Why would FIBA hinder the development of basketball in SEA? What do they get out of banning the ABL?

FIBA ASIA is plain lazy on making a champions league version in Asia

AFC champions league proved that it can happen..

Theirs WASL and EASL. include china, maybe some NBL1 teams, some ASEAN teams (malaysia, indonesia, thailand, vietnam to mix. Then rename it to Asia Super League

PBA should buy abl and allow the mainstay teams (Singapore Slingers, macau Black bears and hong kong eastern to become guest teams in pba)..

It's looking like Ibeh and Lofton for Meralco for the rest of the EASL season

Trillo explained Lofton was signed up as Braimoh isn’t allowed to travel outside the Philippines and return.

“He has a Nigerian passport. They don’t allow multiple entry anywhere around the world. We tried to talk to Immigration already. It’s still on hold. We have three imports practicing with us,” said Trillo.

The Bolts are scheduled to play on the road against the New Taipei Kings on Wednesday, after suffering an 89-61 defeat to Japan B.League side Ryukyu Golden Kings last November 15 with Ibeh as the lone import.​

Meralco decided to sign the 6-foot-4 Lofton because of its need for guards following injuries to Aaron Black and Allein Maliksi. Fortunately for the Bolts, Chris Banchero has returned for the Bolts after recovering from a hamstring injury.

“He is a dynamic guard who will help us,” said Trillo, who added active consultant Nenad Vucinic was responsible for bringing in Lofton. “We didn’t know the situation of CB, we have Bong, Allein, and AB out. You like to bring two big imports but at this time, that might be good for us because we are lacking guards.”

Rondae's older brother to replace Quincy Miller

https://www.philstar.com/sports/2023/11/29/2314917/rondaes-bro-join-tnt

TNT is winless in three EASL games and has three regular season outings left. Quincy Miller will suit up for TNT in his final EASL contest against the Anyang Jung Kwan Jang Red Boosters in Korea on Dec. 6. Then, Miller will head to the Japanese B-League to play for the Toyama Grouses, last in the 24-team D-1 with a 0-14 record.

I was one of them. Context being the Filipino team was getting then-UAAP players like Baclao, Mirza, and Espiritu before going through all the bs of the then-PBL as well as familiar imports like Gabe Freeman. No different from Kiefer or Parks teaming up with Brownlee playing teams that had Pringle, Wright, or C-Stan. There wasn’t an “exodus” of players, it was a glorified MPBL-level club with a handful of college stars, PBA free agents, and foreign players. The problem was all those guys treating it as a stepping stone to the PBA. At least Kiefer and Parks would eventually play in Japan, but majority of the players had no star appeal because every other team was built around their imports and it made it unwatchable if teams didn’t have local stars. Mario Wusyang was old af, Loh Shee Fai was limited to catch and shoot, then you had young players like Delvin Goh whose games never developed because they were playing behind imports.
 
Ayun, MERALCO did well this time with 2 imports, kept in step with New Taipei. Sayang, talo, but at least there's progress.

Lofton was a spitfire, too bad Braimoh can't play, I think he can be the better pair than Ibeh.

They miss the CBA, they probabaly want T1 there even if their brand of ball is just give the ball to their ex-NBA player and watch, maybe Mongolia needs foreign players to be considered... but for now, EASL is asking if the B.League champs are better than the KBL champs.

I'm actually waiting when the tickets for their game vs Merlaco come out just incase I can have my Linsanity paperback book signed. It will be weird to watch a packed Ultra seeing a number of Jeremy Lin fans who might outnumber Meralco employees and the players' family members.

Politics still ruined the development of sports... Obviously CBA didn't join because of Taiwan involvement... CBA will be a big help for the popularity of EASL... There are more than 400 million CBA fans out there... More than the combined population of Korea, Philippines, Japan and Taiwan...
 
So, TNT are 0-4, out of the knockouts.

Man, they aren't really good in the Asian context.

Taiwan and CBA teams compete before in EASL. CBA allows Taiwan to be loval players in CBA. Some of Taiwan NT players played in CBA.

Because in early years of EASL, it was treated as pre season event…
