Ginebra has had a number of high-scoring reinforcements — one of them was former NBA player Wiggins who went on a scoring barrage on this day 27 years ago.
Ginebra San Miguel owns the distinction of bringing in two imports, whose sons made their marks in the NBA.
In its bid to change its fortunes following disappointing finishes in 1992 and 1993, Ginebra carried the name Tondeña Rhum 65. The team owned the No. 1 pick in the draft that year and exercised its options by getting Noli Locsin, a burly 6-foot-3 forward. On this day, July 17, 1994, Wiggins dropped 78 points as Tondeña Rhum 65 defeated Sta. Lucia, 150-148, in overtime. The 78 points Wiggins produced was the fourth most by a Ginebra import.
Carlos Briggs, who averaged 60 points per game in the 1989 Third Conference, scored 89 points on November 12, 1989, while playing for Añejo Rhum 65, another brand carried by Ginebra.
