Naturalized player slash superhero Justin Brownlee – Positive!
In a press release issued late Thursday night, the ITA reported that "a sample collected from basketball player Justin Brownlee from the Philippines has returned an Adverse Analytical Finding for Carboxy-THC, a specified Prohibited Substance, according to the Prohibited List of the World Anti-Doping Agency".
Tito’s collective take on this controversial statement:
"The year ended by us taking the challenge of building a hastily-formed team of PBA players and we came home with the gold. The PBA is now the gold standard of basketball in the Philippines, that's what I think. But more importantly, we're the best in Asia for the next four years," said Vargas. (Source PBA.ph)
Napag-iiwanan na ba ang basketball technology sa Pilipinas?
“Masakit mang aminin, pero meron na tayong ganung factor na medyo iwan tayo sa Asia, - Yeng Guiao
Titos argued that “tayo” doesn’t mean the Philippines as a whole, but the PBA alone.
Titos discuss “Imports”
"We should never have a single import playing on a team." – Tab Baldwin 2020
Tito Thayil suggests we change the “label”, Tito Magnito argues that we should blame the US Dollar exchange rate.
The role of the naturalized player in the NT
It’s part of the system, even US, Spain and other stronger basketball nations naturalize.Impact of foreign-trained athletes in improving the National Team.
Reminisced how Kobe Bryant elevated the “discipline” of the US Redeem Team.
Titos discuss the “drafting”
Drafting takes place once a year. It is a chance for teams to take on new players who haven't ever played in the league before.
Moro-moro drafting in the PBA, defeats the original purpose of the “draft”.
What if tanggalin na lang ang Draft sa PBA? Direct market na lang.
We took time to appreciate “Filbasket” of Jai Reyes and the idea of adding teams, regardless of it is a farm team or not, to accommodate the surplus of basketball players in PH.
