When you’re the MVP of a team stacked with legends, you’re clearly doing something right. Drafted in the second round, Ato Agustin quickly exploded onto the scene with his explosive drives and fearless scoring—earning him the nickname "The Atom Bomb." In just his fourth season, he bagged the 1992 MVP award, capping a stretch where he made the Mythical Five three years in a row. He was also part of the famed 1989 San Miguel Grand Slam squad, showing he could both shine individually and blend with powerhouse lineups. Not the flashiest name in PBA history, but one of the most efficient and underrated scorers of the 1990s.
