In that line-up, it included Arwind Santos, Alex Cabagnot, Encho Serrano, Marc Pingris and Justine Baltazar. A lot of people were shocked about it because three current PBA players were there.
It was clarified a day later that those PBA players are not really assured to play for Pampanga in the upcoming season of MPBL.
It is due to the rule of MPBL that only those who are in the roster at the start of the season will be allowed to play in the entire duration of the competition
Nevertheless, it is still a question to some fans if we saw a glimpse of the future. Is there a chance that MPBL will soon fight for PBA caliber players?
Just take note that in terms of social media reach, it seems like the MPBL is not really that far from the PBA. If you look at the number of reactions, MPBL posts are also getting four digits reactions. Just like the PBA.
In short, MPBL is actually sustaining and improving their fan base. And with how long they are operating, they are also an excellent evidence that a regional home-and-away format of a basketball league is possible!
