Be Realistic!!

I am realistic... and the reality of the philippine Nt#s achievements were all real...

what am i saying????

your NT may be the best in asia nowadays...but look guys.... does this best team you are considering did surpass the achievements of our NT???

the answer is a BIG NO.

if you are talking about reality... who should be realistic here???

the so called ~best teams in asia today haven#t proven anything yet in the international basketbal arena...

so who should be realistic???

when time comes that you have surpassed the philippine nt#s achievements in international basketbal, that would only be the time that you can say that our achievements in basketball were all part of the past... but as long as these so called best teams in asia today remains the least in the world basketball competions... YOU HAVE NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF!!!!

Tell youe NT's to prove themselves first in the international basketball arena and i will forget everything about philippine NT's achievements of the past.

GOOD LUCK.

philippines,s achievements were in the 1950s i think.......there wasnt any computers back than

it's true...

but where's your NT#s achievement????

[vladski]

I want to change the thread's question:

the question is: which Asian country will qualify in the coming 2008 Beijing
Olympics?

Make your decision and why you choose this team ??

I know i would be bias to say it would be philippines... but allow me to support my answer...

1. The teams composition - Philippine NT rosters except for center positions can play various positions at the same time... which could make the team flexible and taht would mean a good adjust mean can be done easily under any circumstances and as the need arises.
2. Preparations - before... we used to send teams with 2-4 weeks preparations only...the asean basketball held in beijing in 1990 now.. i guess this is the
3. We have a Heart of a true champion - we have been proven our worth as a champion not only in asia but also in World Chamionship and Olympics. This is not uncommon to us anymore...

the mission of the present philippine team is to restore the lost glory of the coutry in basketball... and they are aout there to do all the best for this mission...

The Top 4 Teams in Asia (NT strengths & weaknesses)

According to past records and statistics and performance in international competions... the best teams for me in asia are:

1. China
2. Philippines
3. South Korea
4. Qatar/Japan/Lebanon

philippines,s achievements were in the 1950s i think.......there wasnt any computers back than

we had little success in the 90's only. the best finish during that decade was the silver medal in the 1990 Asian Games.

FYI, we won the 1985 Asian Championship as well as 1973, 1967, 1963, and 1960.

i could go on and on with the long list of achievements by the Philippines just to prove my point, but it's all in the past.

the important thing is we love the sport as much as everyone else and we are happy very that we are sending a strong team now unlike in the recent past.

I am sorry to disagree. This satement is very wrong. As I have said, the philippines' achievements in international basketball were all part of the past, yes but the point is if we were able to be on top as our history shows... we can make it happen again. We have proven it already. And these teams from china, japan, s.korea are yet to prove their might in international basketball.

Tha point is... we already excel in this competition internationally... and you can't simply brush off that achievements. Professionals and all basketball experts acknowledge these achievements. It shows the quality of basketball we have offered in this part of the world.

As i have said... let this powerhouse china prove its prowess first in international basketball before we can say that they are the best team in asia. Otherwise all these claims are just fictions and dreams which has proven NOTHING yet.

Our team had proven already. What about yours?

hahaha... you made me laugh man... i am wondering if you really are a basketball fan at all... to say that the philippines hasn't played internationally in 50 years.... do you surf the net???

Lebanon played out NT in 2006 before proceeding to Japan for the WOrld Championship. The result: they lost to our NT.

Qatar: How many times we have beaten this team??? can't remember anymore.

S.Korea: They have beaten us in several occasions. Same us we have beaten them more than they have beaten us....

In previous internationally competitions, especially asian games, we assemble out NT to represent in this competions in 2 weeks time only. Memeber of Philippine NT are all playing from different ball clubs in the philippines. that menas that they are not playing as a team till they are assembled for this competition. The result??? it shows... we lost... but this time... we have made a lot of preparations... and this time we will be out there to play basketball like we used to play before, It means being a CHAMPION.

alright, stop this non-sense argument. I am against this kind of power rankings or whatever. you know guys, the only way to solve this, is for both teams to play each other or in a tournament. Phil team defeated Lebanon twice, with only a ragtag team, but for me, even if its a win, that's not enough. A tournament is very different from an exhibition game. you see, tournament has some factors in it, mostly conditioning. As for Lebanon, even if you guys went to WBC, you shud not brag about it. Remember, RP wasnt able to join the ABC. And based on the exhibition games that both teams played, we're at par, or maybe RP is a lot better. So as for now, lets stop this meaningless mismatching of our teams. Though some of us are really patriotic, and nationalistic, it is still better for us to stop this, inorder for us to prevent being humiliated. alright, where we are again? here's my top3 1.China, 2.RP, Lebanon. hahaha.. just kidding guys.. just kidding..
