review: 1994
The 1994 season saw the PBA giving the incentive to the year's All-Filipino Champions the right to represent the country in the quadrennial Asian Games in Hiroshima. San Miguel Beer beat Coney Island for the coveted title. Kenny Redfield, the triple-double machine out of Michigan State, led Purefoods to the 1994 Commissioner's Cup Championship and won the Best Import honor. Chot Reyes' team defeated the team of his former mentor, Tim Cone. Because of injuries, San Miguel Beer reinforced itself for the Asian Games. Alvin Patrimonio, Jerry Cordinera, and Johhny Abarrientos joined the San Miguel Beer Team to the Philippine National Team. Along with amateur standouts, 6-9 centre Marlou Aquino and 6-3 swingman, Kenneth Duremdes, the PBA-sponsored National Team failed to even win the Bronze against Japan. It finished fourth in Hiroshima. Alvin Patrimonio won back-to-back MVP. Jerry Codinera went on to win the first ever Best Player of the Conference award during the All Filipino Conference. Alvin Patrimonio later on won the Commissioner's Cup BPC award.
