Are you out of your mind? Do you think they are playing for free? I don’t need source since it’s non sense to talk with you by the way…

FIBA rules is very different than NBA rules… 2nd, a prime Kobe, Lebron, KD, Melo, etc… just only won 5 vs Lithuania in 2012 Olympics and 8 vs Spain in 2008 Olympics… a full force Serbia or Wemby led France is on the level of those Lithuania and Spain squad of the past… and by the way Serbia won silver medal in 2016 Olympics w/ Jokic by the way… need some research first before you post… aside from KD, old lebron and defensive liability steph (in fiba setting), other USA players are not impactful as those 3… morant, Zion, harden, Westbrook, lilliard, etc… are flops in fiba… they will be exposed there…
Tab's biggest legacy to Philippine basketball was triggering the Asian OFW leagues movement, the impact in improving our level of FIBA competitiveness is evident with our best eligible players (Dwight , Kai, AJ, Abando, Kiefer ) all belong to that pathway.
ironically it's this same change in landscape (Asian league exodus) that kicked out Tab.
Which begs the question what really is the objective of the SBP stakeholders, is it really basketball progress or commercial self interest?
Given the same amount of preparation (those NTs you mentioned have been together for years), a full-strength US team will demolish any team, even those powerhouses you mentioned. Yes, they have had close games with Spain etc. but they still won due to sheer talent. Just imagine if they also have the same amount of (and gave the same importance to) prep.
The 2023 WC US team is not nearly close to being the A Team and they're still destroying teams left and right (granted they lost to a sweet-shooting Lithuania team but they are still the absolute favorites to win it all).
Talent and system are the two main ingredients for success. The US has loads of the former and they just need a little bit of the latter--goes to show that they are still the number one basketball power and the gap from them to no. 2 is not that close I think.
Tab's biggest contribution is his interview with Eric Menk.
Wherein he made us fans believe that we can be a rank 15 in the world.
And thinking that our team is small is rubbish. There are many tall players in our country where in we can form a team of 12 of. True
And also the way he made us believe....as long as we can win 1 possession at a time...we have a chance to win
It's not realistic to get much reps in official FiBA competition representing your national team, at best preperation for FIBA tournament is 1 month in a year .
almost all elite world class level players have a mother team (whether it be school or a club). It is in respective mother teams whether High school age or pro age (mid 20s) where one gets exposure and develops. The reality though is world class level exposure at different age levels for a full time mother team (minimum 6 months a year ) is NOT available in the Philippines . One realy has to go overseas to get that exposure.
all top ranked FIBA perforing teams have majority of tbeir playees who have experience in these major leagues (college age and above), we do NOT need to reinvent the wheel, this is the blue print almost every successful national team has gone through.

Canada can. Just my opinion.
Canada vs Slovenia - -tied 50 at HT.
Battle of the same sized - mid sized position-less squads. Both squads have 6'4 - 6'9 switchable / versatile players on the floor. These 2 teams should provide the blue print to PHL basketball, on how to play 5-out with ball dominant players (Luka and SGA), without being so tall.
