Who else but the Flying A? Abarrientos was the quintessential Alaska player as the unassuming point guard led from the front for the Milkmen during their glory days. Winning eight crowns with the team including a rare grand slam in 1996, Johnny A's star rose to great heights. He took home the 1996 Season MVP honors while ha and the Alaska brand tur...
Jolas came to Alaska with great hope and he certainly lived up to the hype. Traded from Purefoods in exchange for Elmer Cabahug in 1991, Mr. Clutch lived up to his superstar billing and provided instant impact, helping the Milkmen claim the 1991 Third Conference title. Lastimosa's exceptional play only sustained Alaska's prolonged stay at the top a...
Hawkins reached his potential upon his arrival in Alaska, leading the team in scoring and rebounding in the 1994 season. Unsurprisingly, that performance delivered him the Most Improved Player award in that same year. Hawkins' savvy and physicality in the low blocks and an ever- realible mid-range jumper made him a perfect compliment to Abarrientos...
Picked fifth in the 1994 PBA Draft, his arrival gave Alaska a much needed size and power down low with his stable play in the paint. He wasn't as celebrated as Johnny A, Hawkins , and JOlas, but Juinio was one who did the dirty work inside for the Milkmen and proved an integral part of the team's success as they went on to win nine crowns in the ne...
Immediately showing that he belongs with the big boys, Cariaso announced his arrival in 1995 and was just the jolt of youth Alaska needed as he took home the Rookie of the Year honors. It wasn't long before The Jet soared to great heights and even canned two pressure-packed free throws to help the Milkmen capture the 1996 All-Filipino Cup, setting ...
History books will always look at Alvarez as one of the first Alaska superstars as Mr. Excitement was a staple in highlight reels with his electric high-flying ways. Old hands still fondly remember his blazing 71-point performance for Alaska in a win over Shell back in 1990, which still stands as the second-highest single game scoring record in lea...
Villamin was already considered as one of the best centers of his time and, following the disbandment of Manila Beer, found his way to Hills Bros in 1987. Bicolano Superman did what he does best and carried the Coffee Kings to a surprise Finals appearance in the 1987 All-Filipino Conference. That run also saw him finish second in the MVP race, just...
You can't have the Bruise Brothers without the other half, right? Relosa was a perfect tag team partner for Villamin, with the former being a menace in the paint and commandeered the defense for the Milkmen as the latter did the heavy lifting on the offensive end. Selected from the expansion pool from Ginebra, Relosa was quick to show his worth as ...
All Duremdes needed was a break to finally see his star shine. And he got it once he arrived in Alaska. Moving from Pop Cola to Alaska in 1997 and stepping out of Vergel Meneses' shadow, Captain Marbel looked prime to steer the Milkmen to greater heights on the heels of the franchise's Grand Slam run as he was one of the team's leaders in their nex...
Electric on the court, Miller was the go-to guy that Alaska needed in the mid-2000s in the transition from the grand slam years. Showing no signs of slowing down from his time with Red Bull and Talk 'N Text, The Thriller carried the Aces on his back and even won his second MVP award in 2007 as the acknowledged heart and soul of the Alaska franchise...
