Its not an argument about whether PBA players are needed or not by Gilas for the 2023 World Cup but more on whether SBP is pushing for that idea (PBA reinforcements for Gilas) or not. Of course most of us here are under the impression that PBA likes the idea of reinforcing Gilas with its star/superstar players (As I've kept on saying, PBA wants to ride on the Gilas bandwagon) & SBP, in its desire to have a harmonious relationship with the PBA, is buying such idea.
You know how things are run in Phi basketball bro."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 -
The 2022 Jones Cup is another opportunity to tryout suitable PBA players for 2023 ..
So aside from.6 windows lots of opportunities to integrate and test if some players are suitableComment

It depends which SBP stakeholder you talk to, all stakeholder don't think the same, if you ask Al maybe some PBA governor associated to MVP, they will give the politically correct answer.. it's better to say they're still needed .Originally posted by JAMSKIE View Post
But from a purely FIBA basketball standpoint it doesn't really matter, whoever the coach thinks .forms the best team. (Not best 12 ). And that mean either with PBA or without PBA players.
Obviously if you have a Kiefer that has available time and is committed to Gilas and he performs , bakit hindi.
But if the PBA player is hugot , no matter how talented , I don't think that would fit
Here is the thing we can't determine and identify these players only in July 2023.. and do instant hugot like we did in 2011 FIBA AsiaComment

I think there would be a negotiation between SBP and PBA with regards to the amount of time that they could lend their players. I think I heard somewhere that Tab would require at least 1 month of full time training. I think PBA may agree to that and adjust their schedule as a show of their "supreme sacrifice" for the country....however, this would only apply for very important competitions like the World Cup...and not "Jones Cup".Originally posted by DAdmiral View Post
I think PBA will force at least 3-5 PBA players in Gilas for very important games. I think that's the likely case.Comment

Jones Cup is usually held during July or August, right? A time when PBA season is in full swing (based of the original PBA scheduling prior to the pandemic).Originally posted by DAdmiral View Post
That is why I strongly advocate for a change of PBA calendar which would set the PBA off season during the months of July, August & Sept. - period when FIBA tournaments & other international tourneys like Jones Cup are held."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 seriously doubt that PBA will adjust their schedule for Jones Cup...they will only adjust their schedule for Fiba Asia or Fiba World.......if Jones Cup is near to one of them, then maybe.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

This set up wouldn't be liked what happened to coach Toroman's Gilas-1 in 2011 in which PBA reinforcements RDO, Kelly Williams & Alapag joined the team at the "11th hour".
Now, imagine what would have happened if Gilas-1 with the PBA reinforcements had this kind of training set-up (as I stated above) in 2011 FIBA Asia Championship."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.

Realistically, SMB would want to put up a commercial showing their SMB players as the heroes of Gilas.....as such, they will impose at least some SMB players in Gilas.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View Post
They will push Paul Lee, Japeth and Junemar in GilasComment

they need to commit to at least 60 days practice even if it's the reigning mvp or 'mythical' team members. and even then they should not be guaranteed a slot and have to compete with the current poolComment

I agree with you...but asa pa tayo....SMB will be able to dictate their terms and the way a lot of these "lnowledgeable" coaches are saying...Gilas need players with experience.Originally posted by magic_chiongson View PostComment
