PBA Mythical Team explained

The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Mythical Team is an honor given annually to the best players in each of the five basketball positions: point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward and center. A Second Mythical Team was institutionalized in 1984.

Starting from the 2019 PBA season, each Mythical Team consists of two backcourt (guards) and three frontcourt (forwards or centers or both) players. Previously, each Mythical Team would have two guards, two forwards, and a center.
