In a scene reminiscent of a slapstick comedy, former PBA commissioner Noli Eala couldn’t help but chuckle at the peculiar money ball featured in the 2024 PBA three-point competition. The internet buzzed with amusement as eagle-eyed netizens pointed out that this money ball was no different from the standard basketballs used in the contest. The sole distinction? A coat of blue paint, signifying its status as a coveted money ball.
For those uninitiated in the intricacies of the three-point shootout, let me break it down: this special ball, when successfully launched through the hoop, adds two points to a player’s score. It’s like finding a hidden treasure chest amidst the regular loot.
But wait, there’s more! A vigilant netizen took to the virtual streets of X (formerly Twitter) to confront Eala, questioning the thriftiness of the PBA. “Kume @NoliEala,” they quipped, “ganito ka-kuripot ang @pbaconnect? Kinulayan ang bola imbis bumili ng bago?” Translation: “Hey, Noli Eala, is the PBA really this stingy? Opting to paint the ball instead of buying a new one?”
In response, Eala, ever the good sport, countered with three laughing emojis on his X account. After all, he’s no stranger to the league, having served as PBA commissioner from 2003 to 2007 and also moonlighting as a play-by-play commentator.
As the dust settles, we’re left pondering whether the PBA’s frugality with paintbrushes is a stroke of genius or a comedic misstep. Either way, it’s clear that the money ball—whether in its original or azure-tinted form—continues to be a topic of hoopla in the basketball world.
