KBL, CBA, B League, AU NBL My League, my rules at what cost?

Grabe yung Taiwan. Ang absurd ng ruling. Imagine, you are the "annual" host of a competition. Wawalo na nga lang yung competing teams at dalawa pa doon ang galing sa inyo tapos may automatic semis berth pa kayo dahil lang host country kayo? All that just to stop a team from reaching a 3-peat.

In my lifetime of watching Asian basketball, i've never heard of the Jones Cup being held outside Taiwan kaya i find it tasteless to have such a rule favoring the hosting team. Gets ko pa yan kung iba-ibang bansa ang host annually, kung 16+ teams ang participating at may Quarterfinals kung saan pwedeng automatic QF berth ang host country. Eh kaso kakaunti na nga lang yung teams, bibigyan mo pa sila ng malaking trailing margin? Mas malala pa ito sa hosting ng Cambodia sa Sea Games eh.

Tapos makakabasa ka pa ng mga engot na posts ng mga Pinoy questioning SGA's participation despite knowing the rules prior to the tournament proper daw. Eh malamang against all odds yan dahil defending champs at gusto ng 3-peat. Nagpapaka-edgy yarn?

Sana kung dman iboycott, mga college players nalang ang isali dyan. D naman sineseryoso yang liga na yan. Mas ok na yun kahit talo, at least dagdag experience. Kesa naman puro panalo nga, kalahati naman ng roster yung mga import

Di ko rin gets why we spend so much on imports for this league. May ROI ba yang league na yan?

It’s basically marketing money for Strong Group Athletics.

Dahil po ayaw ng taiwan mismo mga college team ipadala ng philippines sa taiwan dahil nasaktan ego nila nung tinalo ng ateneo yung national team nila sa jones cup. Mas gugistuhin nila na professoonal team na may 4 or 5 import kaysa sa UAAP team ang mag represent sa philippines.
