Iran vs Jordan vs Lebanon vs China

[don juan]

dude its just a 1 player??? heck germany has american player CHRIS KAMAN
the all mighty Russia has an American player.it was just one of those plans to improve the game in general,and to tell u the truth rashiem will be last naturalized player..palma insisted to bring a good player to improve the all over performance and it wasnt easy procedure it went to the king him self to sign his papers and its the first time in our country to do so just for the sake of our NT other wise foreigners never get the jordanian ID no matter what.
but as u said this is still good generaly for the sake of the asian BB.

well, jordan needs a rasheim wright type of player in the future. hopefully they could produce a local version for this position and not naturalize every time once wright retires.

IF NOT FOR THE NATURALIZATION,CHINA,SOUTH KOREA,PHILIPPINES AND JAPAN STILL BATTLING FOR THAT 3 SPOTS.It just shows Middle east teams are still weak that they badly need reinforcements to match up against us.

hehehehehehehehehehe
tell me abt your team,how many reinforcements you have ? i guess 7-8?
guys look at the mirror before talking,korea got 2 foreign players (Daniel Sandrin and Julian kim).Japan naturalized JR Sakuragi and they didnt reach the semis,Philippines used many Fil-Am and they didnt reach the semis,so go figure!
Pathetic people!

I was checking a website and i figured out that most of the European countries are using half half players and sometimes naturalized players so tell me why would the European teams whom have the best basketball in the world to use this while small countries in Asia dont wanna use it ? oh yeah just for the sake of some weak teams like Japan,Philippines,taiwan etc...
and by the way we beat the hell out of Japan without any reinforcements and without Vroman,and we can beat any team without Vroman except for China.

Jordan and Lebanon proved their high quality of basketball either you like it or not,one or two players won't make a difference if the whole squad is weak and Lybia is the best exemple for that,they naturalized 3 Americans and they are loosing badly.

Philippines vs Iran in the Finals..

RP and Iran can't face each other in the finals coz they will be paired in the semifinals if they both win their quarter games

[flipballa7]

If everything goes as expected, then these four teams should end up in the final four. But let's not discount the fact that there could be upsets so anything can happen.

[Shin_Dong_Pa]

I can just imagine all the articles that'll come out saying that 2 "American" teams will be battling it out for the Asian championships.

fiba americas will start aug. 26 just kidding

relax bro.. lets just enjoy the ball game, no trash talking hehehe peace bro

[icebreaker]

Maybe there can be some upsets tomorrow. Philippines is an underdog but not the same team anymore that Jordan fought in the Jones Cup. For Jordan to win, they should not be over-confident during the game. But the fighting heart of the Philippine Team could win it all!

My friend, some guys really deserve trash....
You r right, we r here for basketball, but sometimes, some racial blind fans push us to speak on the same level of trash!!!!

[WIZARD]

don't even consider such comments my friend..
it's simple .. west asian bball is proving itself and making the historical eastern edge in asia disappear..
lebanon and jordan and iran are the biggest proof not mentioning qatar and syria maybe.

i know , and u know what if qatar still had its previous coach that led them to the world cup (cant remeber his name though) and if syria was playing with its all Good players with a decent european coach i could swear that
non of those east asian teams like japan korea taiwan would make it past the second round

[crouchingtiger]

Best 4 nations.

China beat lebanon by 3 and jordan by 6.
Jordan beat lebanon twice ( jones cup, fiba asia 2009)
iran beat lebanon ( jones cup)
jordan beat iran ( jones cup)


Now 5th i would place korea. Then 6th qatar, 7th phillpines and 8th taiwan.
9TH/10th japan/kazahkstan.

lets move to talk about the top four. who do you think is best out of it?

I think 5th is Korea, 6th RP, 7th Taiwan and 8th Qatar.

1. China
2. Jordan
3. Iran
4. Lebanon

Its obvious that in todays asian BB, there is a clear line between these top 4 teams and the 5th to 8th teams.

[GodSent]

Lebanon is not in the level of China, Iran and Jordan. I am 100% sure they will not enter the FIBA World Championship even if they are using American imports.
