Crispa–Toyota Rivalry
The Crispa-Toyota rivalry was between the now-defunct PBA teams — the Crispa Redmanizers and the Toyota Tamaraws. The two teams dominated the PBA from 1975 to 1983, winning 21 out of the possible 26 PBA titles of those seasons. Such was their popularity that whenever these two teams met on the basketball court, the streets of Metro Manila and in the provinces would be virtually deserted, as most people especially the PBA fans, would be tuned to their TV and radio sets, watching or listening to the coverage of the game. History The rivalry was preceded by that between Crispa and the Meralco Reddy Kilowatts in the Manila Industrial Commercial Athletic Association (MICAA). After the Meralco team disbanded in 1972, most of its former players went on to form the core of a new team, the Komatsu Komets (later renamed, Toyota Comets) in 1973. The first championship matchup between the two teams took place during the 1974 MICAA All-Filipino tournament. The Redmanizers scored a 2� ...
