Qatar, Taiwan, and Bahamas. bball isnt a thing in those countries. adding whoever players they request does add more marketing for the sport.
    Taiwan's second sport is basketball, actually popularity of basketball and baseball is almost the same.. Bahamas most popular sport is basketball.. so it's invalid to say basketball is not a thing there...

      Are you have a pride? We are basketball nation and our line up is full of foreign players.. Stephon Marbury already live in China and he's speaking mandarin but China knows that they have to prioritize their local talents... Why so special about Kouame? He can't even lift Meralco in EASL.. better focus QMB's inclusion, try to invite Geo Chiu, or even Carino.. better accept those who have Pinoy blood on it.. mas katanggap tanggap Yan...

        Ange was a big factor in our gold medal win against Jordan in the Asiad.

        Tab said it himself that Al-Dwairi hated dealing with Ange.

        It’s nice to have another big. We need Japs to retire after all.

Playing here as an FSA or import is ok, but become as locals? So what is the essence to be a basketball nation of we can't develop local players?

            Abassi is of Senegalese and American background, born in Japan, but grew up in Taiwan. i dont know where he went for Primary educ but he atleast went to Taiwanese HS were he learned bball.He has no Taiwanese blood, but grew up there. he had no legally way to get passport until later on. despite that, Taiwan league see him as a local.
            Mike is a filam. He had chance to get passport but for whatever reason, he didnt till he got recruited by DLSU.

            I am not saying I dont want Mike to get exempted. but i want to highlight they are 2 difference cases.

            Abassi and Ange are far more similar. except Ange is not treated as a local by any professional league in the Philippines. if Pinoy leagues dont treat him as a local, why would the international league do that?

Kouame can't get local status if the main league here, the PBA can't make him as local.. and I think we have to forget him to be a local player.. it will hurt the development of Philippine basketball as whole than good.. if we push Kouame as local in the PBA, it will be a precedent to other teams in any leagues to do that... Imagine Ginebra will push brownlee to be a local player, SMB will push Boatwright to be a local player, etc ... Do you think it will be a good development to our basketball program, especially our local players as whole? Better focus on Fil-foreigners to push as a local players who are not eligible in FIBA...

            OK, JB's a do-it-all 6'6" wing who can be a go-to guy. Ange is a 6'11" paint protector. Bennie is a FIBA-sized forward. How many locals, FIBA-eligible or no, do we have in the PBA that can fill their role? How many FIBA-quality players, or even starter-quality players, does the PBA have at 3, 4, and 5?

            As far as I know:
            June Mar and Japeth are the only FIBA-sized centers in the PBA as of now.
            Only Japeth, Erram, Balti, and maybe June Mar and Carino can protect the rim at a good enough level as of now.
            Troy, Perkins, Hodge, Louie Sangalang, Ian Sangalang, Balti, Keith Datu, Cade Flores, Kai Ballungay, and maybe Leonard Santillan are the starting-quality players at 4.
            Arvin, Navarro, Oftana, Lucero, David, and hopefully Malonzo are the only starter-quality 6'5"+ SF's in the PBA as of now. Of that lot, Navarro, Oftana, and Zav can defend, and Arvin can carry the scoring load.
            194cm Ken Tuffin is a starter-level wing that can defend.
            Abueva's the only SF under 6'4" I know that can competently play 3 at the FIBA level without being too overmatched.

            The 3, 4, and 5 are the positions that the imports usually fill. Now as for the incoming players, how many can be big wings who can score and/or defend, or interior defenders at the 5?

            I think the PBA's lacking in FIBA-sized starter-quality players at the 3 and 5 spots. Specifically, lacking in 6'5" wings that can score, defend, and/or be 3-and-D players, and FIBA-sized centers who can protect the paint. I think it would make sense if naturalized players and former FSA's were incorporated as local players.
            Now, as for development in the 3, 4, and 5 positions, which the imports fill in the PBA, I have a few questions:

            How many local 196cm (6'5")+ players can carry the scoring load from the 3 spot?
            How many local 196cm+ players can defend the wing?
            How many local 196cm+ players can shoot?
            How many local 196cm+ players can play as 3-and-D wings?
            How many local players below 193cm (6'4") have the combination of size, length, foot speed, and skills to play the wing at the FIBA level?
            How many local 198-203cm (6'6"-6'8") players can play the 4?
            How many local players below 198cm have combination of size, length, foot speed, and skills to play the 4 at the FIBA level?
            How many local players can defend the paint in the FIBA level or have the potential to? I'm talking about someone like Kai, AJ, Douthit, even Ange and Japeth.

              This proves that Gilas wont have role players as NP.. this kind of post proves some filos rather have blatche, kabayan and brownlee type as NP than a hawkinson, gilbeck..

              And will complain if our coach relies too much on brownlee..

                How many NBA players did we developed as a basketball nation? Truth is we suck at developing players. This isn't even about national pride. The only reason they haven't allowed it is as you said, it would give the moneyed teams a huge advantage. Or it would allow the smaller teams to even the playing field by adding one naturalized player.

                  What's so special about Ange? He can protect the paint in the FIBA level.

                  How many locals can protect the paint like Ange, Douthit, Kai, AJ, and Japeth?

                  • The problem with Ange's case I think is that NP's are not allowed to play as locals in the local league. In fact NPs like Ange, Douthit and Blatche are actually at a disadvantage because the PBA for the longest time doesn't allow 6'10 and above imports. Actually this conf has no restrictions. But most imports are 6'8. Only one 6'10 I think. Kind of weird but maybe the PBA teams either don't have the budget or don't have access to the better 6'9 and above imports.

                      What you even mean? I am talking about Mike Philipps lol. So you don't want a fil-am to be local? Crazy. Was talking about him in the first place. I did not even talk about a single thing about Ange.

The child of Blatche from an American mother is a blood relationship to a Philippine citizen ( Blatche) regardless if he has zero Filipino entnicity (see the difference). Abassi has a blood relationship to a Taiwanese resident or citizen ( his parents ) despite being fully non Asian , do you get it?
                        Oh really? What about those Qatari players of Bosnian descent who obtained Qatari citizenship prior to their 16th birthday? Did jus sanguinis applied to them? Obviously not! Obviously the parents of these Bosnian-Qatari players are natural born Bosnians of no Qatari descent. What made them eligible to play for the Qatar national team as local players is their "conversation" from being natural born Bosnians to Qatari citizens prior to their 16th birthday.

                        So if we analyzed it thoroughly, FIBA's rule on player eligibility is mainly technical & doesn't really put much weight on descent. I've heard Ethan Alvano of the KBL was born to both Filipino parents who migrated to the US. But Ethan failed to secure Philippine passport prior to his 16th birthday therefore he can't play for the Philippine team as a local player.

                        The thing is, if a player is born in a certain country, he can actually play for that country as a local player. Such provision was used by SBP to make Matthew Ganuaelas-Rosser eligible to play for Gilas as a local player. This despite he failed to obtain Phi passport prior to his 16th birthday. Matthew was born in the Philippnes. On the other hand, Matthew's younger brother Brandon Ganuelas-Rosser was not born here in Phi & hasn't obtained Phi passport before his 16th birthday. Therefore Brandon he is not FIBA eligible.

                        This makes me think that in the eyes of FIBA, jus soli weighs more than jus sanguinis.
                        "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

                          I am really not familiar with how immig works but technically a person won't be able to leave the country if they does not have a passport right? Meaning MGR should have his PH Passport for him to be able to leave PH, which he did at a young age. So technically, he did get his passport at young age, way before he is 16. I might be wrong though.

                            Don't be surprised if the 2029 FIBA Asia Cup will stay in the West Region and be hosted by either the UAE or Qatar.

                                Natural Gas actually but point still stands. The Gulf countries are trying to stay relevant by using their oil and gas wealth to do sports washing.

                                Just look at who's hosting the 2034 World Cup and the process that led to it.

                                I won't be surprised if the WCQ groupings will be manipulated to favor Qatar or another gulf team.
