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
