THE tournament âbubbleâ that the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) staged last year proved to be a successful and memorable one. And for some players, it was a great opportunity to raise their stock in the league.
Justin Chua of the Phoenix Super LPG Fuel Masters, Prince Caperal of the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel Kings, and Reynel Hugnatan of the Meralco Bolts were just some of the players who had a great run in the PBA bubble at Clark City in Angeles, Pampanga from October till December, contributing their fair share in the impressive run of their teams.
For their efforts, they are being considered for the leagueâs most improved player award in awarding ceremonies to be done virtually on Jan. 17.
