The question remains... who the hell are MJ and WL?

it is ok and i actually support it. surely, they won't be invited if there are better alternatives from the homegrown pool. it is just that too many fil-foreigners (say 6 or 7) plus a naturalized center looks unappealing to me . of course, it would not come into that. not unless there's 2 more fil-for there who stand's 6'9 and 6'11 and plays like josh smith and dwight howard respectively

I don't think there will be that many fil-fors in the line up

 

[kaiziken_pinas2]

I'd rather have a bunch of FilFors who can compete and win internationally rather than represent the country with "pure" (if ever meron) Pinoys and become the favorite whipping boy again.

The idea of boycotting and not supporting the team just because of too many FilFors and a naturalized player is idiotic.

A homegrown who is willing but lacks skills or a Fil-For who is willing but lacks skills?

I am not being prejudice to my own race. Either way, it all comes down to commitment and availability.

which was my point

 

[alien space bats2]

we are in a different time already..
those fans who keep on telling that fil-fors are not really to be proud of with our team are just plain b%llsh!t..

i bet that if they have companies, they will be closed already.

how about telling those stupid 1940's remarks/comments to russia,usa,jordan,lebanon,japan,etc <-- they even got naturalized players with them. or great britain,france etc <-- players got no blood relation at all with the country they play for!

or better tell manny pacquiao that he's fake because he has american coach.

too much pride = bobo.

Fil-For basketball players who opt to join the National Team Pool have the right to be where they want to be as they are also Filipinos. It doesnt matter if they are clueless as to what a Tabo is for or the distinction between Penoy and Balot.Right now, there is only one MAIN qualification to play for the national team--- A murderous desire to represent the country and a homicidal instinct to destroy every opposing team along the way. Oh wait, that's two.

i dont have any problem if we have a lot of fil foreigners on our NATIONAL TEAm as long as they are willing to sacrifce for the flag..

English please, so the rest of us can read what you say.

gogogo gilas...

+1 to you Bats.


Anyway, if ever Coach T loves CS, I'm sure CS can play in the Champions cup along with Homan as an IMPORT(Club champs allow two imports).

Cant believe they told us to stop dreaming lol. it's not that we're already sure about CS playing but still... the gesture that CS considered to play for us is proof enough that dreaming isnt that all bad.

as of now, getting CS could be more probable than getting williams.

hahahaha...maybe u should try to understand this also and try to align this of the thought that having a lot of fil foriegners is unappealing...

Try to look for the best trees in your forest, Pick the best ones!!!

NOTE: Dont judge the trees by their looks. maybe Unappealing trees has the best woods..hahaha

Some fans can really send confusing signals as to what they really like in a national team. Some would like all homegrown players, even though very few are simultaneously athletic, tall, strong and basketball-smart enough to really play basketball. Sure we have over thirty million homegrown 5'6" to 5'10" players to send to basketball tournaments; and they have exactly zero chances of winning over the next hundred years.

Besides, if you put yourself in the shoes of the Pinoy father or mother of the so-called Filfors, what would you feel if some local fans think your son does not deserve to play with Pinoys as Pinoys? That is wrongful discrimination by any definition, and certainly not a sentiment shared by all Pinoys. If that was true, then Jaworski, Atoy Co, Kelly Williams and all the other players with foreigner's blood in them should have been never alowed to play at all in any national team.

Or what about that 6'10" Visayan who is 100% Pinoy and 100% Chinese-owned and 100% gambler-controlled? Is this virtual slave, who can't even play for the national team for some stupid reason or another still a genuine Pinoy to you? Or perhaps you want the 6'11" Jericho de Guzman and Gian Chiu who have physical disabilities serious enough to prevent them from taking on the punishment of college basketball, let alone international cage wars? Maybe you would like the so-called "professional" players who also happen to be slaves to the playing schedule and priorities of their commercial teams and are not ever allowed to render enough time to internationally compete together as a national team? What about that foreigner Taulava who plays Pinoy better than professional "superstar" Pinoys with huge fan bases here who are completely unmasked in international games for their mediocre physical capabilities and near-useless talents? Even "Pinoy" players like Caguioa and Helterbrand moved and spoke so fake Pinoy, that one would wonder how they were classified as Pinoys at all.

Worse of all, the national team managers should never send injured players to international tournaments. Sending players with injuries and serious sprains not only can physically harm the playing careers of the affected players, but is also a supreme act of stupidity in FIBA championships where losing once is almost always fatal. Performing well in FIBA tournaments require players in near-perfect physical and mental condition to have a high chance of winning.

Sending 100 percent homegrown small players to international tournaments is always okay: all you have to do is to just SPEND 100 percent for their development and travel costs. Why is it that there are so many geniuses who think that this-and-that player should be in a national team, and not even willing to sacrifice his salary or his company's profits to send their favorite homeboys abroad? Why is it that so many corporate sponsors and millionaires suddenly disappear when one passes the hat to help defray the very expensive training cost of national team building???

It is so very easy to be false patriots and nationalists in sports like basketball, or to have champagne tastes on a beer budget. One can only hope that greater personal wisdom prevails so personal desires to have favorite local players in the national team -- which is often wrongly confused as some expression of patriotism or nationalism -- do not burn out the remaining common-sense in one's body.

I dont know whats not to understand here. The message can be long, but its crystal clear and very well said.

 

[dtfernando2]

There haven't really been a spectacular increase in the number of Filfors on Earth. What happened is that the search for tall and athletic Filfors became very efficient through the Internet. It is actually easier to look for good basketball playing Filfors than good and reliable Penoy and Balut vendors. As the local soccer coaches know, if there's enough recruitment money available, you can form an Asian-class national soccer team too using a Filfor backbone. That soccer team may actually have better prospects than our national basketball teams.

Due to lack of Internet facilities, we missed the services of David "Animal" Bautista (well, his name is pronounced in the American language as Bahtista). He would have been a monster small center capable of wringing the life out of Yao Ming sized centers.

cmon man, would you like to have gilas with 9 fil-for and one naturalized cager?

by the way that post was not for u. it just happened that it was posted after ur post.

ur probably thinking that im replying to ur post but no.that was because ur post was in reply to my post however u quoted the other guy

for ur edification, seeing the forest but not appreciating the trees means let us stop this fil-for vs homegrown thing as what really matters and what should be appreciated are what the players can do and can bring to the team .

my apologies if u were not matured enough to discern what i meant.

CS will loose his NCAA eligibility if he will play in Champions Cup because it is a club tournament..
