In his sophomore year , Alvarez shattered the record for most points by an individual in a single-game held by Allan Caidic . He poured in 71 points in Alaska 's 169-138 victory over Formula Shell on April 26 , 1990 . That same year , he made it to the Mythical five selection for the first time but injured his Achilles heel in Game 3 of the 1990 PBA Third Conference Finals against Purefoods . He was out of commission for two full conferences to recuperate from the Achilles heel injury but made a successful comeback in the third conference . Helping to limit the point production of Best Import Awardee Wes Matthews in the finals against Ginebra San Miguel , Alvarez and the Milkmen won their first-ever PBA championship . A contract dispute with Alaska at the start of the 1993 PBA season led to Alvarez boarding a plane to the United States . When he returned to the country , Alaska traded him to Sta.Lucia for Bong Hawkins . He was back in harness quickly becoming one of the main men of the Realtors and was named comeback player of the year by the PBA Press Corps
