2002 Red Bull Thunder season

Fil-foreigners Davonn Harp and Mick Pennissi were selected as aspirants for the National team in the coming Busan Asian Games in South Korea.

Both players were on loan to the Philippine-Hapee toothpaste training squad during the season's first offing.

Last year's Commissioner's Cup Best Import Tony Lang came back and teamed up with fellow returnee Julius Nwosu to help Batang Red Bull retain the title they won last season.

Batang Red Bull won their second PBA title in three years by defeating the Talk 'N Text Phone Pals in seven games.

The Thunder overcame a 2-3 series deficit by taking the last two games to successfully defend the Commissioner's Cup crown.
