Filipino Players in Foreign Leagues

[paolylo]

Ah ok, so for you, the less or the seldom a poster here posts, the more mentaly matured he is? I can't help but shake my head bro.

Bro, I think its better that you rarely posts here becoz for sure such mentality & attitude of yours is going trigger a lot of heated discussions here. You'll only add toxicity to this forum bro

Was I the one who tells people to do their research and math?

I get it, IBN isn't the same as it was 10 or maybe 7 years ago with more of these trolls and their bad English. I just didn't expect the kind of toxicity that you brought to me first for something that had absolutely nothing to do with the thread (wasn't this the nut hugger thread merged, deleted, and restarted?) or the main point (you basically implying that Australia and Japan can send their better players because their pro leagues aligned with FIBA... and you were curious how many other countries have the similar schedules).

My thing was, there's no point of comparing schedules because pro leagues, regardless of how many of them exist, have different structures, motives, and even talent levels so if your issue is that you're just happy that Kai will be in a league that won't have to do crap like a special draft (what about the Gilas vets and teams not allowing them)... that's great. Would you tell me to do my research (and math) to my face if we were in a sports bar having a back and forth while watching a game instead of behind a monitor? Definitely not. Only nerds do that.

Alright, pardon me for telling you to do research. It was sarcastic on my part saying that. I just find lang kasi with what you said that there's not a lot of professional basketball in the world, as something absurd.

I would have told you to fuck off had you said anything different. Pero para sa'yo i-gogoogle ka yan if I just had more time.

Cheers.

BTW, speaking of the clamor for the PBA to syncronize its calendar with FIBA competitions, this was done in the mid-2000's under then PBA commisioner Noli Eala. I remember PBA back then was reduced to a 2-conference per season format while having its off season during the months of July, August & September. But as soon as Eala was forced to resign as PBA commissioner, balik na naman sa dating schedule ang PBA & was back again to a 3-conference format.

Here's my take: PBA had been wanting & still wants to have anything to do with the national team representation for FIBA tournaments. It still wants to ride with the Gilas bandwagon, but PBA is not willing to make enough sacrifice to send a well prepared National team for FIBA tourneys. But to its credit, nag sacrifice rin naman yung PBA for the national team's sake several times. The last was in preparing for the 2016 OQT.

ur not giving enough credit.since the qualifying games by window started, the pba halted games/have extended break every window. ditto for d 2019 wordl cup. ngaun lang naman hindi kasi d pba season was in the bubble (or preparing for one) and sbp has d gilas pros at their disposal.

What about the 2019 FIBA World Cup Gilas team disaster as our team was given only about 2 weeks of training?

Bro, I've already commended in my past posts the PBA for its sacrifice during the 1998 & 2002 Asian Games bound RP teams, then the RP-san miguel team in the mid-2000's, and the Gilas 2 & 3 exploits from 2012 to 2016. Those were well prepared RP teams which was made possible becoz of the sacrifices by the PBA.

Besides weight and height increase, has anything changed in how Sam Froling plays?

Because if not, then I'm positive Kai will do well in the NBL. Like 10 pts 7 rebs per 30 mins kind of well.

d 2019 WC was a disaster for many reasons. the lack of full-time practice and preparation was least of d factors.

all pba-rp teams stints in major tourneys were disasters actually except for 1990 (acceptable given the cramming, yan ang talagang weeks lang ang prep), 1994 (not enough talent), 2013 (successful), 2014 WC (competitive and won a game), and 2015 (partly successful).

I think as long as CYG is in the helm, medyo malas ang NT sa mga major tournaments.

Idk about Froling’s improvement, but Kai might need an injury to one of the starting bigs to have a pathway to significant minutes. I am optimistic he can achieve, even surpass, those stats if given 30mpg of playing time.

I agree wholeheartedly.

NBL Australia (Research)

1. There are currently 9 teams in the league. But 1 expansion team will be added the very next season. Making it 10 teams.

2. There are 28 regular season games each season. 14 home games and 14 away games.

3. Top 4 teams will advance to the semifinals.
First and Second Seed will have homecourt advantage in a best of 3 series. Then the winner of both series will face in the finals in a best of 5 series.

4. Usually, the regular season starts in early October and end in Mid February.

5. Usually, a team will have 2 American Imports.

6. Next Stars Program allows Nbl Teams to sign an overseas nba draft prospect. (Lamelo Ball, Rj Hampton)

7.Special Restricted Player Program allows Nbl teams to sign asian players as local.

Is this right Silent Killer????

Wow. Their Format is awesome. More games. But rarely conflicts with Fiba.

teams can have 3 imports. adelaide has crocker, brandon paul and pinder as imports..

[Trae Yong]

A PBA apologist I see...Oh well probably a long hair dumb-ass supporter. Ahahahahahha

alpob > than all senior execs from the mvp group combined

they are willing but they are finding it hard to get quality imports,hence they usually have games during offseason of those leagues. imports will prioritize other leagues first than the pba mainly because of the import salary cap

[ARMIR]

If the PBA is going to expand,that means more regular games,why not just go to 2 conference,with the second conference an invitational one year and the next year one import conference and on the off season they can adjust that too.I would rather have an invitational every year,so that fans can actually gauge their favorite teams and players skills against international competition.
