Hypotheticals don't matter. They won't appear in FIBA records, in history, or Wikipedia.
Japan might go down 0-3 like Tokyo 2020. Same thing, their 'achievement' will soon be forgotten. But the progress they made will only make them better and they will probably get those podium finishes you folks demand of them to prove they are better than us.
Anyone can claim any team is better than any team. But you attack anyone who doesn't agree with your claims like you are the God of all basketball knowledge. Why should everyone take your word if you say Slovenia is better than Japan and can beat Japan? Sino ka ba?

Japan where Basketball is a Top 3 or Top 4 sport at most, where they only became serious in the last 5 to 7 years.
Guam on the other hand, being a US territory has always been high on basketball.
Japan are underdogs in their own right. But instead of appreciating how they almost beat France on their homecourt with Wemby (Was Wemby there when Lebanon played them?) on the biggest sporting stage, you just brushed it like any other loss.

First of all, Yuta Tabuse was shit who just happened to accept the grind of trying to make the NBA. I'll go back as far as Minamiyama who was shit. Their best player for ages was Michael Dorsey (Mikaeru Takahashi) and he looked like a shit version of what our 2000's Fil-Shams were, except he was legitimately Japanese-American.
Orimo? Pwede na. Ditto with one of the Takeuchi brothers (lampa yung isa), Iragashi, and Heijima who's still playing. It's crazy that even Taipei had a stronger squad than Japan in the late 2000's.
We haven't even seen much of Yudai Baba even though he had moments in the G-League. Baba and Kawamura are 100% B.League homegrown. No half-American blood, no AAU experience, no US NCAA D1 time, they just did what Euro NBA players do in the B.League starting their pro careers early.
Unless people make the argument that Ramos having the PBA career of Joshua Munzon and Sotto playing for TNT will make Gilas better, I don't blame some people for sucking Japanese dick lately.
God this thread is turning to 2018-2020 Kai Sotto threads

But were going on a right direction(hopefully) lately. Hating or being hypocritical towards other countries wont improve our status internationally. We must/should even be proud of what our neighbor country has been doing, atleast we know that asian countries can compete against the best of the best when it comes to basketball, and hopefully we can also continue our progress

Pinoys often have trouble being objective about anything, Japan did a lot of things right and they're sowing the results and France is fr very overrated. It becomes a thug of war between cucks and haters
4 of the last 5 editions of EuroBasket.
2 of the last 4 editions of the World Cup.
A silver medal finish in the 2022 Olympics.
I cannot say that they are overrated with those accolades. There is something wrong inside their federation I guess.Attack

Well, Gilas could have been that team had they completed their assignment. We could have gotten Dom Rep and Angola along with China had Chot and his staff did their homework. This is the reason why people really hated Chot - we already had the chance to do it at home but we did not. And the first mortal sin that SBP did was to place Chot back in the head coaching job.

Don't really know where you think you're going with all the fence sitting. Yes it's weirdo activities to pointlessly pull Japan's leg like what robert is doing but it's also true that Wembanyama has to rely on the whistles to beat an asian team with no real centers in ot, remember the guy was being compared to Lebron and KD, neither would go to ot with Japan in a million years.
