I wonder what the next innovation in the PBA in its desperate attempt to draw fan interest? Half court shot will counted as 6 pts? Or maybe they will lower the ring from 10 feet to only 9 feet so that everybody can dunk thereby making the game more exciting."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 IV

seriously thought, pba needs to reach the mainstream fans like how patrimonio and paras did (while jawo attracted the everyman).

for mer personally, I had no negative reactions on that proposed 4-point area.
if we read the history of the 3-point area, many people during those early times also had some nega reactions on it...."what the hell is the purpose of that curve line anyway".
I've already mentioned it before and I won't let it go until kingdom come.
the PBA should really tweak it's eligibility rules to allow AK34 to play in the league considering he is literally a product of Philippine Education and Basketball Development since his teenage years.
the In-Season tournament should be a welcome development considering the league was also sending teams in some regional leagues with 2 imports and scrap all together that 3 conference format instead.

We still need 3-men (Navarro, Malonzo, Gabe, Oftana, Arvin), 4-men (Balti, Tamayo, Mason, BGR), and 5-men (June Mar, Kai, AJ) with international size at club level (although most likely 5 will have to be filled by foreigners), we still need to work on closing out on shooters, we need to rotate quicker, we need to better execute and defend PnR's. Even executing zones, e. Sometimes, the zone is too static, rotations are too slow. If the concerns on just getting into 4-point shootouts turn out to be valid, the issues I mentioned here might be neglected except for maybe rotating to the perimeter, and it might hurt us internationally as a result, since some key players are already playing or will play in the PBA, they'll get used to a different ruleset and court dimensions.
But realistically, for now, I don't think anyone other than Lee and maybe Bolick can hit even 25% from 4-point range. So maybe most games defenses will still defend up to the 3-point line.

The fuss is generating the excitement and anticipation that the PBA precisely had in mind.
Ogie Narvasa is the one who proposed it. The Narvasa is ruining the league""failure is not the end but just the beginning of a victorious journey..just keep on dreaming and we will be back on the olympics''''

for now, I will consider that propose 27 foot(?) line as a flower vase, a display.
the most pressing issue like I mentioned awhile ago should be re-consider and additionally the ff:
- the PBA 3x3 program for men and women should be revive ASAP, enough of those childhood spat(?) with Mr. Rico Mascarinas's Chooks 3x3 it is already disbanded and the last time I've heard he is retiring soon.
- the PBA should spearhead for that very first 5x5 Womens Professional League in collaboration with SBP because it's really about time to establish it.
- the annual Batang PBA should be align to the Jr. MPBL as part of it's grassroot campaign
it's an open secret that the PBA is also the de-facto SBP as well.
it's very obvious.
