10 years after winning his MVP award with the PBA, the man they call "The Rock", Asi Taulava once again wins another MVP award. This time Asi won it in the Asean Basketball League also known as ABL.

Taulava beat 4 other candidates for the MVP award including 3 other Filipinos. The other  nominees are Froilan Baguion of the Sports Rev Thailand Slammers, Jai Reyes of the Saigon Heat, Mario Wuysang of the Indonesia Warriors and his teammate Chris Banchero of the SanMiguel Beermen.

Taulava won the award but it was really a close fight that saw Asi beating his closest rival by only 4 points.

Asi thanks all his fans via twitter. He said "Thank u 2 all my fans here n in da Asean countrys 4 da ur support. Dis award 4 u as well! Couldnt have done it with u n 1 luv 2 all da #OWFs !" He was also greeted by a lot of  basketball players fro diffrent team in the PBA.

Could this be a sign of the return of "The Rock" to the PBA?
