The PBA Commissioner’s Cup Best Player of the Conference award is a toss-up between Ginebra ace playmaker LA Tenorio and Alaska super rookie Calvin Abueva.
Who outperforms who in the first two games of the Ginebra-Alaska finale could be it with Tenorio and Abueva finishing in a dead heat in the stats race through the semifinals.
They break the virtual tie through the balloting among fellow players, the media and top PBA officials. The verdict will be known before Game Three of the Alaska-Ginebra Finals Sunday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
The Ginebra sentinel finished with the highest SP total of 480 points but the Alaska top freshman got the highest SP average of 28.5 points on the strength of a high 150 won-game bonus points.
With averages of 11.7 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks, Abueva accumulated a total of 401 statistical points or an average of 28.5 a game.
Tenorio, meanwhile, submitted 28.3 SPs a game with his norms of 13.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.1 block.
GlobalPort’s Gary David came in third with 26.0 an outing, followed by another Alaska player Jayvee Casio (25.4) and Talk n Text stalwart and Philippine Cup BPC winner Jayson Castro (25.2).
The five stats leaders made it as the official candidates for the BPC award.
The Best Import, who’s to win the Bobby Parks Trophy, could only be either Alaska’s Rob Dozier or Ginebra’s Vernon Macklin although Meralco’s Eric Dawson topped the stats race with 53.9 SPs a game.
The Tenorio-Abueva duel and the Dozier-Macklin showdown are among the rich subplots of the Alaska-Ginebra finale.
If ever, Tenorio will add the BPC plum to his 2010 Most Improved Player award, 2010 Mythical First Team citation, 2010 Fiesta Conference Finals co-MVP honors and the 2010 Williams Jones Cup MVP trophy.
Or Abueva will become the first rookie to win a BPC award after Eric Menk and Danny Seigle in 1999.
Menk was the best of the best in the 1999 Philippine Cup while Seigle was the top player in the 1999 Governors’ Cup. Seigle subsequently bagged the Rookie of the Year award.
Abueva looks a cinch to win the top rookie honors this season after contending for the BPC awards in the Philippine Cup and in the Commissioner’s Cup.
Through the elims, Tenorio was the stats leader (28.6) with Abueva right behind with 28.2.
David was at third, followed by Air21’s KG Canaleta and Rain or Shine’s Paul Lee.
Tenorio and Abueva kept their positions in the Top Two going into the Finals since both sustained a searing pace, playing key roles for their teams in the quarters and in the semis. (SB)
