The idea is that playing for the country is a choice and does not need monetary compensation."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IV

Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostEveryone will be surprised to know if who is the other player who rreportedly "asked for the moon" to play for Gilas in the Asian Games. Yung unang na confirm who asked for the moon is Mikey Williams.
The other one is playing in Japan who is a 6-foot-5 wingman & a certified babe magnet.Originally posted by bluenote49 View PostDweet Ramos? Wtf! It's the result of SBP paying too much TF to JC & Kai. Expect other prospects to follow suit in the future. I hope this won't hurt our Gilas program.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostParang sya nga based on the clues provided by a youtube vlogger: walnut & the Golden Gate Bridge.
He played high school basketball at Walnut & he was born in West Covina, California which is near Golden Gate.

I called bullshit on that rumor, honestly. Because, Dwight flat out said that he wasn't going to play in the Asian Games."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

In an E.A.T. episode with Gilas players,it was revealed he played football in MiddleSchool,he looks big and probably played the Linebacker or Defensive End,tells you why he loves the physical contact and he shrugs it off.He already said that he can't play due to the Bleague schedule,this is just another smear campaign against the overseas guys,they targeted the most popular and succesful one Pinoy in Bleague,what a bunch of morons,Vargas probably behind it.

Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostWell, believe me bro, I don't want to believe that rumor. I have high regards on Dwight Ramos in terms of attitude. I hope it was just fabricated.
On the other hand, if the rumor does happen to be true, after what SBP gave Kai, I think Dwight was correct in asking for what he thinks his service is worth.

Originally posted by reamily View Posthindi hahahha, the team will be mediocre with him at 2.. he is a 3 at best..
If 3, good thing na lang that he's strong, because if he weren't, defensively, he'd be exploitable. I think he can guard the 2, 3, 4, thanks to his combination of strength and quickness.

Who are better options than him at 2? I'm thinking Parks, if only for his shooting (although he's no slouch defensively), and that's it. Newsome, for his defense. Any other option, we sacrifice defense.

Our 2's are reserved to brownlee's clarkson's heading and parksTo becomes Asia's Best, we need to compete against the World's Best..
1 Big 4 small > 5 out offense.

I think SBP should stop doing this. You can understand JC because he barely has any connections to the country. But for any eligibles it should only be insurance and a reasonable per diem. Kai exploited our need for a rim protector. With Edu there I dont think Kai has any leverage to ask too much. After his recent performance, he should be ashamed to ask something big.
Dwight's agent probably asked for an insurance money,understandable since they gonna pull him off the Bleague season and Vargas and company probably interpret this as asking to be paid.What a bunch of morons.They will stick with their SMC/PBA led stars,rather than pay some insurance money for overseas guys.Besides every win with their SMC led stars is a validation for them,that the PBA is still the best in Asia.
