Philippines National Team 2014

[gabepizza]

As of now. Spain tries every year to change the rule. They petition FIBA every year with extremely hard legal cases. They are doing it again this year.

And USA always supports the idea also.

So it is never out of the question it might change to 2 players, because those 2 want it to be 2 players. Just like it used to be when USA first implemented that rule and had it for so many years.

Even though most countries I think hate even allowing even 1.

The USA supports the idea? Funny since they haven't used a nationalized player since Hakeem Olajuwan in 1996.
Anyway I hate it too. If too many nationalized players are allowed then national teams become no more than clubs teams and then what's the point?

Yes, USA supports it. They never wanted it to change from 2 to 1.

Should? Should? Should be able to beat Senegal?

Do you EVER STOP?

Senegal has a very athletic team and they play hard, crash the boards, and play tough defense. It would be a colossal upset if they beat Senegal.

Of course it could happen, but to say they SHOULD beat Senegal is just yet another example of how insanely out of control your trolling is.

Senegal would have won the FIBA Americas tournament last summer.

Stop it. Just freaking STOP IT.

Hey euroleague, I really do believe that the philippines team will beat senegal (very good chance at least). This is not trolling. I think many guys overestimate the fiba african quality of play compared to fiba asia since there's the conception that they are black guys after all and bball is a black guy sport.

In fact, i've done some research and found out Egypt (Came in 2nd in Afrobasket) had lost both to Iran (1st in Fiba Asia) and South Korea (3rd in Fiba asia) in the 2013 jones cup.

Results:
South Korea 80 - 63 Egypt
Iran 90 - 56 Egypt

Egypt's is about the same strength as Senegal, if they can't beat south korea they definitely can't beat Philippines.

Jordan Clarkson is really a Filipino and is set to be picked this year in the 2014 nba draft.. I wonder if he will embrace his Filipino roots.

jordan clarkson (missouri) drafted by the lakers (46th pick). he's half filipino and scrimmaged with the national team but i don't think he's eligible to play as a local anymore

[veilside23]

has jordan clarkson embraced his filipino roots ? can anyone confirm it ?

[Lebron23]

He don't have a Philippine passport. and besides the SG position is still stacked.

[veilside23]

i think parks can actually play that role as well... kinda interesting because the only position we lack to contend is the pf and C post.
