PBA players that become a Comedian

Venancio "Benjie" Paras

Before starring in many classic '90s comedy movies alongside other comedy legends like Babalu and Roderick Paulate, Benjie Paras was already a superstar on the basketball court. His first big accomplishment was to give the UP Fighting Maroons a championship, something that succeeding UP teams have never repeated since. Soon after, Paras became the first and only PBA player to simultaneously win the Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player awards in the PBA. Paras's collection of individual accolades and championships make him arguably the best power forward in Philippine basketball history.
