this discussion passed already but ill answer as you did reply in good faith, so will i. i said that because the discussion at that time is IF the requirement to be eligible would be passport and residency (3-5yrs) ONLY.
because JC lives in the US, he will be eligible to play there. but as someone pointed out (i tihnk greenarcher) he would probably not be used by USAB. ergo, will not be able to play any international ball. and I replied, he doesnt really want to play for RP. why? because if he did, he would move to the Philippines just to satisfy the residency requirement. which again someone (pretty sure its greenarcher) who said that JC will not do that as it will affect his NBA status.
so pasok sinabi ko, but maybe i should have used a period rather than a comma. "ah, so he doesn't really want to play for RP(because that means he needs to move and live in the Philippes). he is just not good enough (for USAB)".
