What we need from Greg this time is power and a bit of speed.. we know the current game is all about speed.. but with Kai and AJ, both aren't really power players or physical players (more of finesse bigs - which translates to today's game).. Junemar can be that man as well.. but with the...
nice score from bobby parks.. at least he already has a taste of how to do it in the NBA, at least in the summer league..
but points to ponder, offensively it is hard to really get numbers in the summer league because essentially it is a try-out to get a spot in the preseason line-up.. so...
wow! again wow! another one of those "OMG he is an inch shorter and the world will crumble".. really?
seriously, i think all of us here in this forum play basketball right? if you are 5'10" and go up against a fellow 5'10" player compared to going up against a 5'11" player, do you really feel...
junemar playing inspired basketball.. what love can do..
this is good for us come FIBA Asia.. if he continues to play inspired basketball.. we will not have any problem frontcourt.. our backcourt can do their thing, and we all know that is our kreme de la kreme..
Asian Games and SEA Games are not definitely..
but FIBA Asia age group competitions (FIBA U16, U17, U18, U19) should, because if not, it is illogically stupid..
Now that technically the coaching position of Gilas Pilipinas is vacant, I think it is right to discuss who the potential successor would be.
Here is what we know:
A Selection Committee has been formed to recommend names for the national team coach
The Selection Committee consists of:
Chito...
exactly..
a lot of NBA players started as athletic freaks, well to qualify they are talented as well (Kobe, Garnett, Lebron, Carter, Jordan).. but they did more than that to achieve greatness, and even championships or better yet HOF..
at the end of the day, Japeth is just a normal player overall.. has some highs and lows..
but he has a special skillset most attributed to his athleticism..
i am in agreement.. he can't bring any team to the promised land.. but if you watch him really, he ball hogs and doesn't do defense.. he is quite similar to james harden in terms of defense (or NO defense at all)..
carmelo is an all-star and team USA player.. and a national team performer...
first thing's first...
applaud japeth for putting on the numbers.. so applause to him..
but for old school players like charles barkley, reggie miller and the whole crew of NBA TVs OPEN COURT, it is full of BS.. you can't scout base on numbers.. you can't draw up the last shot with just...
minus the greatness factor, yes it seems a good comparison.. robinson could come up with great numbers, in fact i remember him having a quadruple double.. but mentally tough players are the ones who can bring team to the next level.. and robinson needed a duncan to do that..
this is being SO off topic but while we're at it..
but Rommel Adducul was the face of Pilipinas in international basketball during the BAP days (well except for the Asian Games where the PBA was active).. he was in every single international tournament in FIBA Asia.. though he doesn't have the...
some people here are just plain BS... the accusations on chot are off the charts!
he brought us here.. he managed to come close to elite level teams and steal a win which we all didn't expect.. and because of some decisions he is lambasted? ang lakas ng loob nyo?
tell me all of you here who...
this is really all of our hopes, that he is THE BIGMAN for team Pilipinas.. good start, good showing by June Mar.. at least we know he is improving and has the learning curve.. by next year who knows what he would be like thinking about last year and this year..
i saw that to and that was the first thing I thought.. but thinking about it, the line of sight for our small point guards are really compromised by the length and size of Senegalese..
