Or just they will encourage him to stay for their national team for quite a while for residency to have a chance to be a local player in the future… they can tap him anyway in non fiba tournaments such as Arab games, Gulf games and especially Asian games… they can use him to play first in their 3x3 team since eligibility there is very relax than 5x5 rules… And with Dubai will join Euroleague next year, they might tap him too in their line up… this is the only possibility that I see if in case Quiambao will accept that rumored offer… -
I dont think any sports body could stop KQ from taking that offer from UAE. We already have seen it before in Wesley So, Yuka Saso and Jaja Santiago. And besides that offered amount (rumored to be 500k to 1mil USD) is life changing money.お元気ですか？Comment

The Secretary General of FIBA can reject any application of nationality switching, Id think he would since the reason is financial and KQ's basketball heritage is pure pinoy.Originally posted by r1ck View PostComment

although its in youtube, i havent watched any full game yet. but based on highlights, Heading seems to have a good tournament so far. Mamai and Escandor has their moments as well. how is Balti faring? he is usually not an option in the offense last few times he played international ball, but if he able to defend opposing wings\bigs? able to rebound or atleast box them out?WE DON'T COUNT YEARS, WE COUNT CENTURIES

I think Balti is not getting enough mins. & opportunities to score as he is playing the same position as the imports - Howard, Robertson & Blatche. And we all know the caliber of those players, they are all NBA-caliber bigs despite Howard being old now & Blatche both old & overweight.Originally posted by C2Hamm View Post
Also, Kevin Quiambao who plays both the 3 & 4 spots is playing like a world import so its really hard for Balti to earn some playing time.
While everybody is talking about Quiambao, I think Jordan Heading is showing some good performance especially in this win over Tripolli-Libya a few hours ago. Heading perhaps played his best game so far in this tournament in this win over the Libyan team.
I say Heading should be playing for Gilas in the coming 1st window of the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup qualifiers. He is proving that he deserves to be in the national team with the way he is playing in Dubai."A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. Remember that howsoever you are played or by whom, your soul is in your keeping alone, even though those who presume to play you be kings or men of power, when you stand before God, you cannot say, 'But I was told by others to do thus,' or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice." - King Baldwin IVComment

I have always said Heading should be our top SG. He is not only a good 3 pt shooter, he is a decent all around guard. Decent ball handler and passer. Decent defender.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View Post
As for Balti, his defense is there but his 3 pt shot is being exposed. He has good looks but he simply doesnt make it. Balti is more of a finesse PF. He needs to go to the gym and practice his 3s. Against bigger and taller guys its hard for him score on the half court. He will be open at the 3 but he needs to make it.
KQ usually plays SF or SG. His handles are not that smooth. But decent enough when combined with his shooting and passing. I thought it was impossible but KQs shooting has surpassed his passing. This actually validates the UAAPs level of competition. By defeating all the good FSAs in UAAP and winning both the championship and MVP and yes playing like at times like an import in a club tourney, this shows that the level of comp in the UAAP is really up there. And maybe even better as an international game indicator than the PBA.Comment

They still didn’t remember the smart gilas batch of Chris Tiu when they joined PBA as guest team.. they have already advantage over PBA teams because since PBA that time allowed Douthit, a 6’10 big man, to join to be their “import” with only 6’5 height limit conference that time.. even with douthit, Gilas didn’t win the title…Originally posted by ja.he View PostComment

That’s normal in sports… the fans are having fun in Dubai..Originally posted by ARMIR View Post
off topic:
Will this SGA squad can win EASL title this season if they allowed to join? EASL allowed 2 World imports and 1 Asian import / naturalized players… currently SGA has 3 World imports, As Blatche, I will consider him as naturalized player spot… So only 2 between Howard, Robertson and Moore will allowed to suit up (I think Moore will be odd man out there) plus local guys such as Heading, Quiambao, Baltazar, Cagulangan, etc… can they win at all against teams in Japan, Korea , Taiwan (and even China)?Comment
