- The NCC basketball team, the national training team coached by Ron Jacobs, played in the first two conferences as guest team.
- The PBA was forced to have two All-Filipino Conferences as the nation reeled from year-round economic crisis; the import-laced tournament did return in the Third Conference.

- The Great Taste Coffee Makers won its first two titles during this season, becoming the newest dynasty in the pro league. [1]
