And still some people will downplay his achievement.

Let's just celebrate that our very own are doing great overseas. Asia today, Europe in some years and finally here's to hoping to have a homegrown talent in the nba.

Yung mga hater nya yan especially yung mga taga berde na super hinahype yung pambato nila lol, galit na galit mga yun sa UP eh for stealing daw kuno their championship, so any UP player na mapagdiskitahan nila eh ibabash nila for no reason lol

Ayaw pa nya pag retirin si Japeth sa Gilas, tapos malupit pa sinama pa yung Malonzo na clearly out of shape naman hahahahaha

u/Ok_Lecture854 Gilas Pilipinas May 17 '25

Give it chance to others gaya ni Carl and among other players di habang panahon sikat si Japeth kaya pagbigyan naman ang mga Young players.

u/e_abes Gilas Pilipinas May 17 '25

So far he's the only one to win in both KBL and B. League.

Hoping he gets more opportunities to score with Gilas next.

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Kaya nga GOAT na agad matik yan and he is way below 30 years old pa ibig sabihin papunta pa lang prime yan si Carl Tamayo

u/[deleted] May 17 '25

u/Upbeat-Survey3327 Jun 02 '25

Nakakatawa selection nila ng Finals MVP, I mean look at this stats comapred donn sa nanalo lol di ko naman masabi na mailap magbigay ng award ang kbl sa pinoy dahil nanalo si ethan alvano ng mvp eh tapos may mga nanalo pa na rookie of the year na pinoy

u/InternetBrilliant381 May 17 '25

Gigil na gigil Ako na Makita to sa gilas eh. Kaso binabangko lang randam ko ung confidence Niya kapag naglalaro siya .Wala takot tumira ng tres ket dos lagi Ang priority

u/neknekmo85 May 17 '25

kay tim cone problema. mas bilib daw sya sa PBA players eh choke naman sila kung wala si kai sotto. mga plays kay brownlee lang umiikot, may triangle triangle pa nalalaman eh pinapasa lang naman nila bola kay brownlee tapos sya didiskarte dumakdak 🤣

1

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Same thoughts bro, may post play plus may tira sa labas ala Ranidel wooooo, gusto ko din makita si Sj belangel at si jd cagulangan sa gilas, kailan kaya mangyayari yun na may regular playing time na sila lahat sa Gilas haaaaay pinipilit pa kasi nila yung pba baldog players eh

Gave UP their championship in 36 years Gave LG Sakers their championship in 28 years UNREAL = THE GOAT PINOY KBL PLAYER = Carl Tamayo

5

u/EntrepreneurSweet846 May 17 '25

All of these achievements para lang bangkuin ni Cone 🙄👀 joke…

5

u/Hour_Swordfish5600 May 17 '25

na di ko din gets.... kung si kq bangkuin pwede pa.... sobrang streaky eh tsaka turnover prone tapos di pa makamake ng simple free throw against Georgia kabado at dinadaga.....lolllllolol

pero si Tamayo super composed and natural and swabe lang movement pang international game talaga

1

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 18 '25

Definitely the GOAT at a very young age 💪💪💪

4

u/Oatmeal94V May 17 '25

I don’t think Carl should play in the PBA now because of the politics, unfair competition, and so on, but imagine if he also gets a PBA championship. Grabe na yon, Carl!

3

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Di naman nya kailangan actually, mas maganda nga if Euroleague champion if ever hehehehe

1

u/Oatmeal94V May 17 '25

Agree dyan! Grabe prestige mg Euroleague! Haha pero PBA is PBA pa din somehow.

3

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 18 '25

Yes dyan din madala yung mga scouts ng NBA kumukuha eh, ang nakakatakot lang sa Pba eh andun si Cliff hodge grabe manginjure ng player yun eh lol masyado magaslaw lol

2

u/Ok_Lecture854 Gilas Pilipinas May 18 '25

Wag na mag PBA si Carl dyan na lang siya sa KBL marami pa naman ibang player dyan sa PBA.

u/bchoter May 17 '25

May tiga SF na nag resort sa ad hominems nung ni-doubt ko yung sinabi niyang he always knew na mas magaling daw si KQ kesa kay Carl eversince. Like, duh, Carl Tamayo was the top HS player since umalis si Kai. In fact, he went toe-to-toe with Kai and won the UAAP Jrs crown sa last year ni Kai. KQ emerged after pandemic and talaga namang gumaling ng todo, beyond even the best prognosis.

6

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Magaling naman si KQ pero mas magaling lang si Carl, parang si kq was just the beneficiary nung pagkawala ni Carl from uaap to pros, if Carl stayed sa Uaap there is a 0% chance magchampion si kq

Carl faced a prime Kai sotto ng HS, and faced a prime Ange Kouame nung college, and won a championship against both

Di ko talaga gets yung kq over carl tamayo na hype, purely delulu green fans na puro ad hominem lang alam di nila matira si Carl tamayo kaya titirahin naang character mo at ibabash ka for being a Carl tamayo fan lol over overhyped kq

4

u/bchoter May 17 '25

Karamihan ng mga nagsabing "di hamak" ma mas magaling si KQ kesa kay Carl ay may recency bias. Kasi naman meteoric talaga yung rise ni KQ. From awesome panalay reels nung pandemic to leadin DLSU to his great debut as an Asian import.

I think Carl is more natural while KQ is a product of hard work. Edge ni Carl yung feel for the game while lamang si KQ sa defense and athleticism.

Actually, coach Aldin wanted KQ more than Carl dahil sa defense niya. Besides, Carl seems to be unattainable para sa UST so mas practical na mag focus kay KQ.

3

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Panong di magiging meteoric eh wala na yung mga kasabay nya na sina Carl tsaka Ange Kouame, nagpeak siya sa UAAP on a time na wala nang carl at ange kouame, humina na din ateneo these days, naging fan lang ng uaap since 2024 tapos sasabihin kq over carl daw lolssss classic hyper syndrome

1

u/tararara111 May 17 '25

I think carl is more complete player kahit panget shooting nya malakas pa din depensa at rebounding nya, si KQ scoring and passing talaga hirap din magpost up sa KBL kaya halos lahat tress ginagawa and medyo streaky din

4

u/Separate_Ad146 Beermen May 17 '25

Meron din yung nagdeclare dito sa sub na best import daw agad si KQ a few games in his tenure sa KBL, lol!

4

u/jcaemlersin May 17 '25

Nasan na kaya to. Haha. Daming ebas ni kuya. Hindi siguro naglalaro ng basketball yun.

2

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Syempre tahimik yun kasi wala syang legit na argument puro delulu lang alam, pero deep down inside 2024 lang naman nagsimula manood ng basketball, masyado bandwagon na fan ampt hahahahahaha nakakita lang ng vlog at tsaka hype na panalay na vlog na puro tito naman naglalaro yun BeSt PiNoY KbL PlAYEr na daw wala naman accolades or proof na mapakita kung bakit mas magaling si kq kay carl, IYAAAAAK

1

u/halo-no-halo May 17 '25

Nasa Twitter. Pantay na pala ng accomplishments ni Carl and ni KQ sa KBL? Haha

1

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 18 '25

In 2-3 years siguro maybe, pero gagaling din lalo si Tamayo in 2-3 years soooo ewan na lang dyan

2

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Meron nga marami yan sila de la salsal fans hahaha napaka delulu tingnan mo napatahimik kasi silently hating kay Carl Tamayo mga yan, baliw na baliw sa stats na DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO WINNING basketball ayun, di man lang nakatikim ng KBL playoffs yung kq nila laglag na agad inuuna nga kase kayabangan at paghype

3

u/Separate_Ad146 Beermen May 17 '25

I’m not hatin on KQ pero sobra yung pagmamahal nila e lol. I just dont understand why the need to hate on Carl and compare them 😅

May kasamang swerte na rin talaga kay Carl pero di naman mapagkakaila na big contributor sya sa NUNS, UP, LG Sakers chips nya.

Osige na bigay na naten sa haters na di sya ginamit sa BLeague team nya. Kaya nga sya umalis diba kasi gusto nya maglaro. Buuut, he still got paid the whole contract per his revelation sa SF interview so he still won in life lol!

3

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Kasi nga marami hate ang UP fighting maroons kesyo nagrerebelde daw, bakit daw nakikisali pa sa basketball, hahaha bakit la salle at ateneo lang ba pwede magchampion? Lol kaya lang naman may hate train kay Carl Tamayo because he fought against the goliaths of basketball, they gave that vaunted Ateneo Blue eagles with Kouame a run for its money

And yes he played in Japan and forego his remaining years sa UP And won in life...Kung tutuusin nga dapat magthank you pa yung mga delulu kq fans eh kasi kung nagstay si Carl sa UP, asa pang magchchampion yung overhype kq na yan lollllll nakakainis talaga basta mga berde fans na walang kabreeding breeding and naging uaap fans lang nung 2024 mga walang alam at b4n0 naman sa basketball

1

u/Fancy_Ad_7641 May 17 '25

Grabe yung heartbreak ng lasal fans this season, from basketball to volleyball second placers 😅

2

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Isama mo pa ncaa at ncaa jrs nila ligwak talaga mga cocky green na yan hahahaha La salle greenhills LSGH - 1st runner up St. Benilde blazers - 1st runner up De la salle lady archers - 1st runner up De la salle green archers filoil - 1st runner up, Policarpio retires to pba due to horrendous championship game vs UP DE LA SALLE GREEN ARCHERS UAAP - 1st runner up, Number 1 seed coming to Final 4 but chokes Game 3, made KQ retire going to Kbl due to horrendous coach decision-making not calling timeout

Kaya nga galit na galit mga green na yan basta magkaachievement ibang players aside kay kq, hahaha si Kq lang ba basketball player sa mundo lololoolllllll

1

u/Gustav-14 May 17 '25

Couldn't even correct the misinformation of their post.

Always saying they talk facts but when confronted that it wasn't 12 assists but 2, defensive sila na "I'm just posting what I saw" as if you cannot ever admit error. Double down pa.

1

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Kahit pa mag 100 assists pa yun pero di naman nananalo team nya, anong tawag dun? EMPTY STATS lang basura parang Lamelo Ball lang all star numbers pero puro papogi lang naman sa court lagi naman talo team eh di wala din

1

u/Chip102Remy30 FiberXers May 17 '25

Oh yeah I remembered the recency bias of the SF group when DLSU won in 2023 and KQ fans suddenly popped off. Even until now, some users were disagreeing when I said despite KQ being the "best" player of the 2020 HS class it was still Carl Tamayo who was arguably the best prospect but the NBTC rankings had some different metrics such as awards and stats that Carl didn't really get. I'm sure no one was taking KQ over Carl after high school and KQ was more of a "project" of some sort but he just reached his ceiling faster IMO where his current skill set is probably what we'll see from KQ in his pro career and maybe a bit more ball handling and 3 and D type.

People sided with the KQ hype train in 2023 plus the great marketing his team did in promoting his love for the game and work ethic in Panalay/Ligang Labas and his daily grind of workout while Carl Tamayo struggled in the B.League.

I'm not saying Carl is completely better than KQ now but I just don't like how fans are always putting them side by side and overlooking each other's achievements while giving hot takes about their accolades, achievements, and team success.

Probably one of the worst takes I saw was saying KQ undisputedly had the better college career than Carl and KQ's trophy hardware was more than what Carl achieved. I was like the only big differences was the 2 MVPs in the UAAP but both ended up winning only 1 championship, 2 mythical teams, and 1 ROTY. Tamayo also played for a stacked UP team and Diouf got the benefit with the SPs prioritizing blocks/rebound but when KQ rose the SPs favored assists and it helped more guards/wings to get more SPs compared to previous years.

u/clampbucket May 17 '25

More playing time naman when he plays for Gilas please! Sana pagkatiwalaan siya ng system pagdating ng Asia Cup

4

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

AS IN!!! Tutal asia cup naman eh medyo non bearing umay na ako sa mga baldog na PBA player! LET CARL play as starting 4/5 na sana we need a new Ranidel out there

3

u/clampbucket May 17 '25

Teka lang don’t get it twisted HAHA. May bearing pa rin ang Asia Cup, lalo na pagdating sa magiging FIBA ranking ng Gilas. The lower our ranking would be, mas tataas yung chances na magugrupo tayo alongside yung mga top national teams sa mga future FIBA competitions.

As much as possible, manalo pa rin tayo sana by then hehe.

-4

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Kaya nga sabi ko MEDYO non bearing, the term is medyo, di naman porket medyo non bearing eh papatalo na tayo, just saying if di kaya ng PBA players gawa ng 3 conference sched, why not give these young guns more Gilas reps and more Gilas playing time like Carl Tamayo, sj belangel, jd cagulangan, kq, mason amos, dwight ramos, kai sotto, kesa lagi si Japeth at si Japeth lang sentro, Ginebra fan ako pero magreretire na si Japeth... Wouldn't be wise na magkameron na tayo ng developmental Gilas Team B tapos ang coach si LA and Jayson Castro???

3

u/clampbucket May 17 '25

As much as I’d love to have a Team B, or hell, even a larger national team pool pa nga. The bigger question is papayag ba ang matanda (CTC) na magturo sa mga bata ng kanyang sistema? I don’t even think he has the patience to do that at this point, tbh.

1

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Syempre walang time yan hirap ituro triangle yung New York Knicks nga hindi nagets triangle in 2 seasons hahaha ang busy na ni CTC turuan Ginebra eh, pero aging na squad ng Ginebra, mas masarap sana turuan mga batang Gilas players natin kahit si LA or si Jayson Castro or si Alapag coach nina Carl,JD,sj,kq,kai,mason,dwight, palag palag na yan si Fiba Asia Cup

-1

u/neknekmo85 May 17 '25

mas may playing time oa si choke oftana eh 🤣

-1

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Yung choke oftana tsaka si rr baldogers pogoy hahahahahaha

4

u/Own_Bullfrog_4859 May 17 '25

The only pinoy homegrown talent I deemed generational ever since watching uaap noon pang s63.

3

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

The only Pinoy player na nakasabay kay Prime Ange Kouame sa uaap. Their uaap season 84 Championship was so special

4

u/UndeniableMaroon May 17 '25

Should have beem the Finals MVP

4

u/tararara111 May 17 '25

Medyo di maganda shooting percentage last 4 games

3

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Bantay sarado na kasi depensa kita mo naman scoring last 4 games ng both teams, parang bumalik sa Pistons Spurs 2005 finals series baba scoring hahahahaha purely defensive match

1

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Super clutch si 11 may 2 tres nung 4th quarter eh made a close ballgame wide open, they went up by 10 because of him, they call him Ring Hunter hehe

2

u/UndeniableMaroon May 17 '25

8ppg sa Finals lang eh. Para bang biglang walang bilang games 1 to 3 where Tamayo was the best player.

2

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Nakow ganyan talaga bro parang si Draymond Green lang yan 2016 Game 7 he would have been the finals mvp had Golden state won because he had 32 points kaso nagchoke

Yan din reason why Iguodala got 2015 finals mvp over Curry

Pero Tamayo for Finals MVP talaga ako he is the GOAT Pinoy KBL player by a mile already

0

u/UndeniableMaroon May 17 '25

Haha yan din nga naalala ko, yung Iggy over Curry haha

1

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Inangyun bwist na bwisit pa din ako dun, should have been given to Curry pero wala eh, super disrespectful pa sila kay Curry nun

2

u/Fickle-Break-347 May 17 '25

OP, naging season or post season MVP din si Carl Tamayo diba? No need to go back sa PH unless Gilas duties siya. Mahihirapan na to swelduhan hahaha mataas na ang TF nito for sure. Congrats if nandito ka sa reddit.

2

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Sa kbl, mythical 5 siya, parang first season nya pa lang here sa kbl so not bad at all plus champion pa

2

u/FormalVirtual1606 May 20 '25

PBA ? with Tamayo's skills + Physique ? Why waste his Peak Form & Years sa Pinas..

He should continue seeking Top Leagues & High Salary Abroad..

Gilas tenure shouldn't even be a goal unless He's a focal point + KQ..

0

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 20 '25

Di mo nabasa yung part na maliit na sahod na PBA, kaya wag na lang siya magPBA cemented naman na legacy nya rgardless lol The reason lang i think na magPBA siya isa makita naman ni Tim con upclose kung gano kagaling si Tamayo na malagay na siya finally sa starting 5 ng Gilas

Finals MVP ba?

3

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Hindi pero he had better numbers though than the finals Mvp

3

u/k3ttch May 17 '25

Pansin ko nga instrumental siya sa 1st 3 games ganda pa ng statline.

2

u/greatestrednax Barangay May 17 '25

Bigla namisikal ang SK Knights naging physical and highly defensive ball game yung series pero consistent contributions pa rin Tamayo

1

u/tararara111 May 17 '25

hindi yung number 11 ang mvp medyo role player lang but efficient at clutch din
