My Kikay.

Snow was merely giving a clue that it was mikey "myki". The kay in kikay was just to complete the word/phrase. Nadamay pa si kai... wahehe.

Snow Badua is a certified “marites”… the reason why he has so many enemies inside basketball world…

[Giannis34GOD]

don't be naive, who among the gilas players have a history of asking for unreasonable pay? who between kai and jp erram will ask for the moon? who between mikey williams and chris banchero will ask for the moon? ahahahaha

B league players are not available in the first place.. tell me the reason why Kai? Did you see any b league players in Asian games?

The manager would react teh same because for what he ehard in basketball circles it was the norm it was just some one who will spill it up make it bad for him..thats why smc is reluctant to handle this Gilas team how can they handle the clarksons and kai sotto's(wassermans) in the future

well it all depends on what chua and ctc needs. if they deemed they needed sotto and jc, i think they will shell out the money provided everyone gets paid as well. but then again, due to the selflessness of the golden team, it think they will have a hefty payout from RSA and MVP combined.

[reamily]

based on the press con. SBP was willing to pay, but chua and ctc said no. reason being is that all the other players never asked for an amount and it will affect the morale of the team. which i think it makes sense.

I think they will patch things up and Mikey prime years will still be spent in tnt or in Gen San Warriors team as he is pacman boy. Thus is just an unpopular move by vargas that the new Gilas will not shell out huge money just to get guys play for nt..the players management just do its diligence they couldve been more patient and discreet unluckily there is a stooge that you cant trust that can throw you under the bus whenever he wanted to..why whine on it now when were winning why not divulge how really much we pay to get our foreign based players pay..

If indeed that it was Mikey Williams that Vargas is throwing under the bus then we can expect him not to win any major awards in the PBA. Heck once his contract is up with TNT he most likely wont resign with the MVP group and might jump ship to the SMC group or even leave the country and play else where

Mikey Williams, Bolick, Balti are my guesses regarding that.
Ankapal ng mukha nung hihingi ng mataas na TF. Trans: Screw the guy asking for the moon

Kai and Most B-leaguers are unlikely the offenders. They aren't available anyway

Bolick is playing in the B league bro so I doubt its him and also the SBP blacklisted Berto he wasnt even included in the WC pool.

Wow!!! now I am seeing in social media that some people are ok and fine and think there is nothing wrong with players being paid to play for their national team! Wow!!!!

I mean, yes players should be given athlete's allowance and some form of insurance for their play.. but to flat out ask an exorbitant amount is just wrong especially if it is masked by so called "love for the country"..

now I understand why Alfrancis Chua even before the Asian Games was telling media that the players chosen didn't ask for anything.. I think those 2 players triggered him.. it is just Ricky Vargas who just had the balls to stir the pot and tell the story..

Also, from the press conference, I noticed that it was Ricky Vargas who called the specific players and not Alfrancis Chua.. this means they come from the MVP group.. so Mikey Williams yes.. another player from the MVP camp.. it is not Kai Sotto for sure.. alam naman na ng lahat he was paid for the World Cup appearance.. what's new.. so this is a different player coming from the MVP camp.. not Balti as Tim Cone said he will not choose him from the very first conference.. so another fil-am for sure from the MVP Camp..

OR and I think this is the answer - schonny winston - he is part of the 37 player list...

we all know his drama with la salle..

Or can be Remy Martin. was part of the list..

[thatweirdguy]

Chualay is more open to tap foreign players and he didnt attack those players and praise the PBA players who played for AG

Meanwhile vargas attacks foreign players..

you can tell who is toxic between the 2

Well both are toxic IMO but LH knows how to win and how to keep on winning..

The other guy is clueless and doesn't know when to shut up

Only saw the 4th Q,

how did Newsome defend RHJ so well?

There's a reason RHJ despite all his talents is out of the nba.

Newsome was smart enough to figure out what nba defenders were doing to RHJ...capitalize on his shaky shooting, especially from deep. Not just him though, team defense was focused on that.

[sroth3839]

RHJ was cold all game and Newsome kept daring him to shoot. Not particularly great defense, but he gets credit for trying to take away dribble penetration.

So basically RHJ becoming Kobrick. Got it.
