PH Sports Bureau Classic PBA: Sunkist vs SMB, 2000 PBA Commissioner's Cup

In the year 2000, under coach Chot Reyes, Jojo Lastimoa, Noli Locsin, and Nelson Asaytono all played for the Sunkist Orange Juicers. This year also marked the debut rookies Wynne Arboleda and Estong Ballesteros.

During the Commissioner's Cup, a significant incident unfolded as some Filipino-American or Fil-Foreign players, including Jon Ordonio, Danny Seigle and others, were prohibited from participating until their documentation had been thoroughly reviewed. This occurrence shed light on the pressing Fil-Sham issue prevalent within the PBA at that time.

Notably, this season witnessed a remarkable milestone in the history of the league, as three siblings shared the same team. Chot Reyes held the position of head coach, while his brothers, Mike Reyes and Billy Reyes, served as assistant coach and player, respectively.
