Phillip Morrison's reflections on the PBA, including a player's perspective of the Barako Bull fiasco.

[montam26]

The stink that nobody wants to walk about.

Remeber that talented guard Philip Morrison?
He has blogged about some things few in the PBA circle rarely talk about.
How hard it is to get a Philippine pasport due to red tape.
The way Barako just said: “See You Monday” for team practice instead of taking their draftees for dinner,
The sideswiping of player’s contracts,
The way the PBA is rigged against Fil-Ams.
Life in Manila in general is stressfull.
The way players have to “suck up” just to barely get by on as little as cheese money,
The under the table deals (so obviously, no financial cap)
Generaly how hard it is for a Filipino-Foreigner to make it and then stay in the league.

And some points on how to go through the process and survive and make it there.

In comes George Hill and Rodney Hood, too. So basically, Clarkson needs to earn his minutes competing with Hill, Smith and Hood. I think he ends up having the same role he had in Los Angeles.

its unfair but, people would crave for a 50 k staring salary and politics is part (but casyao mess things really up andbarako as an orgsucks) not only in pba bit in any corporate life(being in a bad company), he had a fallback that some or majorityof pba players do not have. Its not hyping ypurself up its like hyping your resume to the job is like being patient and plant seeds(playing collge herebe in the dleague) heck even heruela as a estenzo boy need to work himself up before being paired up to junmar(which coincidentally coached by the one he refused to play to in college(kots leo)) and build network..


Yeah he see juami tiongson(picked by bw in the first round of that draft) play in this league but lets face it he s like in the job sonce his teenage years

He'll play more as a point this time since cavs do not have a backup for hill. Calderon is good as d 3rd pg rather than 2nd.

and he won’t get enough touches with cavs and we all knew who is the ball dominant

Jericho Cruz traded to TNT for Sydney Onwubere. So TNT acquires a Ryan Reyes play-alike.

Can he play point guard though? Ryan Reyes is a good point guard. I see Onwubere as more of a wingman. Both are subpar shooters though.

another wing player for TNT.. it’s already crowded..

Might be crowded but they only get quality contribution from pogoy. Hopefully Cruz can provide additional scoring aside from Castro and pogoy.

we all know that TNT is not Jericho Cruz' last stop
