Filipino Players in Foreign Leagues

[Anonymous1232]

Both. Lol

Yep, both.

We have to change the name of our league into a more international name like Asian Basketball League, Eastern Basketball League, Equator Basketball League, Sunshine Basletball League, etc.

Philippine Basketball League is a bit shallow. Its like youre stuck in a small circle or something. Nothing is exciting at all. We need to attract international young players to play in our league.

The More intermational players, the more we can attract big time sponsors.

Look at Nba , they didnt name it American Basketball League, instead national. That means more MONEY.

Agree. Another example is the Liga Endesa of Spain. I have the privilege to watch their games circa 2012-14 through BTV. This league is just like the NBA - open to all nationalities.

The PBA won't even accept naturalized Pinoys
. And how many Fil-foreigners did they turned away last draft? A lot of game changers that could have helped the independent teams and add excitement to the league but nope. Can't have that.

I have no problem with the name. Nobody is complaining that CBA has China in it. But I agree they have to let more Philippine citizens in. But I have a nagging suspicion that some of these guys got their Philippine passport by some unconventional means. I have a feeling that without the Hagop rule we will have 4th generation Fil-fors representing us. Heck how is it possible that Jalen Green, a 4th generation remove from the Philippines can even be considered? Kabayan Clarkson is 1/4 Pinoy right? But somehow he got his Philippine passport before he turned 16. Something tells me it isn't hard to generate Philippine passports if you have the right connections.

Funny how it's not the lack of fans, viewers or TV coverage that's going to kill the PBA eventually but bigger leagues in other countries. SMC might be the biggest fish in our pond but they are not the biggest in Asia.

It's so satisfying to see the fragile egos of these DOMs being stepped on by our neighbors.

Once all our neighbors open their teams to our players, not even a ban will stop the players from jumping ship. Worst case scenario, they can end their careers in South East Asia once they are washed up.

For the first time in PBA history, there's an entity that wields more "power" and sway over them.

The PBA will not die but SMC and MVP teams will not be able to monopolize talent. Bollick will be a case study. He is bigger than Kiefer and seems to be poised to be the best home grown PG of the league. Can SMC match the JP offers? In the PBA he is owned by the team but with the B league he has leverage. Secondly, level playing field and greater competition might come into play. In an SMC company he will play for a star studded team but also will need to drop games if Chualay deems it necessary. A competitor like Bollick might not like that.

Jack Animam's game later at 9 pm

thanks for sharing. animam has slimmed down and is much more mobile since the last time i've seen her play for perlas & 3-3. imagine if somebody like junmar fajardo experienced something similar in his younger years

Inagine if the farm teams lose their talents to the B-League. How will the mother teams reload then? Bolick is bound to be harvested anyway so he's not a big loss to NP but to SMB or Ginebra he's the perfect piece to upgrade their roster. He's been a legit BPC candidate like CJ when healthy who they'll likely trade for again for peanuts. At least he won't be involved in another imbalanced trade that will break the league.

Yeah I said it before he's not used to losing. A competitive guy like that won't like it when he's team is intentionally dropping games.

“We should actually sit down and talk about this. It shouldn’t be just a matter of money. This is an invasion and a disrespect to the league,” he said. “Just because you have more money to offer doesn’t mean you’re free to poach any player, right?”

Funny the PBA said that. They should look at their own backyard first before accusing other leagues of disrespecting their league. The second quote is even more tone-deaf. Don't they know about those farm teams getting their top players poached for bench players? Don't tell me money isn't involved on those lopsided trades.

Vargas just talking hot air and empty words. There're no legal reasons to disallow players from leaving. Its like saying "Hoy mga nurses, IT, engineers, laborers, wag kayong mag abroad, kahit mas malaki sweldo dun, dapat dito kayo kasi disrespectful sa aming mga may-ari yan"

Vargas is a candidate for the Darwin Awards

Open to all but with restrictions:

SPAIN


Each team can have 5 players “formed in Spain”, 2 non EU players and 5 from EU.

“Local player” is defined as the following: He can be a player who has grown to the Spanish youth teams (whoever played at least 3 seasons in Spain’s domestic leagues, before he turned 20 years old) or from countries which are associated to Spain.

So, a player like Luka Doncic who played for Real Madrid starting from age 14 to age 18, he can be considered as a local, and not count in the non-Spaniard quota

the article says that Heading is a Gilas cadet. that's insulting, our team in the ACQ is the seniors team. he should be regarded as a full-pledged member of Gilas (or was, depending on how call ups play out if a drafted Gilas member do not elect to play in the PBA).

Honestly si Randolph Leongson (the author) isn't good in writing articles. May naging issue na rin ata yan recently lang about his article. Not quite sure sino involved.,

4- 6 foreign players is the range in Europe. Asian leagues are still more restrictive with Japan B.League the most lenient and the PBA the most strict.

 

[JAMSKIE2]

PBA players(wing) that I think could make an immediate impact to a B-League ballclub are RR Pogoy, CJ Perez, Calvin Abueva, Calvin Oftana, Mac Belo and Matthew Wright..

In short, one must be an established pro to ensure an immediate impact in an overseas pro league like the B-league. All players you mentioned, except Calvin Oftana, are established pros. I think Oftana will also struggle a bit if he plays in the B-league right now. I see him playing like Thirdy Ravena did last year in the B-league.

I think Allein Maliksi would also thrive in the B-league as his style of play fits the Japanese brand of basketball. But what makes Maliksi a less viable prospect for a B-league team is the age factor.

Sam Froling was NBL's most improved player. Filip Petrusev is way better than Froling at this stage of their careers and we know how Kai performed against Filip.

Diba if you process the information how can negatrons say that Kai will be benched?hahaha

If kai is unknown and has zero potential to make it big then why would EWP open an academy and making Kai as its ambassador? EWP is going for broke with their plans on Kai. Di ata nagiisip ang EWP? or sino ba talaga mali.haha

Yeah, very very correct. Isn't "money" the sole factor why SMB & Ginebra are so loaded & bloated with quality talents while most teams are so "malnourished" talent wise? If confronted with such issue, PBA people would reason out, "no rule/law was violated".

Now, PBA is getting its own dose of medicine. Sasabihin nila, "This shouldn't be just a matter of money". Really? Do they think fans will believe that what made SBM & Ginebra super bloated with talents has nothing to do with money?

Lokohin nyo ang unggoy para dumami kayo.

And BTW, is there any law being violated by B-league teams if they tender lucrative contracts to PBA players? Its a free enterprise out there.

Great to see PBA getting its own dose of medicine. Your past wickedness will haunt you someday in such ways that there's nothing you can do but to accept & endure it. Masakit di ba? But PBA people deserve it no less.

They say "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed is king".

SMC is the one-eyed king in the PBA. But outside of the PBA where each people has 2 eyes & a 20-20 vision, SMC is reduced to being a slave.

Its like telling Pinoys who are planning to work abroad, "Huwag kayong masilaw sa pera na ino offer sa inyo ng ibang bansa. Dito kayo mag trabaho sa bayan natin kahit maliit ang sweldo".

 

[reamily2]

The only change i see in this is pba teams allowing their players to do ligang labas to compensate tge potential earnings they have in japan

 

[B L A C K S U N2]

uh oh, looks like you'd signed your own death warrant brahh. You've crossed the point of no return. Good luck coming out alive. J/k

I will stick with my opinion and I honestly don't care what everyone says. Unless Kai proves me wrong that he's actually an NBA caliber not just another 7ft player who just happened to be a social media darling, I'll not change my view of him.

I don't care if you categorize me as a Kai fanatic but Lavar Ball's strategy of being obnoxious got him tv deals, product endorsements, 2 out of 3 high draft picks, his own league, and a shoe business. You can agree amongst yourselves about stuff but admit that you're wrong about lacking self awareness. Lavar is a business genius and a visionary.

Heck if it wasn't for Lavar, Kai wouldn't be in Ignite and the NBL today. Single-handedly made people rethink about what the NCAA is doing and could've helped out Kobe Paras' case. He blazed a trail for alternative ways for college ballers.

Lacking self awareness? Maybe look in the mirror first lol.

Nah, you guys overhype a kid who has never achieve anything in his career yet and even comparing him to the greats. Now, that's what I called lack of self awareness.

Genius? We live an era where a dude who blabbers like an idiot is considered as a genius. Jesus. Money and popularity is the only thing that matters in this society. God help us all.
