As you can see when it comes to the overall championships and finals appearances and most of all the other stats, SMB leads Alaska. But take a look at the stat for the Finals Matches Against Each Other. As you can see these two legendary teams faced each other before in the Finals 5 times already and tonight will be their 6th, but Alaska Aces won 4 out of 5 of those championship matches. The question is: Will this winning continues?

Another important stat is the Finals MVP awards. As you can see it is only 9 for San Miguel and 12 for Alaska. Can this stat implies that there are more heroes that came to life in the Alaska roster when it is Finals?

Let us set aside those past stats for now and take a look at the present time. SMB now have "The Kraken" June Mar Fajardo and "The Spider Man" Arwind Santos, they are both the last MVP's of the last 2 seasons. For Alaska they have "The Beast" Calvin Abueva together with "The Boss"Sonny Thoss and both are also hard workers.

It is very hard to predict whether the firepower of SMB or the intense defense of Alaska will win. We knew that SMB is also a good defensive team right now and they do not just rely on their powerhouse team. On the other hand, Alaska is not just a defensive team for a moment but their defense starts from the beginning up to the end of the game. Alaska also have more veterans on their roster.

Like you, I am also very very excited to watch the 1st game tonight and I hope we all enjoy watching another history in the making between your San Miguel Beermen and the Alaska Aces. San ka? Kampihan na!
