    Exactly! The best we could probably hope for is a pure Filipino guard in the NBA.

    any nation of 100 million people is going to have 7 footers. even any poor nation of 100 million will have a large number of 7 footers.

    The only problem is finding ones that enjoy throwing an orange ball into red circles.

    To those who are against this, they allow a team to have one naturalize player if I remember it correctly.

    It probably depends, there's got to be different types of them.

    When i was living in San Francisco i went to a school that was 80% philipino and they were much closer to being asian then latino. Not that any of it matters anyways.

    i agree, espically with the influx of NBA players over there.

    and of course, those emerging prospects in 15 years will be half black :grin:

    Why do you guys keep this no-name coach instead of going after 2 Time NBA Champion Coach Erik Spoelstra? Spo is at least more Filipino than JaVale and Blatche.
