The San Juan Knights also known as Andok's San Juan-Knights or San Juan Knights-Go For Gold were a professional basketball team in the Metropolitan Basketball Association from 1999 to 2001 and Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League from 2018-present. The team enjoyed considerable success, winning the MBA National Championship in 2000 and the MBA first phase conference in 2001. They played their home games at the PhilSports Arena in 1999 to early 2000 and the San Juan Gym in 2000.

History

The San Juan team, owned by former San Juan Mayor and Philippine senator Jinggoy Estrada and businessman Sandy Javier, was accepted in the league's second season in 1999, along with two others; Surigao and Nueva Ecija. San Juan was called Knights in reference to gallantry and bravery. During the pre-season, the team was able to snare 6-9 man-mountain Bonel Balingit from the PBA, offering him a three-year, P16 million contract. They also acquired playmaker and last year's member of the MBA mythical five - Gherome Ejercito, who was released by the Pampanga Dragons since San Juan was owned by Gherome's cousin Jinggoy Estrada. The other Knights includes Christian Calaguio, 1998 NCAA Most Valuable Player, and point guard Chito Victolero.

In April 2018, San Juan Knights officially returned to action when they joined the fastest growing league in the Philippines, the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League.^[1] In Addition, the Knights was also known as San Juan Knights-Go for Gold powered by Big J Sports due to their sponsorship with Powerball Marketing & Logistics Corporation and its Go for Gold program along with Big J Sports; Big J was also sponsored another MPBL team, Navotas Clutch, with PMLC also already owns the Go for Gold Scratchers basketball team in the PBA Developmental League.

MBA national championship

In the MBA's third season in 2000, the San Juan Knights captured the national title, they swept Laguna Lakers in the best-of-three semifinals and scored a 3-1 series victory over Manila Metrostars in the Northern Conference finals. For the national championship, the Knights defeated the Negros Slashers, four games to two, in the best-of-seven series. ^[2] The fifth game had a debris-throwing incident at the University of St.La Salle Coliseum in Bacolod City. The Knights were way ahead, 87-65, with 11 minutes and 38 seconds left in the fourth quarter when play was stopped. The Negros Slashers conceded Game five, giving the San Juan Knights a 3-2 edge in the series with Game six to be held at San Juan's homecourt - San Juan Coliseum. ^[3]
