The PBA EXPERT have the answer already:Originally posted by Alex07 View Post
i asked as well because even Noli's pushing for a direct-to-draft (and not to-hire) system since it's from a (full) pro league? And as JPM there is no real threat (and well no option for the players) to the PBA if they do not allow such-- simply the players will have just to play a couple of conferences in the DLeague first... i do predict that the PBA will eventually change this rule especially when more prospects play in the ABL. And ESPECIALLY when the ABL starts offering big contracts to PBA prospects/stars-- something the MBA was able to do initially. The difference between the ABL and MBA of course is that the former has big bucks for the long-term...Without any competition, I think the PBA would stand by its present rule of not allowing any player to suit up in the PBA without the minimum number of games required from the D-League. If a player is really good, then imagine the D-League salivating at the prospect of having him suit up there. It won't only be good for the team he's playing for, it would also be good for the D-League...and yes, the PBA.
They allowed pro players in the past from the MBA to go straight to the PBA without having to go through the draft simply because they were in a recruitment war with the former. Knowing fully well that the MBA players' ultimate dream is still the PBA, then Commissioner Jun Bernardino relaxed the rules on them to allow them easy passage to the league and punching the final nail on the MBA's coffin in the process. Of course, these MBA players were automatically disqualified from the ROY race but then, it wouldn't matter.If there is no basketball in heaven, i am NOT going.

In the States, your LISTED height is typically with shoes on. That means, your ACTUAL height (without shoes) is at least 1" shorter than your listed height.Originally posted by toikins View Post
I myself did this during my annual physical exams in the States. They would always measure me with my shoes on. Then I asked if I could measure myself without shoes. That's how I found out that my LISTED height was 1" more than my ACTUAL. With athletes (specially in basketball), they sometimes even go beyond the MEASURED LISTED height for marketing purposes, and add 1" more to the MEASURED LISTED height.
If he was LISTED at 6'0", then most likely his ACTUAL height can only be 5'11" at most.
Unlike in boxing, boxers heights are measured without shoes.Comment

And let's face it, a lot of the players in the MBA who crossed over to the PBA proved the decision of the PBA Board to be correct. They knew what they were doing. There are a lot of MBA stars who made an immediate impact in the PBA or turned out to be superstars, allstars and solid role players.Originally posted by Jay P. Mercado View PostComment

And if you review the history of the PBA, the ABL as it is now is very similar to how the PBA started. A lot of young players (and this is from the whole SEA region not just the Philippines), 2-imports. I think that they will eventually develop their own core of players, shedule more games, level of play and competition will improve, then reduce the non-SEA imports to only one eventually. And there is nothing wrong about this. This'll be good for BOTH leagues. Who knows, the time will come when one ABL spot will be reserved for the PBA All-Filipino champions.Comment

If i am not mistaken, NBA games are also aired on S23 on Sundays, correct?Originally posted by lovejones View Post
BTV sched says Memphis vs. Utah (Not bad considering they are in the playoff picture)
NBA Premium sched says OKC vs MIN (bad now, without Kevin Love) and MIL vs. IND (not bad, Bucks are trying to get inside the top 8)
Heaven indeed.
And they said basketball is slowing down in this country.
If there is no basketball in heaven, i am NOT going.
