Aside he is the coach, he is also the boss gabby and boss gozon of tv5..

need to promote his channel also

yup, projecting a semblance of competitiveness to the tournament. This is gonna be well-attended. TV viewership, not so sure.

Chot says singapore will have singapore-americans in their lineup? I wonder who?
Dont tell me Howard? or Is it Kyler Jeffers the ex slinger?

And he says malaysia too will have naturalized players?
Interesting...

Nah, that's just Chot being Chot. He's hyping up other teams so TV5's ratings will skyrocket during the tournament proper.

Mitchell Folkoff? LOL

Chot could have meant him thinking about it. But that guy is as local as anyone else.
Big disappointment if its really him haha.

Serious question though, how hard/easy is it to get Singaporean citizenship if you're a potential athlete who is about to represent the country? Singapore's football team has Duric and Bennett - wondering if it took them a while to be naturalized.

I think its the level of interest on the sport. Like you said football has those guys. I know we have naturalized table tennis athletes from China.
As for basketball, Kyle Jeffers naturalization attempt was rejected a few years ago (For whatever reason).

Stopped reading after the first paragraph. The writer doesn't even know how to properly construct a sentence.

Apparently, Lamb won't be playing in the SEABA.

Retweeted Tyler Lamb (@LamboMars):

Haha unfortunately I won't be in Manila. Maybe Malaysia in August!

The SEA Games Gilas lineup better have a good perimeter defender to contain this guy. Man, SEA teams treating SEABA like a tuneup tournament...while the SEA Games seems like the real thing.

Because they knew that when it comes to seaba they have no chance of winning against the philippines because we are serious when it comes to seaba which is more important than those sea games thing.hello its like these other sea team can beat a full pba national team which is among the top 4 best team in asia.let them beat jordan, taiwan, qatar etc . first if they think they can beat a full gilas team line up.even if they have naturalized players is not even enough.

[reamily]

Its because for them sea games is the real thing (the thing that gets them money from the government)not seaba

For us, being in the world cup is some thing that makes tv 5 earn money..)

Because if we lose, were done, simple as that we can send paranaque jets in august if we want..

Seems to be a wise choice for Thailand, considering their limited ceiling. Troy, Japeth and Almazan might have difficulties guarding him. This guy can play. I think he's their version of KWill.

It would be nice to see Lamb going up against Abueva. Norwood would've neutralized him, but too bad he's already done with Gilas.
