First of all, Yuta Tabuse was shit who just happened to accept the grind of trying to make the NBA. I'll go back as far as Minamiyama who was shit. Their best player for ages was Michael Dorsey (Mikaeru Takahashi) and he looked like a shit version of what our 2000's Fil-Shams were, except he was legitimately Japanese-American.

Orimo? Pwede na. Ditto with one of the Takeuchi brothers (lampa yung isa), Iragashi, and Heijima who's still playing. It's crazy that even Taipei had a stronger squad than Japan in the late 2000's.
We haven't even seen much of Yudai Baba even though he had moments in the G-League. Baba and Kawamura are 100% B.League homegrown. No half-American blood, no AAU experience, no US NCAA D1 time, they just did what Euro NBA players do in the B.League starting their pro careers early.

Unless people make the argument that Ramos having the PBA career of Joshua Munzon and Sotto playing for TNT ​will make Gilas better, I don't blame some people for sucking Japanese dick lately.

this is pixelized right? sorry just can't resist hahaha

God this thread is turning to 2018-2020 Kai Sotto threads
 
So much hate towards Japan and France here lately. I guess thats the appeasement when your country doesnt play in the Olympics

That's the appeasement for people who have to endure 15 years of Chot Reyes basketball

Well, Gilas could have been that team had they completed their assignment. We could have gotten Dom Rep and Angola along with China had Chot and his staff did their homework. This is the reason why people really hated Chot - we already had the chance to do it at home but we did not. And the first mortal sin that SBP did was to place Chot back in the head coaching job.

But were going on a right direction(hopefully) lately. Hating or being hypocritical towards other countries wont improve our status internationally. We must/should even be proud of what our neighbor country has been doing, atleast we know that asian countries can compete against the best of the best when it comes to basketball, and hopefully we can also continue our progress

Pinoys often have trouble being objective about anything, Japan did a lot of things right and they're sowing the results and France is fr very overrated. It becomes a thug of war between cucks and haters

Don't really know where you think you're going with all the fence sitting. Yes it's weirdo activities to pointlessly pull Japan's leg like what robert is doing but it's also true that Wembanyama has to rely on the whistles to beat an asian team with no real centers in ot, remember the guy was being compared to Lebron and KD, neither would go to ot with Japan in a million years.

Well, tbf, France has been medalling since 2010's.

4 of the last 5 editions of EuroBasket.
2 of the last 4 editions of the World Cup.
A silver medal finish in the 2022 Olympics.

I cannot say that they are overrated with those accolades. There is something wrong inside their federation I guess.

Yeah we could have been that team, but incompetent people running the show for SBP ruined it. But lets not take away anything from Japan, they deserved the recognition theyre getting as of this moment. At the end of the day, they took advantage of there olympic qualifier and we did not

Im sorry I had to quote you but im pertaining to the people here giving too much hate towards Japan and then next thing they do is compare Japan situation with ours. Re: Wemby, he is still young(20 years old) lets not give too much pressure on the kid the way people here do to Kai, at the end of day, their representing there country(at a young age) and we should atleast admire them for doing so

This isn't really about France tbf, it's the toxicity of hype culture around a single player. The NBA streams even titled France's game "Wemby and friends" lol. It's perfectly logical to say that Wemby is still leagues behind Lebron and KD after this game and he's stupidly overrated by casuals.
 
Re: Wemby, he is still young(20 years old) lets not give too much pressure on the kid the way people here do to Kai

Tell that to his fanboys my dude, they literally think Wemby is already equal or better than Lebron and KD, it's insane

I am not taking away anything from Japan. I am just irked about people being overly ecstatic about Japan. I am now feeling what a foreigner feels whenever there are Filipinos bragging things about Gilas.

Japan is good and improving and they won 3 of their 5 games last year. I'll give them that. But they lost their two games right now and I don't see what's to brag about? Not being a hater but these things also happened to Gilas and we had a different reaction.

Reminiscent of the Kai hype train.
 
There's nothing but props to give for Japan, I'm glad they even have full blooded players in the nba, being jealous about another succeeding in a sport you don't personally play is very pathetic. What pinoy fans should be giving attention to is how different the barometer is for judging Filipino and non-Filipino players. If Kai Sotto only won by 4 against Indonesia, his draft stock will tank to the 1st circle of hell but games like this does not matter for Wemby, it hasn't mattered since he got whipped by Lofton Jr because his trajectory is already supercharged by media hype. You have to acknowledge how unfair that is otherwise you're really just being a cuck
 
They're not comparable at all, Victor is a first round pick and Kai is selling vegetables in the B League

Haha. What vegetable? Let me guess - the leafy green one?

Seriously, I just hope that Kai will not end up in the PBA until he is in his 30's but the decision lies to him.

But some people prefer to call this 'dickriding'.

He 'appreciates' Guam but others 'dickride' Japan. He is the way, the truth and the life. LOL.

They are like Gilas under Chot.. we have also achievements in the past under Chot but that's it.. he didn't improve his coaching, resulting to disappointment past couple of years.. Collet didn't also improved his coaching since Parker retirement, or atleast we say the golden generation roster of prime Batum, Fournier, De Colo and Gobert.. he relied on player's talent, resulting to multiple achievements.. but he is also the coach who can't win even a single match against Sergio Scarliolo of Spain.. the two wins France got vs Spain, when Scarliolo was not the coach... Kindly overrated, maybe yes.. Obviously Parker bailed Collet's ass on those runs...it is only not a good sign when guys like Batum, de Colo, Gobert and Fournier nearing the end of their prime years... If france will not win a medal here, 100% sure Collet will be replaced...
