kaya natin yan. nguso!Olympian Mariano tells Gilas to continue playing with heart and determination
MORE than talent, heart and determination could play major factors in Gilas Pilipinas’ bid in the Fiba-World Cup in Spain where it will wage war in a group that includes basketball powers Argentina, Greece, and Croatia.
Former Olympian Jimmy Mariano said despite the herculean task awaiting the Nationals of winning at least two of their games in Group B to have a shot at advancing in the second round, he was quick to remind the team coached by Chot Reyes to fight for country with pride and dignity.
They Said It!
“Ibang klase ang pakiramdam na makalaro sa world (Fiba-World Cup) at alam ko iba rin ang mararamdaman ng mga (Gilas Pilipinas) players natin dahil nga world na iyan." - Former Olympian Jimmy Mariano
“Mabibigat ang makakalaban natin dun sa world kaya kailangang samahan natin ang paglalaro ng puso at determinasyon,” the lanky, 6-foot-4 Mariano shared to Spin.ph after learning of Gilas’ draw in the August 30 to September 14 showpiece.
“Anong malay natin makatatlong panalo pa tayo?” added the Filipino cage legend, who supported Gilas personally by watching the team at the Mall of Asia Arena during its Fiba-Asia Men’s Championship campaign last year.

I see no problem with only one(1) naturalized player eligible for a team. If two or more dyan na ako hindi payag.Mon Fernandez sees no need for naturalized players
MANILA, Philippines – Hiring NBA players for the national team might do more harm than good to Philippine basketball, according to PBA legend Ramon Fernandez.
In an interview with Spin.ph’s Snow Badua, the retired PBA star said the acquisition of NBA players Javale McGee and Andray Blatche could rob local cagers of opportunities to flourish in the international stage.
"Mawawalan lang ng opportunity ang mga kababayan natin dyan," said “El Presidente.” "'Yung experience na ma-gain ng kababayan natin sa mga international tournaments like the world championships, 'yun ang mas importante sa akin!"
Fernandez stressed that the Philippines actually has a surplus of cagers. Some of them, he said, are big and tall enough to compete against their foreign counterparts.
“Meron na tayong malalaking players, meron na tayong 6-foot-4 at 6-foot-5 na point guard … 6-foot-7 at 6-foot-8 na forward, tapos mayroon pa tayong June Mar Fajardo at Greg Slaughter,” he said.
The 60-year-old Leyte native is one of the most highly decorated players ever to suit up in Asia's first play-forpay league.
Aside from winning the Most Valuable Player award four times, Fernandez was a frequent member of the PBA Mythical First team from 1976 to 1992. He was also named among the PBA's 25 Greatest Players.
Fernandez also experienced playing against the world's best as a member of the Philippine national team that competed in the 1974 FIBA Worlds.
Fernandez said that instead of trying to beat the world’s top basketball teams, he said it is more important to establish the country’s standing in the Asian level.
“Ambisyunin na lang natin ang Asia, it’s even hard at it is. Asia pa lang mabigat ng battleground sa akin. 'Pag nag-qualify tayo sa world at Olympics, that’s already a bonus,” he said.
“Si Marcus Douthit lang okay na 'yan. Or after Douthit, okay lang mag-naturalize ng iba … pero sa akin nga, kahit hindi na. Ang ambisyunin lang natin Asia. 'Wag na yung world stage,” added Fernandez.

Paul Lee, Dillinger, Lassiter beef up Gilas Pilipinas as Reyes bares 17-man pool | PBA | SPIN.PH
MEMBERS of the Gilas Pilipinas team that finished runner-up in last year’s FIBA-Asia Men’s Championship along with three new faces have been named as part of the 16-man pool that comprises the national team for the FIBA-World Cup in Spain and possibly, the Asian Games in Incheon, Korea.
Coach Chot Reyes included in the pool the 12 players who suited up in the qualifier of the world basketball championship held here last August, namely, Jimmy Alapag, LA Tenorio, Jayson Castro, Larry Fonacier, Jeff Chan, Gabe Norwood, Gary David, Ranidel Ocampo, Marc Pingris, Japeth Aguilar, Junemar Fajardo and naturalized player Marcus Douthit.
Beau Belga and Greg Slaughter, the last two players cut before the FIBA-Asia meet, were also named in the pool along with newcomers Marcio Lassiter, Jared Dillinger, and Paul Lee.
Andre Blatche of the Brooklyn Nets is the other naturalized player in the pool, although his stint in the national team remains pending as he awaits the approval of Congress with regards to his naturalization papers.
Yup kasama nga si Jared. IMHO okay din yan, pinatunayan niya ths conference na puwede siya playmaker of sorts. Hindi consistent outside shot but may time pa naman to develop that. Gusto ko yun kasi medyo malaki siya eh, hindi tagilid na bantayan mga PG nang EU. Maliit na masyado si LA, JA imho eh. JC mababa pero malaki naman kasi katawan. Puwedeng defensive PG na pass first, shoot last option siya imho. Same with Marcio. Tingin ko lang naman.
kung ako papipiliin etong 12 kukunin ko:
1. JuneMar
2. Pingris
3. Japeth
4. De Ocampo
5. Fonacier
6. Dilinger
7. Chan
8. Norwood
9. Lassiter
10. Castro
11. Paul Lee
12. Naturalized
Ayan nandyan na si Slaughter. Pero bakit si Paul Lee and Lassiter?? sana si coffee king na lang isama sa roster.
Nice one sir qwerty.
Kung puwede 13 players dalhin, sana si LA na yun. Pero kung 12 lang, mas gusto ko si LA kesa kay Paul Lee kasi mas sanay na sa liga na ganyan si LA.
