Why the Philippines Should Take a Closer Look at Euro-Ball
Transition to Euro-ball. Watch the Euro League play. Play team defense. Help defense. Think team. That is the only way we can compete in the much bigger, bulkier, badder international basketball community.
The Philippines Surprises, Annexes the Asian Games Basketball Crown!!!
Unbelievable!!! Team Philippines took arguably the most coveted and the most prestigious medal of all in the ongoing 19th Asian Games in China – the
Germany Takes the World Basketball Crown!!!
Basketball is a team game. It is not a game of individual talents, but of how these individual talents contribute to a whole. Germany’s ascension as basketball’s world champions is a clear lesson in team chemistry, cohesion, discipline and more. Indeed, it is a most beautiful team game.
Who You Got for the FIBA World Cup 2023?
The FIBA World Cup has just begun. It is a fantastic spectacle to watch personally. With the 38 thousand fans breaking the record in the opening games, we foresee a full-house and a house on fire come the finals. To everyone, let’s enjoy the games. To our kababayans, let’s support this national event. Let’s showcase the hospitality we have been known for. Let’s show the world our love or this beautiful sport. Come and watch. Ang hindi manonood, pangit!!! 😦
Thanks for the Fond Memories, Filipinas!
Of course, as always, there were bashers as well, as some people still could not accept non-Philippine residents as members of the team. Truth to tell, majority of the players are based in foreign soil, mostly from the US of A. But that being said, that doesn’t make them any less Filipina if they’re part of the Philippine diaspora. Many of our kababayans may have left the country for better opportunities abroad, but you can still see their sense of identity and pride to be Pinoys. Do we disqualify them – or their kids – for wanting to find better opportunities elsewhere and yet still have the heart of a Filipino? These young ladies worked hard; put in their blood, sweat and tears to improve their craft; even spent their own money to organize and join Philippine football activities in far-off places. These ladies sacrificed much of their time, and worked hard to get where they are right now. They deserve a chance to play. And to make our country proud.
