It would be fitting to close this thread... some people are just too lazy to post on the older threads... I'm sick talking about the same thing on two different threads all the time...

Or maybe close the old one and use this one as the new thread for the Philippine National Team instead!

there are still so many things to be discussed here. i believe posters can still see the new link provided for. The issue of having a new election for BAP-SBP is somewhat a good issue to take in here.

Correct, but they would compete in the Jones Cup with at least 2 imports, I think and some local reinforcements coming from a PBA ballclub.

^IMO, a Sam Ekwe and an Emeka Udo are enough as imports (the paint is already secured with them in there) ... well, you could add a couple of PBA mainstays in there for reinforcements (probably a good PF - someone like JR Reyes or Ranidel de Ocampo and a stable experienced PG) :)

Harbour Centre's owner, Mikee Romero won't like to have the same problem, it's to their best interest to acquire two tall foreigners, preferably Parada and this new guy Alexander of Brgy. Ginebra if he's that good. Some local players from PBA ballclubs who got eliminated from the Fiesta conference would likely beefup the team, as previously offered to them. Actually, there is no such thing as imports in the Jones Cup only participating teams.

No offense meant, but Sam Ekwe and Emeka Udo, won't just do, the level of competion at the Jones Cup is much more higher than the SEABA Club Championship. If Mikee Romero really wants to win such a prestigious title, he needs to go for it, strenghten his team. A distinct honor for Harbour Centre to belong to such great teams as NCC, San Miguel and previous Philippine national teams who won the Jones Cup title..

FIBA re-affirms SBP backing

MANILA, Philippines—The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) reiterated Wednesday its support to the BAP-Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas following complaints on the current leadership headed by president and telecommunications tycoon Manny V. Pangilinan.

In a statement by FIBA after its executive meeting from April 25 to 26 in Beijing, it stated: “The FIBA Central Board received reports on the ongoing conflicts in the Philippines. The FIBA Central Board has re-affirmed its support to the BAP-Samahang Basketball ng Pilipinas Inc and its leadership.”

BAP chair and Camarines Sur Rep. Luis Villafuerte had reportedly sent letters to FIBA alleging questionable disbursement of funds by BAP-SBP.

Meanwhile, the Central Board approved the creation of the FIBA World Club Championship that will feature the world’s top eight club teams starting in October 2009.

The participating clubs will include the organizer, one representative each from Asia, Africa and Oceania, and two teams each from America and Europe.

So, I hope those libelous and slanderous accusations by the defunct BAP are finally put to the garbage.

What's interesting is the creation of the FIBA World Club Championships starting October 2009. Gee, we should take this opportunity to play with the world's best. The PBA should commit its best team (All Filipino champs beefed up with 2 excellent imports) to participating in the regional qualifiers. We have a shot at qualifying for this.

I say we go for it!:cool:
 
That would be exciting... PBA clubs should make their marks in the Champions Cup to be able to represent the Asian region in the World Club Champs..

By the way, so far as I know, the Northern Consolidated team of 1985 (Caidic, Lim, Calma, Engelland, etc...) was the only Filipino team in RP history that able to play in the competition before FIBA scrap the contest...

Yup, in 1985 San Miguel-Philippines finished 3rd out of 4 nations ballclubs and captured the bronze medal in the FIBA World Club Championship held at Girona, Spain where Samboy Lim scored 37 points against the mighty Banco De Roma of Italy.

The Philippines lost to the US by a rout in the first game, failing to cope with the solid zone defense employed by the Americans. In the second game, they lost by a solitary point against the Brazilians, 78-77, before defeating Italy to achieve third place in the tournament.
