June Mar is not used on playing against player taller and stronger than him. This should be his plan, play in CESAFI then after becoming the best bigman, next move is PBA then after becoming the best bigman in PBA, next move should be Chinese Basketball Association(there are rumors that many CBA teams are interested in Junemar) or play in NBA Summer League. But we all know that there is no such thing as real off season in PBA and his ballclub would prohibit him to play in NBA summer league.. -

They have different playstyles. But one thing common they share is they have the Mobility even if they are Playing as a BigComment

I can't recall Asi Taulava playing in those tournaments. 2003 ABC Men's Championship, we sent an all-amateur team with RDO & Garry David, if I'm mistaken. Then in the 2005 ABC, suspended tayo at that time.Originally posted by tomcat View Post"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.

After watching again the 94 Asian Games against Korea on Allan Caidic's youtube channel, Benjie would have been a good match up against Seo, Benjie's face up game and atlethicsm would have posed some problems on Seo laterallyOriginally posted by JAMSKIE View PostLast edited by hmbopbaduwap; 04-16-2021, 09:44 AM.Comment

Asi was a monster and at his best in 2002 Asian GamesOriginally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

I remember somebody said that we need another Benjie Paras to be an Asian champion.Originally posted by hmbopbaduwap View PostComment

I remember Sen. Freddie Webb comenting after the RP-Korea game that having Benjie Paras in that RP team would have made some difference. Those Korean bigs were quick & athletic. Benjie could have posed a good challenge against them. I think Codinera was just too slow for those Korean bigs & his offense wasn't good enough in that level. Marlou Aquino on the other hand was just young & raw at that time.Originally posted by hmbopbaduwap View Post"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.

I bet you have read that in Quinito Henson's column "Sporting Chance" where he quoted Sen. Freddie Webb saying that.Originally posted by alfrancis View Post"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.

Yup, specially in that game vs. Japan which was his best game in the tournament. I think Asi in 2007 & 2009 Asian Championships was a bit old already"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.

What I'm trying to say is Asi would be a monster if the PBA had send an all-pro team in the 2003 ABC Men's Championships and in 2005 if we had not been suspended by FIBA..Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

Ah ok. I very much agree with you on this. If how Asi Taulava played in the 2002 Asian Games is the gauge, then I believe Asi should have performed well for team Pilipinas if only an all-pro team played in the 2003 ABC Men's Championship & we were not suspended in the 2005 ABC Championship.Originally posted by tomcat View Post
I'm confident an all-pro team led by Taulava, Danny Seigle, Caguioa, Hontiveros, Alapag, Miller, Helterbrand, Renren Ritualo, would have finished a with a silver medal in 2005. I believe we were better than Lebanon (eventual silver medalist) by that time. South Korea was fragile at that time as their team was made up mostly of aging & washed up players. Iran & Jordan were not yet that strong in the mid-2000's."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.

2002 Asi Taulava was the best big man in Asia not named Yao Ming.sigpicComment

Korea'Seo Jang Hoon can contest Asi for that distinction. Also, I believe Wang Zhizhi was still very much at his prime during the early 2000's & could very much challenge Asi. In fact Wang dominated everybody during the 2006 Asian Games.Originally posted by live_evil View Post"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.
