Filipino Players in Foreign Leagues

[ARMIR]

Just recently a hockey player was arrested on manslaughter charges for an incident that happened during a live game.

They could have implemented a neck guard a long time ago,but the players themselves thinks its unnecessary.

I agree with this. There’s always a risk of something bad happening whether intentional or not. It’s on the KBL to make the penalty commensurate to the infraction. I always hear penalize the deed not the result. But I think you have to take that in consiideration as well given the severity.

What works better is when a league raises the amount of fine and suspensions,it stops or reduce the extracurricular activities,just like in the NBA during those bad boys era,big fines and suspensions made them fools acting up.

They should suspend the player without pay for however long the victim is out IMO. Happened before in football though I can't exactly remember who and when or I might be remembering things differently

A long time suspension is a must and a bigger fine for sure.I'm just not a fan of taking things that happened on the court to civil court,unless you can prove that the other player is deliberately trying to hurt you,evidence doesn't match it,the dude just commited a big brain fart unfortuanelty,he just doesn't know his own strength.

Yes, when you are an athlete, you need to be aware about the "assumption of risk".

Another thing we can fault her is Abando's own coach,he plays him in the SF position,at his size he really have to jump for the rebound,blocks on taller and heavier players,I have been noticing that in some instance he ends up on the floor alot,yes it makes Filipino fans and vloggers happy but the law of average says sooner or later he will get hurt,I just didn't think this bad,I thought the usual sprained ankles,knee or elbows in the head.At 6'2 I thought his coach will switch him to SG,where he matches up offensively and can defend players closer to his size easily with his athleticism.

Yes that's why they charged the guy with manslaughter. Players don't think it's necessary because lifting the blades towards the neck should never happen.

Getting jailed for something that happens in a game is no longer unprecedented.

Everytime the courts intervene,the sports loses something thru changes that people who hate the sports want to implement.With Abando's case,there's no way they can prove tha there's an intent to harm him,Abando at his size has to jump really high for a rebound or a block and I have been making some notes that he falls on the floor more than usual,since he's guarding guys that are taller and bigger.He should have been playing a posiion for his size at SG,I have a feeling that whenever he challenges the bigs,that one of these days he will land akward and twist his knee,ankle or an elbow on his head,little that I know it was worse.We know that Filipino fans love that a 6'2 skinny guy goes way up to grab the rebound and blocks the taller bigger guy,but the law of average is against him,even if this didn't happened,I can't imagine him colliding with big bodies on the court will not left him unscathed.

Great game for oczon

Glad to be proven wrong with Oczon

Great game for oczon

Wow. 23 pts and the game winning shot. What a 2nd game. Yes, glad to be proven wrong. It seems he has improved in his final season in CSB compared to when I last saw him with the Strong group. Is he playing PG or SG? I am assuming SG as I didn't see any assists in his highlights.

Told ya'll he'll be fine. He's one of the hardest working players i ever saw. Literally lived the mamba mentality of his idol kobe. Really proud and happy of him to show he belongs there hehe

He really improved the playmaking aspect, courtesy of CCT playing him the ball more. His numbers may seem deceptive with poor shooting percentages but thats because of the jordan treatment the other ncaa teams did to him. Since gozum was underachieving and coteza struggled througout the season, they knew oczon will do his best to step up. Give him a look and he'll cook the living daylights out of you.

Is Heading joining Strong confirmation that he is a free agent?

I think he already is a free agent. Nagasaki Velcra cut him last year after they got promoted to B1.
