47th PBA Season (Philippine Cup, Commissioner’s Cup & Governor’s Cup)

To be honest his offense is not NBA level but his D, athleticism and length is. If he improves his 3 pt shooting he can still be a 3&D player in the NBA. Actually he is not the usual import you get in this cup. His shooting stroke is really inconsistent. But he is so long and athletic, nobody can block his mid range. But most important is his defense. JB cannot take over with him around. And with TNT also having tall and long players to matchup the other players GSM was stopped.

He's not that bad of a player and is probably better than most end of bench guys in the NBA. I like his fit better for our NT than Brownlee with our relatively tall wings now. But for sure he'll be a lot more expensive to naturalize. JB is getting up there in age and is probably tiers below other NPs except Japan.

JUST IN: PBA commissioner Willie Marcial says the league will investigate allegations that a Singaporean businessman bribe several players to fix games between 2017 to 2018.

Marcial deferred from making further comment but a Straits Times story bared that a certain Koa Wei Quan has been charged in Singapore for allegedly offering about $70,000 to fix games in the PBA and Thailand’s TBL.

SINGAPORE—A Singaporean has been accused of offering nearly $70,000 in bribes to fix the results of basketball games in Thailand and the Philippines.

Koa Wei Quan, who was handed 14 graft charges on Thursday in the State Courts in Singapore, is said to have tried to influence games played in the Philippines Basketball Association (PBA) and the Thailand Basketball League between April and July 2018.

The 32-year-old, who used to own transportation firm Koa Motor, had allegedly offered a bribe of US$5,000 (S$6,670) to one Ian Sanggalang on or around April 6, 2018.

The court heard that he worked with two others – Sergei Bien Orillo and Leonidez Zapata Avenido – to arrange for the Magnolia Hotshots to lose their match against the San Miguel Beermen by nine or more points in the PBA Philippine Cup Final Game 5.

Isn't $5000 too low?

[CoJ]

Isn't $5000 too low?

P250k for one game? hmm easy money anyway.. Though it feels that they (avenido and the singaporean) has something on Sanggalang, Vosotros and BWE

It wasnt reported that the bribe was accepted.

[CoJ]

Yeah but why would someone like Sanggalang risk it especially considering he's a Delta and SMC guy just for that small amount. I could understand if it's Avenido though.

Well, money still money... You can't deny that huge amount especially if they will promised you that they will not been exposed with that... Remember, Beasley, Bledseo and Blankley are big name NBA players but they still involved in game fixing in CBA... they have also big salary in China... But mafia and those gambling lords are lording over in these underground betting gambling in sports... They can kill you if they will not follow their want... That's why you should not involved in that shenigans...

Being a JMF/SMB fan I watched that series. Ian got a lot of leeway just so he could match-up with JMF. There is no way prime JMF could be stopped by Sanggalang unless the refs swallowed their whistle to allow him to mug JMF. The way I saw it, the Mags were never going to win if they made the calls fairly. Yes, Sanggalang had that weird game. But so what. They were never going to win it. If anything the calls were unfavorable to SMB just to make the series interesting.

there’s a video circulating in socmed which shows jalalon, belga and quinahan involved in a ligang labas game in Cebu that eventually end into a riot. The opposing team was composed of foreigners.

I started to despise Sangalang more because of that series. He acted like a fake tough guy and was playing to hurt Junemar. Dude acts tough when he is protected by the refs but plays scared in FIBA.

Sangalang never had the heart to play for flag & country. Napilitan lang yan maglaro during the few times he played for Gilas. And he hardly made any impact.

[CoJ]

someone compiled Sangalang’s TOs and bad plays during the alleged fixed game, you guys be the judge
