Season highlights

[edit]
  • The Crispa Redmanizers completed a three-conference sweep and won their second Grandslam after first doing the trick back in 1976, this time under new coach Tommy Manotoc. [1]
  • On May 15, the PBA fans witnessed the "Black Superman" Billy Ray Bates played his first game for Crispa Redmanizers. Bates won the best import award in both Reinforced and Open Conferences, leading the Redmanizers to two championships and a grandslam.
  • A rising powerhouse Great Taste Coffee with the entry of Fil-Am rookie Ricardo Brown, three-time MVP Bogs Adornado and import Norman Black in their lineup, led the Coffee Makers to their first-ever finals appearances after eight years.
  • The Toyota Super Corollas played their final season in the PBA after nine years of participation, the multi-titled ballclub announced its disbandment prior to the start of the 1984 PBA season.
