Fiba World Cup 2023 Philippines

[CoJ]

I wonder who the US will send. They don’t consider the WC to hold the same prestige as the Olympics.

Still hope to see guys like Bam, Herro, and Booker.

i expect chet to be part of the team, same with jalen green, kid wiill not pass the opportunity to play in the Philippines. Historically, USAB sends a young team to the FIBA worlds, hope booker and herro will be part of team USA, bam got his olympic gold so he might decline an invitation.

I think bradley beal and trae young already committed to team USA for the WC. expect to see alot of borderline/buddings stars.

So article states NZ can not join Gilas (same region raw )
Fans of Gilas should just pore over Pots 3, 5, and 7, as these are the ones that will feed into Group A. With all the stipulations in place, from a field of 31 other teams, Gilas is looking at just eight countries that could join them in the group phase: Brazil and Dominican Republic from the Americas, Greece, Italy, Germany, and Finland from Europe, and the Ivory Coast and Angola from Africa

Well it's one sports afiliated to MVP, so no idea on accuracy

We need to have the right talent and a sense of purpose to even have a chance at beating those teams. Man.

WTF one sports.
"Gilas would be to draw the Dominican Republic, which is ranked 23rd, Finland, which is 24th, and the Ivory Coast"


Eh DR and Finland are in 1 pot , LOL , how can you pick 2 from one pot to join a group walang ba editor yung one sport?

WTF talaga sila. I've read many of their articles, and they ain't exactly it. Only consistently decent writer there is Ceej Tantengco.

Again and again you're not reading . I've already said MOST prefer NZ as beatable compared to Finland and DR . And yes by reputation talent as you cited.

Yet time and time again NZL punches beyond its weight or perceived strength (of fans). That is why there are still some (NOT all or majority) who rather avoid NZ as compared to Finalnd and DR. These people are not necessarily wrong , as they have merit to what they're saying given NZ history of always playing beyond it's strength.. (still can't understand?)

We have different opinion... But most coaches will pick NZL than DR or Finland anyway... Don't be bias on your team... Your team is good, but it is not considered as good as Finland, who placed top 8 in Eurobasket last year and DR, who beat full strength Argentina last qualifiers and adding KAT is huge for them.... Jordan and Lebanon beat your team, that is statement that NZL is not invisible squad

Article has too much mistakes in his writeups... They didn't watch the draw procedures posted by FIBA... If that was the case then Spain will go automatically in Okinawa... since PHL and USA are already in Manila.... That is wrong...

what difference in opinion and what bias, will re post agsin what i said

"Again and again you're not reading . I've already said MOST prefer NZ as beatable compared to Finland and DR . And yes by reputation talent as you cited."

The problem with what your saying is you're trying to stress highlight your agenda "that NZL is overattted (not thst good), using popular draw preference, when NO one is arguing that preference is not true anyway.. (Everyone agreed including me most prefer Finland and DR as stronger thsn NZL..

The bottomline is NZ is considered as world cup "DARK HORSES " (regularly upset stronger teams) by many including experts (coaches ), while all Asian teams are NOT .considered in same way. And have NOT yet even upset a stronger Euro since 2010.

BTW dark horses doesnt mean they are stronger than Euro teams LOL (for the nth time )

Isn't One Sport the broadcaster for the draw and world cup LOL. ? if they don't even get it , paano pa yung people who listen to them .. the reality of situation in Philippines , so much misinformation ,, leading to ignorance..

it's no surprise that Philippines ranks high in the ignorance index -- https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/index...cent-meertens/

this highlights how media can brainwash beliefs and thinking...

But the ignorance often gets a lot of help. London’s population, for example, , people were so panicked by immigration that they voted equally strongly for “Leave”.

This was not just a coincidence. For many years a big chunk of the British media, including the country’s three largest-circulation morning papers, the Sun, the Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph, has constantly exaggerated the scale of the immigration and the problems it causes. So in parts of England where immigrants are scarce, people don’t believe the evidence of their own eyes; they believe the media instead.

lesson: really don't rely on Philippine media ( I'm serious) , this is true for basketball as well, ( they have shaped a belief that is inaccurate, for the longest time many thought the PBA and Philippines was one of the best basketball outside of the US and NBA LOL, recently they made people believe Kai was a serious NBA prospect, who opted to declare for draft..

Education too, sir. It's not good enough.

As to Philippine media on basketball and the PBA, I remember Snow Badua saying that the best players are in the PBA, not in the B.League, not in the UAAP.

Snow also said at one point that SMC has the best power forwards, best bigman (June Mar), and best small forwards: https://twitter.com/snowbadua/status...767030273?s=19

Oh, man, Snow. So far, those takes are off, at least in the FIBA setting. Sure, you have Japeth as a probable PF, but the best FIBA players we have right now are in Japan.

Giannis is booted out if the playoffs, so he’ll have 4 months rest before he enter the greek training camp. I pity the nteams that will be part of his group, Giannis will vent his playoffs frustrations in the World Cup

Possible PHL opponent (33% chance)... Giannis will put all of his frustrations at FIBA WC.... They can't stop Butler... I dunno why Bucks coach adjust on how to defend Butler... Or put Giannis on him, so that he can disrupt some of Butler's shots....

Sir Dave, since his lone college career at University of Georgia Bulldogs days I find Anthony Edward an ultra athletic dude who plays multiple sports like American Football and Baseball during his childhood days. No wonder he was selected Number 1 by the Timberwolves in the 2020 Draft because of his very impressive stats at Georgia with his 19.1 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 2.8 APG, him being a 5-star recruit, a finalist of the prestigious Jerry West Award among others. But despite of this attributes I found Edwards a little bit off sometimes(may sumpong) even during his college days and because of what happened a few days ago by throwing tantrums against a those 2 poor souls at the Ball Arena and the latest news is that he was charged with a 3^rd degree assault and may sentence up to 18 months in jail(tsk! Tsk! What a mess for a young man whose starting to carve a name for himself as one of the most excited baller of the league and sadly we may not be able to watch him play come FIBA World Cup)
