Arnie Tuadles is the only player in the PBA to win two championships with two different teams in the same season. He was part of the Shell Rimula-X team that won the Open Conference championship. After a contract dispute, he left Shell and was quickly signed up by Presto Tivoli during the All-Filipino Conference and was instrumental in helping them get to the finals and win the championship.
