Filipino Players in Foreign Leagues

Blinded by money is his reasoning. LOL. Following Henson's blanket statement KG, Lebron and Kobe were also blinded by money when they didnt pursue college and went straight to the pros. I mean the real KG ( Garnett ), Lebron ( James ) and Kobe ( Bryant ) not the pinoy ones.

Also, Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson also didn't finish their 4 years, and decided to enter the draft. So they must be greedy too

Jordan finished his degree when he was already in the NBA.

Hot take: based on how he played under Coach Chot, he will not thrive in the PBA anyway. It's actually best that he play for a team that both sees more value in him, and is a fit for how he plays the game (i.e. none of the PBA teams)

I actually agree with this take. He's not fit for the PBA. He'll just be looked at as a hustle four, and there are plenty of beefier ones anyways. He won't have much of a place there.

That said, he better develop his shooting. That, and his lack of shot creation, in my opinion, is why Chot benched him in the Indonesia game.

he will have a lengthy career outside PBA..

QH lack research is showing, even the all time leader in 3 pt fg’s made finished his degree just few months ago..

Interesting take. It's similar to how some NBA players who excelled in the 80s and 90s can not excel in today's game and vice versa. Partly explains how Navarro's value was not discovered while in San Beda (and in the hand-to-hand-combat style of NCAA).

This may continue a trend of our players more suited for the modern version of basketball to take their talents elsewhere.

It also help that he found his b@lls while playing for Ateneo.

This is worst!

Broadly speaking, the suit "contends that Bell’s relationship with Malone and payments to Beasley’s mother were 'intended, ultimately, improperly to induce Beasley into executing a player agent agreement without competition from other agents.'

In another note some function from the forum is missing for my browser, any idea why is that? I'm using Brave Browser.

Why did they get a shady guy like him for an agent?

Well it's not like his management group EWP does not have a reputation of cutting corners and wheeling and dealing behind the sceenes, remember the all star fiasco and then the Ignite fallout (conveniently realising that Kai hadn't finished high school pala before joining Ignite LOL, these past incidents don't go unnoticed.

Remember Kai was being presented to US NCAA schools in 2020 as eligible (finished high school in 2020) to be able to enter College in August 2020. Don't tell me that is not shady practice .. like what can we believe is true coming from their camp?

Wow. Just wow. No wonder they didn't even consider the NCAA route. He can't get to college without finishong highschool

This isn't just an agent problem. There's also problem with his parents who seem to pimp him to agents for the money

Wasn’t the plan was to finish HS in the US? that’s why they “paid” to get into TSF? looks like the reason he didn’t finish his stint at TSF was because they signed up with Ignite.

ewp want to cash in that quick, which was when "kaiju academy" is being "constructed" lol

Yes but Ignite is supposedly for high school graduates, (they even offer college classes for Ignite players) , kai entered Ignite in late 2020 (supposedly as a high school graduate) , then all of a sudden when this draft automatic eligibility rule was realized, Kai's camp suddenly had a change of information status that he hasn't graduated from high school yet ( so not 1 year removed from graduating in 2021) , basically it's highly dodgy , no one really knows what to believe anymore from their camp..

whoever will be the next Filipino "Unicorn" should do opposite of whatever Kai and his camp is doing.
