for mer personally, I had no negative reactions on that proposed 4-point area.

if we read the history of the 3-point area, many people during those early times also had some nega reactions on it...."what the hell is the purpose of that curve line anyway".

I've already mentioned it before and I won't let it go until kingdom come.

the PBA should really tweak it's eligibility rules to allow AK34 to play in the league considering he is literally a product of Philippine Education and Basketball Development since his teenage years.

the In-Season tournament should be a welcome development considering the league was also sending teams in some regional leagues with 2 imports and scrap all together that 3 conference format instead.

Honestly, I would be fine with the 4-point line if we didn't have issues with roster construction and/or tactics at college level, club level, or Gilas level. That, or if FIBA adopts it.

We still need 3-men (Navarro, Malonzo, Gabe, Oftana, Arvin), 4-men (Balti, Tamayo, Mason, BGR), and 5-men (June Mar, Kai, AJ) with international size at club level (although most likely 5 will have to be filled by foreigners), we still need to work on closing out on shooters, we need to rotate quicker, we need to better execute and defend PnR's. Even executing zones, e. Sometimes, the zone is too static, rotations are too slow. If the concerns on just getting into 4-point shootouts turn out to be valid, the issues I mentioned here might be neglected except for maybe rotating to the perimeter, and it might hurt us internationally as a result, since some key players are already playing or will play in the PBA, they'll get used to a different ruleset and court dimensions.

But realistically, for now, I don't think anyone other than Lee and maybe Bolick can hit even 25% from 4-point range. So maybe most games defenses will still defend up to the 3-point line.

Sir IPC,

for now, I will consider that propose 27 foot(?) line as a flower vase, a display.

the most pressing issue like I mentioned awhile ago should be re-consider and additionally the ff:

- the PBA 3x3 program for men and women should be revive ASAP, enough of those childhood spat(?) with Mr. Rico Mascarinas's Chooks 3x3 it is already disbanded and the last time I've heard he is retiring soon.

- the PBA should spearhead for that very first 5x5 Womens Professional League in collaboration with SBP because it's really about time to establish it.

- the annual Batang PBA should be align to the Jr. MPBL as part of it's grassroot campaign

it's an open secret that the PBA is also the de-facto SBP as well.

it's very obvious.
 
One Sports will be streaming the Ginebra-New Taipei Kings game later at 8:30 pm

 
Even Pampanga Lanters could beat this Taipei Kings, all taiwanese locals and no imports at all. It is like they did not take the Ginebra seriously.

They have one import in Kiwwie Gardner sitting on the bench, And some of their locals playing are chasing for a spot on the team.

Kiwi Gardner a 5'7 import. And to think that their locals are still chasing a spot for the team means they did not field their star or regular players atleast.
 
Again CS was their best player by a mile. It will take some time adjusting to being without him and with the new players.

The heck was that? Did I read and understand it right?

sometimes it makes you wonder how these people became top executives of big companies in the Philippines while spouting non-sense like this

Not all press is good press. And even leagues that tried this like the Big 3 didnt get much traction from the 4 point play.
 
They are stopping Ginebra's momentum with all these delays man. Might be another cooking show antic.
 
Man I didnt know this Taipei Kings Import is Kiwi Gardner. Its been awhile since I last saw him. One of the pioneers of the word “youtube sensation”
 
As per Converge's FB Page, Coach Ayo and Luib are already out. Gov Delta next HC?
 
Hmm Ayo cant hold a job for more than 3 yrs (letran, dlsu, ust, chooks and now converge)
