i respect that spanish's opinion and fearless forecast. anyways guys, i like us considered as an underdog. dont u? i mean if we lost, i wudnt be a big deal. but if we won..hahha ... big laughs of me. also being considered as weakest contender lessens the pressure of our team.

Do you have guys any idea how much is Philippines National team budget for this dream to the Olympics???

I was impressed to know that Coach Chot got a total budget for his NT the sum of


PHP70,000,000.00 that is roughly equivalent to ..........US$1.5 MILLION

Anybody please correct me... are my figures correct???

Yup. That's the budget for the RP Team for the Olympic qualifier in Japan this coming July.

Naturalized players?

Naturalized players?

I would like to ask fellow forumers, why is it FIBA allowed more than 2 naturalized players per team? My understanding is that only 1 naturalized player per team and why is it Qatar has more than 2 naturalized players? Is this fair?

Dark horse in the Asian Championships

Dark horse in the Asian Championships

3 teams that gets my attention in this edition of the Asian Championships

1. Iran is improving a lot and they have a tall players which i think will give headache to the RPteam. They beat and eliminated S. Korea in the 2005 Asian Championship.
2. S. Korea - after a dismal performance in the 2005 Asian Championships, i think this team i back with a vengeance. The basketball leaders resigned from their position which i think is a good manner. My only doubt in this team is that most of their players are already old.
3. Japan - being the host country is a big factor. Remember the 1994 Hiroshima Asiad when Alvin Patrimonio failed to shoot the important free throws that gave the bronze medal to japan. And also in the 2002 Busan Asiad Korea, in the last 2 minutes of the game where the officiating is on the side of the host team plus in the 1986 Seoul Asiad when Allan Caidic's running jumper in the dying seconds of the game was called an offensive foul that geve the victory to S. Korea. Being the host country really matters.

The 5'11" tournament for players below 6 foot was held once internationally in Spain:

In 1967 , the Philippines finished 3rd and captured the bronze medal in the first ever Intercontinental Basketball Tournament for players under 5'11" in Barcelona, Spain. The Philippines finished behind the United States and host Spain but beat South American giant, Brazil and European representative, France.

if the Unano dinamita was in that tournament he would have done a reverse 360 slam

El baloncesto es nuestro salvacion ! Gloria a Filipinas ! Arriba Filipinas !
basketball is our salvation ! Hail and glory to the Philippines !

just to present an alternate view, china might mount an ambush , and change their mind and send the 'A' team instead of the 'B' team. Yao ming was supposed to have an operation and now he changed his mind. i wonder why? its better for other asian countries to expect the worst and for china to actually send their 'A' team:

Yao to Skip Operation, Return to National Team

by Arthur Volbert - May 17, 2007
According to the China Daily, Ming Yao (226-C-80) will return to the Chinese national team in the middle of June to join its summer training camp. The Chinese Basketball Association reports that Yao said in a phone conversation that he has cancelled a scheduled foot operation and instead will return to China next month.

The Chinese Basketball Association reports that Yao said in a phone conversation that he has cancelled a scheduled foot operation and instead will return to China next month.

It has been around 10 days since the Houston Rockets were eliminated from the NBA playoffs. Ming Yao previously told the media that he would have an operation on his ankle joint after the playoffs, after which he would recuperate for three to four weeks. But later, his agent said the operation wasn't confirmed yet.

Since the Philippines is planning to bid to host the FIBA-world qualifiers for the olympics next year, I was thinking that this might be a good time for the Philippines to hold a parallel world basketball championships simultaneously with a height limit of 6 feet and below. This will settle once and for all who is the best in asia and the world. China is good only because they have 1.3 billion people to choose their good 7 footers, but how will china do against countries with shorter players? this will be the final ultimate test of basketball wizardry as to who are the best basketball players in the world pound for pound , inch for inch. This will also dramatize the need that there needs to be height divisions in basketball: at least 2 height divisions ---> unlimited height division and either 6 feet and below or 6'5" and below.
if boxing has weight divisions, then basketball can also have height divisions . it is commonsense and logical.

Yes that is ture

 

[CHINA TEAM2]

Yeah，Spainsh friend，i agree with your opinion。we still power！~no matter china A team and B team！~

 

[CHINA TEAM2]

I do not agree with u spanish man for many reasons:
1-Of course Chine is the best team in asia but i don't think their B team will be like Team A and u know that Chine A without Yao And Lebanon without Fadi el khatib in Doha 2006 game chine defeat Lebanon by 2 pts,and in last asian championship in Quatar 2005,chine defeat lebanon by difficulty.
.

haha，dear，“2pts”？or “difficulty”，that is not important，most important is we beat you again and again without YAO and DU FENG（my pic dunk no15 member），that is enuogh！in my see，final result is everything，beat you with 2pts=with 50pts。In fact，if you can beat us in future，you can say these better
