Qatar blatantly used the rules by masquerading the foreigners as Qataris. FIBA was alarmed by that that the passport was implemented.

As I said Italy, Australia, UK and even USA cases are different than Indonesia. Those countries are well-known as migrants' countries - people choose...

Isn't that what adjustment strategy is all about, use the rules to your advantage and adjust accordingly. there is no point in arguing if one does...

It takes a matter of time before FIBA will press another alarm button just like what happened in 2011.

If I will set my feet of being basketball purist then I would say that this practice are detrimental as far as fairness on the game are concern but...

Does it tell you something that a mind like Thoir has taken this approach over trying to change the FIBA rule. He's done his homework and analysis...

That's what FIBA wants us to do - identify fil-fors as early as their teenage years. You have to work @$$ out in identifying talents. That's quite...

We have no arguments in UAAP and NCAA using FSA since thise leagues allocated only 1 spot per team. Besides, only Kouame is the naturalization...

Kung tutuusin we can do that also.. That is easy compare getting Fil-Ams commitment because most of them are not replying to us.. Agree ako na they...

They not give up dude.. Just they don't have big man that can fill the shoes if Prosper is sitting.. They have only promising prospect Derrick...

Thus, you are agreeing with me - Indonesia is taking the shortcut.

Then MVP should do it right now since he has more powerful backer. Let's get that rule whacked.

Is that because they follow the rules of getting them at age of 15 and give them a passport.. simple as that.. It's up to PERBASI eh they can mold...

^ Because the world is never fair, it was never a level playing field, the richer nations obviously are at an advantage. there actually is a...

It is like condoning Qatar's past and present actions of recruiting foreign mercenaries for basketball purposes.

Don't accused of loser's mentality. It is Indonesia not me for giving up their locals - for admitting that they can't develop their homegrowns. I...

Even if the Philippines or Indonesia had individuals who were there since childhood , the laws of the Philippines at least has no provision for them...

To reiterate, I am not against the Fotu's, the Maker's, the Deng's of basketball because they deserve it - they are genuinely there since their...

What's the difference? Big - Gilas will use Kouame as the LONE naturalized player while Indonesia is planning to use THREE Africans in 2023 LIKE what...

Well the kouame's , Fotu's , Maker's of this world are actually homegrown players... regardless of their ethnicity

That is losers mentality dude.. We are begging for NCAA why they pull out FSA's then you are disagree with Indonesia's hiring African kids when they...

Yes, that is main priority.. But it doesn't mean they will just play basketball only for good.. What is the difference of Indonesia's doing to ours...

Then it simple, give up basketball if you don't have patience to develop homegrown players or recruiting Indo-Americans (which they already did).

^ Well if the country isn't attractive for natural migration (not basketball purposes) and the laws do not have a provision to adopt genuine...

There's nothing insular with I said. I even championed the rights of these of FSA's in UAAP and NCAA since it really helps to elevate the skill level...

When will draft combine will start? I don't think it will start within Olympic season (July - August) and FIBA Asia cup running in August also.....

Most guys here are ignoring my argument and sir Jamskie's argument here. We are leaning towards to the concept fair play here. We don't have any...

These guys are racing against time right now. The announcement for eligible players is next Friday. I hope the PBA waives the requirements, even for...

Anyway they have Blackwater to do that.. Just that Terrafirma is so good to do "tank" games.. Now Terrefirma is good at paper over Blackwater.. Maybe...
