A reliable workhorse during the PBA’s formative years, Jimmy Manansala made an immediate impact by winning Rookie of the Year honors in 1978—a testament to his readiness to compete with the best from day one. Though he never claimed individual season awards beyond his rookie campaign, Manansala’s value was seen in the trenches: playing tough, disciplined basketball for title contenders. His career includes 4 championships earned during his stint with powerhouse squad Great Taste. While he may not have grabbed headlines or Mythical selections, Manansala carved out a solid career through consistency, durability, and a willingness to play whatever role the team needed.
