The 2000 PBA season was the 26th season of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). ==Notable occurrences== *PBA's TV partner, Vintage Television was absorbed by Viva Entertainment. *Batang Red Bull Energizers entered the league as an expansion team. *The league celebrated their silver anniversary on April 9, 2000 with the awarding of the PBA's 25 greatest players. 〔 (PBA Celebrates 25th year ), Philippine Daily Inquirer〕 *The league forfeited Batang Red Bull's wins when 18-year-old Kerby Raymundo was found to have deficient academic credentials. He would later return to the team in 2001. *It was the year when a crackdown of alleged fake Fil-foreign cagers led to deportations of Asi Taulava and Sonny Alvarado. Eric Menk, Danny Seigle and Chris Jackson were among those suspended by the PBA. *The Bureau of Immigration and Deportation (BID) revoked the Filipino citizenship of Tanduay's Sonny Alvarado as it uncovered that the player used fraudulent papers; consequently, the BID ordered Alvarado's deportation. *Alvarado's deportation affected the season's All-Filipino Cup semifinal round after PBA commissioner Jun Bernardino forfeited two of Tanduay's semifinal wins (Games 2 and 3) against Purefoods, since Alvarado played on those games (he didn't play on the first game). With the forfeitures, the series would have resumed on Game 4 with Purefoods leading the series 2–1; however, Tanduay secured a temporary restraining order (TRO) that prevented the league from staging Game 4 of their series. This has been the first time a PBA game has been suspended via a court order. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2000 PBA season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
