I actually understand Tiongson's decision and in fact more players to me should retire early, the standard and income potential isn't really wise to bank on long term.

Originally posted by mangangalakal View Postthat's true in the US but in the PH situation basketball is literally the only life for most players.. this is partly the reason why players want to play for SMC b/c ECJ is generous with post retirement packages.. e.g. he gave Danny I a hog farm. essentially the best move financially for most players in the PH is to play until their legs give out
It's one reason some have opted to just play for the B team but of a prestigious academically college over A team of other collegesNBTC- Team New Zealand - Camp David: vision "To provide a basketball Pathway for Filipino Kids in NZ while building men of character and leadership.
