PBA Mythical Team
Sports award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Mythical Team is an honor given annually to the best players in each of the five basketball positions: point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward and center. A Second Mythical Team was institutionalized in 1984. This honor is given during the PBA's Leo Awards.[1]
Starting from the 2020 PBA season, each Mythical Team consists of two backcourt (guards) and three frontcourt (forwards or centers or both) players.[2] Previously, each Mythical Team would have two guards, two forwards, and a center.
