Looking back at the 1998 Centennial Team - ESPN
The 1998 Centennial Team was the last national squad to bag a medal in the Asian Games basketball competition.
www.espn.inHere’s the latest I can confirm about the 1998 PBA Centennial Cup.
-
The 1998 PBA Centennial Cup was a special tournament held during the PBA season to celebrate the centennial of Philippine independence. Mobiline Phone Pals won the cup, defeating Formula Shell Zoom Masters in the one-game championship. This outcome is documented in the tournament pages and season summaries from 1998 PBA coverage.[3][4]
-
The Centennial Cup used a two-import format for the participating teams, aligning with the era’s format for this conference, and featured guest participation by the Philippine Centennial Team in some contexts as part of the broader 1998 season coverage.[4][3]
If you’d like, I can pull the exact semifinals, finals scores, and top statistical leaders from those sources and present them in a compact table. I can also pull contemporary media or retrospective analyses for added context.
