"They Should Have Been Here" Thread (2009 Asian Championships)

[durden_tyler2]

Let me start by saying we all have probably our own takes and own opinions regarding which players should be included in the national team. Who are the players you miss the most? Or you think SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED or WOULD HAVE BEEN A FACTOR at least. Be it on your own team or just fan of the other teams.Please consider the age, mileage and/or injuries so we won't be putting Asian legends in this list

i will start with our RP Team:

Jimmy Alapag
Don Don Hontiveros

Both are healthy but for some reason our coach doesn't like either of them. Now that you've seen the performance of your team so far who do you think deserves to be there?

 

[greenarcher2]

Where is Lebanon's Joseph Vogel?

 

[rikhardur2]

Yao

 

[b3lowzro2]

Vogel's too old.

i thought this was a thread dedicated to teams that should be here but they got booted of the qualifiers or did not participate.


oh well here's my list

china:
YAO MING!!!

India:
Robinson

japan:
J.r Henderson aka Sakuragi
(Tabuse is a bit overrated)

indonesia:
Mario Wuysang & Rony Gunawan

 

[greenarcher2]

I wanted to see Kawamura and Tabuse for Japan. Plus Sakuragi, they could have made this tournament more competitive.

Yo Satria, can you contact your National federation and/or the IBL so they can get Ferdinand of DLSU greenarchers. He's a decent big guy who throws a lot defense against taller pips.

 

[mohsena26312]

no doubt AIDIN NIKKHAH BAHRAMI

----------------------

Karam Ahmadian - retired from the NT but he is still great
Iman Zandi - personal problem with the federation
Saman Veisi - injury (he was able to play here but he decided to leave the team and do his surgery)
Jaber Rouzbahani - injury
Arsalan Kazemi - unknown !!!

I think this is our best possible team

PG: Kamrani, Davari, Veisi
SG: Afagh, Zandi
SF: Nikkhah, Ahmadian, Kazemi
PF: Sohrabnejad, Sahakian
C: Haddadi, Doraghi, Rouzbahani

'only little coverage about him in our newspaper ( or about basketball particullary ),

but I think our federation aware about him, I remember one of article about him written by the prominent person in Indonesian basketball

 

[saints132]

no doubt AIDIN NIKKHAH BAHRAMI

I agree. He really shouldn't have left that early.

bad schedule from our federation, the final four of IBL (Indonesian league) almost the same time with this Asia Championship,

'so our genious federation sending a club which didnt play on IBL final four (Pelita jaya Jakarta) play as national team

Chen Hsin An
Cheng Jianghua
Hongkong NT
Syrian NT
Jaber Rouzjabahani

Regarding Syria, can anyone conclude that the wildcard berth given to Taipei is justified now? They lost to Iran and the Philippines by close margins and are on their way to the quarters most probably, would Syria have done the same or better?
