There’s a likely scenario that at least one worthy candidate could miss out on a spot in the Mythical Five selection of the PBA Philippine Cup bubble.
That’s because eligible voters are expected to have a difficult time choosing two backcourt players in the Mythical Five which will be given during the virtual PBA Awards Night on Jan. 17.
Two guards and three frontcourt players will compose the Mythical Five under PBA rules.
TNT’s Ray Parks Jr., who topped the Statistical Points race, and teammate RR Pogoy, Barangay Ginebra San Miguel’s Stanley Pringle and Phoenix Super LPG’s Matthew Wright are among the favorites to make Mythical Five.
