2001 Barangay Ginebra Kings season

{{Main|2001 PBA draft}}

Barangay Ginebra Kings made a return trip to the PBA championship for the first time since 1997, marking their first appearance in the post-Sonny Jaworski era. They faced off against their sister team, the San Miguel Beermen, in the 2001 All-Filipino Cup finals. The Kings reached the finals by narrowly defeating the Purefoods Tender Juicy Hotdogs in the quarterfinal, winning both games by a one-point margin. In the semifinals, they won their best-of-five series against the Shell Turbo Chargers, three games to two. Ginebra center Jun Limpot made his first finals appearance after eight years, while Vergel Meneses returned to the PBA finals for the first time since his days with Sunkist in 1995. However, the Barangay Ginebra Kings lost to the San Miguel Beermen in six games.
