In the NBA most of the championship teams are anchored by a great big man like the Russell's Celtics, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's Lakers, Shaq's Lakers, Duncan's Spurs and Mikan's Lakers. In Philippine context which is more valuable for a team's championship aspiration? Why? I am just wondering. Please post your ideas. Thanks.

during the early days of Marlou Aquino, he was really a factor for the Ginebra San Miguel and Gordon's Gin. and also when Asi came into the PBA, just went short in the playoffs round, losing to a Bal David perimeter bomba shot and the bottom dweller Ginebra spoiled Asi's AFC debut.It's ironic to see limited efforts from players with maximum salary.
I wish they would apply "sabermetrics" in those financially challenged PBA teams to acquire players who are value for their money.

Superior big men are always more valuable than superior guards, no matter the setting, NBA, FIBA, PBA, CBA etc. Iran has Ehadadi, Spurs has Duncan, Lakers and Heat has Shaq. Look at the teams with superior guards only, how far can they go? Sun, GW, RP team, Syria with Madanly, no where near the championship. Superior big men is and will always be more valuable than guards, unless you are not talking about basketball.
You can't teach height, but you can teach skills. Once a tall big man learned the skills, he will always be better than other player who has the same skills but short in stature.Crouchy 1 : Durden 0, IUHL 0, roadtolondon 0, batman, 0, azrael 0, beastly 0

back in 1993, he was big man with a big deal til the late 90's, but what did he got, 0 championships. he only got his championship in Purefoods, wherein Kerby Raymundo, James Yap, Roger Yap and Marc Pingris did all the job.It's ironic to see limited efforts from players with maximum salary.

a big man will never win a Championship if he's not complimented with good teammates. there should be a tag-team, look at Benjie Paras and Gery Esplana, during their last strong stints in the PBA, their overpowered the towering Tanduay squad composed of Alvarado, Menk, Cantonjos and Telan.It's ironic to see limited efforts from players with maximum salary.
