Philippines Senior National Team Thread Vol. IV

[mangangalakal]

the pba has learned from it and able to do strict requirements to be able to enter the league.. Not all are like Ben Mbalas and Akhueties some are Alinko Mba's, Ferdinands and Ikeh..

Exactly. Treat them as locals so they can join the draft like every Filipino player so teams themselves can screen out the scrubs. We can even hold a special draft for these Foreignoy players and establish limits on roster spots etc.

Second conference-third, because we can spend less on hiring big imports..or get players who really wing players not over weight football players

But I want the players play in D league during all filipino and battle all players in the provinces..
Mas okay sila sa second division imo

Pwede rin. But I'd rather we keep the current system for imports and integrate Foreignoys (not necessarily Africans ) as locals. This way we can accommodate not only the Mbalas and the Akhuetie but also the Kirk Long and the Moriah Gingerichs and Kelly Hardemans.

Since we're talking about imports , might as well give out a clue, will see a new bread of a game changing import in the local sceane soon

Every PBA team should have a d league affiliate, and better be a local government unit every all filipino the college imports
reinforced the d league teams so full time sila, and there is an option to assign pba rookies upto sophomores to d league to prevent james forrester's or avo's..

That's actually how it should be para nahahasa yung local players and at the same time foreign college players have the opportunity to become "homegrown" imports.

i hope they allow asean imports together with the non-asean imports. this way we help our neighbors for their development too.

IMHO it is their responsibility to develop their players and not ours. Blu detergent sponsoring the stint of the Malaysian NT in the dleague was actually kind of bone headed. Our local players did not learn anything from them. Tinulungan na nga silang makalaro sa pbadl lulutuin pa yung laro sa sea games. It would've been better if we saw the batang gilas youth training pool in the dleague.

I think the BLu Star-malaysia partnership was only in name. Dioceldo Sy was approached to facilitate Malaysia's D-League stint so Blu-Star was approached so it can qualify as a club team. I don't think Blustar paid the Malaysian players. Baka Blustar pa ang binayaran so the brand name can be used.

PBA or Gilas?

[MFFL]

pippo noundou is the coach of enderun. omorogbe is part of the coaching staff of perpetual. karim abdul works here and he is my neighbor. hahahaha

seriously, pba should be an eagle not a race horse in doing things.

with the influx of africans here, it is not impossible in the near future that the philippines will have afro-filipino not the fil-ams. literally afro-filipinos.

Is karim abdul still in the ph and is he still playing basketball? I remember his uaap stint, huge factor in ust making it to 3 uaap finals

[hmbopbaduwap]

I remember Karim was a two sport athlete.. while playing for the Tigers he was also the Goalie of the Dolphins United in the 2nd division of the now defunct UFL.. buti hindi niya naisipan maglaro sa PFL .. at nagplano pa pala siya maglaro ng football sa Europe

I get that point but in my opinion the "All-Filipino is sacred" argument has been rendered moot by the Fil-Am /Fil-Sham wave. If we can accommodate people who are essentially Americans with Filipino blood, we should also welcome foreigners with a Filipino heart to be considered as PBA locals. Citizenship lies not only in blood ties but also in the mind and in the heart.

I agree,can you imagine if the NBA said no foreigners can play in their league,the Americans themselves will call that league racists.I say let them play in the All-Filipino Cup if they play 4 years in the local college and university and a year in Dleague,they more than earned it.

[IshmaelM]

Its the NBA. Their locals are generally the best players in the world. Why do they have to restrict foreigners. Korea, China have their restrictions on foreigners. I think there should only be two conferences, one AFC and one with an import of unrestricted height. That should be enough.
