Seasons

The 1984 PBA season was the 10th season of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).

Season highlights

  • The season marked the first without the multi-titled Toyota as the ballclub disbanded at the start of the year and sold its franchise to Asia Brewery, which played their first season under the name of Beer Hausen.
  • The NCC basketball team, the national training team coached by Ron Jacobs, played in the first two conferences as guest team.
  • The PBA was forced to have two All-Filipino Conferences as the nation reeled from year-round economic crisis; the import-laced tournament did return in the Third Conference.
  • The Crispa Redmanizers played their final season in the PBA, winning their 13th and final championship during the first All-Filipino Conference.
  • The Great Taste Coffee Makers won its first two titles during this season, becoming the newest dynasty in the pro league. [1]
  • Ramon Fernandez received his second Most Valuable Player Award, highlighted by a year of more than 20 triple-double performances and a near triple-double average for the whole season.
