The best players in the Masters Basketball League were given due recognition during a special awarding ceremony held at the Kilili Beach over the weekend.
Richard “Doc” Brostrom was awarded the most valuable player award for the play-offs. Brostrom was leading in the scoring, block shots, & rebounds category.
Brostrom who played his 5th season with coach Tony Sablan was one of the main players for GTE Pacifica. Brostrom was not only playing center, he sometimes plays the shooting forward position.
According to coach Sablan, Doc is not only known for his aggressive play but also for his famous turn around jump shots. Despite being over 35 years old, Doc continues to play basketball at par with his younger counterparts.

After the awarding ceremony, the table was opened for the players, coaches, & team followers to culminate the much awaited Bar-B-Q Party.
The next MBL season will start on February 2001 in order to give the teams enough time to prepare and look for sponsors, said MBL President Joe Pangelinan .
