Yeah, Ahmad Ibrahim as well. To think that just 7 years ago he was considered to be the successor to Lolo Fadi while Arakji was a rookie PG who looks and plays like Goran Dragic. Now, Lebanon is basically Arakji's team and Ibrahim is nowhere to be found.Originally posted by gideon -
On another note, can't help but feel for Thailand. Forced to bear the brunt of the bubble, forced to bring just 10 men. Tough outing. Hope they can bounce back.
They do have a good prospect in Jakrawan, though. Bright future for them.Comment

As mentioned by a previous comment, wala kasing mahihita sa kanila ang FIBA eh. Thailand is just not that into basketball, they are more into football and volleyball. Meanwhile, basketball in Indonesia is getting more popular and that's why FIBA is thinking of tapping into that market.Originally posted by IPC View Post
But who knows, if their NT with Jakrawan and Lamb becomes more successful then their basketball scene might more popular like how football became popular in the Philippines for a few years when the Azkals performed The Miracle in Hanoi back in 2010.Originally posted by gideonComment

Looks like Groups B, C, and F will be playing 4-5 games in the next window with China playing 6 because they haven't played any in this qualifiers.Originally posted by gideonComment

That's where we can catch Korea, when they're tired playing so many games in such a short period of time.Originally posted by robert0326Originally posted by gideonComment

Some of his passes were almost turnovers but you can see he can pass though, but it’s also been said already but he needs to work on his handles, he almost loses the ball multiple timesComment

Shot well in both games, I don’t know if he can play defense though, he kind of moves and runs like CStandComment

If you recall, in 2013 Korea played Qatar at 10:30 pm then played Gilas at 8pm the next night. I recall some fans were like PH as the hosts scheduled Korea's QF match that late on purpose because they know a semis matchup with them is inevitable, but I personally did not know that at the time, I was like it's just a scheduling quirk and Korea can still ball regardless of schedule anyway.Originally posted by ARMIR View Post
I am not saying they lost back then because they only had ~18 hours of rest because KOR/PHI was a close game of runs, I am just saying playing 4 games in 5 days might have some effect on the Koreans that we can capitalize but it is not a guarantee that we will beat them even if they are that tired.Originally posted by gideonComment

Yeah, that dribbling fumble that Oftana committed in the 2nd half could be a result of the long lay-offOriginally posted by NOiNU View PostLast edited by JAMSKIE; 11-30-2020, 09:17 PM."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.

Here's my take about Iran: without Hadadi & Bahrami who are expected to retire from the NT soon, Iran wouldn't the same strong team in Asian basketball that it is in the last 13 years or so. This is not to say that Iran would just be in the same level as the lower tier Asian teams like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Palestine, Bahrain, Iraq, etc. I say Iran would still be a good contender for the top 8 Asian teams (I won't include Australia & New Zealand here. Just purely Asian teams).Originally posted by zairex View Post
Hadadi's value with Iran is so significant becoz he anchors Iran in both offense & defense. His impact on the team is both offense & defense.
Bahrami is also the other half of Iran's 1-2 punch & is probably among the best wingman in Asian basketball of all time. But I think Iran could produce somebody who would somehow succeed Bahrami. The same could not be said about Hadadi as it is very hard to develop a 7-footer as highly skilled as Hadadi."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.

Thailand Basketball League (TBL) are reporting that the Japanese
@B_LEAGUE
reached out feelers for potential Asian Imports from Thailand in which TBL responded by sending in the portfolios of
Chantip Jakrawan
Nattakarn Muangboon
Nakorn Jaisanook
Source: tk’s twitter post last dec 2019.
No idea what happened as there’s no feedback but chanatip has the more potential talent among the players mentioned.sigpicComment

it goes to show that some posters here doesn't want these bigs (Carino, Go and Balti) to get humiliated by much stronger players (jakwaran or even teereewat) coming from team Gilas always beaten every SEA games. They even want to bring kai and edu in that "what-if", "Should have" situation just to show that Gilas could stop that thai guy. lolOriginally posted by ja.he View PostsigpicComment

Agree bro. In as much as the coaching staff envisions Kobe to play as a 4 & as a role player who will concentrate on defense, rebounding & hustle, Kobe still needs to polish his offense. A skills coach would definitely help.Originally posted by spidey102279
The thing is, Kobe has been a scorer since high school & college. Converting Kobe into a purely role player without giving him some leeway to score even a few buckets is like forcing Manny Pacquiao to fight like a Floyd Mayweather. Even if you're playing as a role player, iba pa rin ang feeling if you can score a few buckets from time to time. Mas gaganahan ka mag rebound, mag depensa or mag hustle if you score even some token field goals. Getting 2, 3 or 4 field goals in say 25 mins. of burn while focusing on defense & rebounding would be a good motivation for Kobe playing as a 4.
That is why he really needs to polish his offense."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.
