June Mar Fajardo is on the verge of winning his ninth PBA Most Valuable Player award, a record-extending feat.
Fajardo expressed his gratitude and disbelief, reflecting on his journey from not being a big basketball fan to potentially winning another MVP.
The official announcement is expected on Sunday afternoon during the Leo Awards ceremony, which also precedes the opening of the PBA's 50th season.
Fajardo led in the statistical points category with 42.1, ahead of Robert Bolick and Arvin Tolentino.
His MVP bid is further strengthened by his two Best Player of the Conference awards from the Governors' Cup and Philippine Cup, both won by his team, San Miguel.
