    I was watching ESPN and they showed the new Heat coach which to me looked like he was part Pinoy. So I decided to google his name and I found an interview of him from Balitang America. Now that we have a Fil-Am coach when are we getting a Fil-Am player to make the NBA. Heck, we've had Fil-Am players make the NFL and ben stars(Roman Gabriel and Teddy Bruschi to name a few)

    half pinoy nga yung bagong coach. his mother is from san pablo laguna.

    my barkada mentioned that he is a cousin of his child hood friend now based in the US. then i read it in the Phil Star and its true.

    i just hope they use the draft very wisely and bounce back from a very very bad season.

    believe me, if you're NBA material, the scouts will find you kahit nasa pinas ka, you don't need a fil-am coach to bring a Filipino to the NBA, sadly I don't see any pinoy good enough to make it to the highest level of basketball.

    Heck Bill Velasco was hyping Japet Aguilar how he was a very good defensive player and that he is in the 2nd unit, so i was hoping to see Japet Aquilar play some minutes for Western Kentucky... I didn't see him come off the bench even garbage minutes wala, go figure.
