Ramón S. Fernández (born October 3, 1953) is generally regarded as the greatest player to have ever played in the
Philippine Basketball Association. Fernandez won four Most Valuable Player awards and a record 19 PBA championships (the equivalent of 6 championships in the NBA as the PBA runs three championships a year). If overall playing skills, career statistical achievements and championship wins are the benchmarks of greatness, he has no equal. Fernandez scored 18,996 points to finish as the PBA's all-time scoring leader. He is also the PBA's all-time leader in rebounds, blocked shots, and second all-time in assists and steals. He played for five teams in his entire the PBA career starting with
Toyota,
Manila Beer,
Tanduay,
Purefoods, and with
San Miguel, his last stop. Fernandez played in many overseas tournaments by being a part of the
Philippine basketball team.
