Season highlights

• The season marked the first time without the famed Crispa Redmanizers participating in the league. New team Shell Azodrin Bugbusters takes over the franchise of the defunct winningest ballclub.
• The PBA found a new home in the University of Life Theater and Recreational Arena in Pasig after 10 years of playing at the Araneta Coliseum.
• The Great Taste Coffee Makers continued its dynasty as they won their fourth straight title during the season and almost a Grandslam of sorts.
• A blockbuster trade took place between two-time MVP Ramon Fernandez of Manila Beer switching places with one-time MVP Abet Guidaben of Tanduay. Fernandez played his first game with the Rhum Makers starting in October.
• The year saw the birth of a never-say-die squad known as Ginebra San Miguel with the 'Big J' Sonny Jaworski becoming the player-coach of the team starting the season. The Magnolia ballclub also offered the role of playing-coach to their returning import Norman Black at the start of the year.
• Guest amateur team Northern Consolidated won the PBA Third Conference crown over the Manila Beer Brewmasters and recorded the first-ever 4-0 finals sweep in league history.
