I actually like the Chua hire (despite forever having a part of me hate him for 2015), but yeah this is a concern of mine. Using the filing of the exception to FIBA (which I think is a clear case in favor of QMB and SBP/GIlas if pushed for) to try and pressure QMB to join the PBA Draft -
He didn't give any detail as to what makes him eligible to play for Gilas as a local. What he said is that he is convinced he's eligible. Well, that's is his own opinion - something which won't matter if for instance FIBA thinks otherwise.Originally posted by IPC View Post"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.

That's the dark reality we have to face in Philippine basketball. It's almost like politics eh. It's a dirty business.Originally posted by LittleMarco2016 View Post"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.

I noticed that part too. He didn't elaborate on his passport situation.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

A rule must be crafted and implemented such as top 4 picks in each draft should stay at least a minimum of 3 years with the same team that drafted them. This is to avoid proliferation of farm teams.Originally posted by live_evil View Post

And I believe that Mike Philipps will not be cleared as a local until he plays in the PBA.Originally posted by Silent Killer View PostAttack

Perhaps he was instructed by SBP people not to talk about that matter in the media just yet.Originally posted by IPC View Post"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.

Didn't the PBA has that rule some years ago but di rin nasunod?Originally posted by FilWelsh View Post"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.

Can he play there? Because B league needs atleast 1 official Fiba game as local (youth or seniors) before officially qualified as Asian import in B league.. if that's the case then SBP might not tap him for now because that means pba will lose another talent for their league...Originally posted by Silent Killer View PostComment

Im willing to give SBP the benefit of the doubt on this one. If QMB is really certain about his eligibility he would definitely be more clear about it. Id rather we err on the side of caution, we dont want another Hahop situation for our process.Comment

If QMB says he's had a Ph passport since he was a kid and he really has one, then as a Filipino, I believe him.
Seeding doubts without firsthand knowledge/evidence serves no benefit (unless you're with the pba).Comment

But SBP still not cleared the issue.. they not announcing yet.. because we all know they will declare it if they formalize his eligibility.. so until SBP will not declare his status, we can't assume that he's finally eligible.. especially now Long hair is the Executive director and team manager of Gilas now...Originally posted by Metta View PostComment

If they not announcing it yet...then we should just STFU.Originally posted by Giannis34GOD View PostComment
