FIBA Asia Championship for Men (formerly Asian Basketball Confederation Championship) is a tournament which takes place every two years between teams of the continent. This is the Asian qualifying tournament for the FIBA World Championship and the Olympic basketball tournament. The tournament is also known as the Asian Championships.


---------------------

Philippine National Basketball Team

The national basketball team of the Philippines is one of the best-performing Asian teams (Dati siguro) in international tournaments, winning a bronze medal in the 1954 FIBA World Championship for men and a fifth-place finish in the 1936 Summer Olympics, the two best finishes of any Asian team in the history of the top two international basketball tournaments.

The coach of the team is Yeng Guiao of Red Bull in PBA. Players will be name later by the selection panel.

FIBA Championship for Men will start on Sept 1, 2009.

Kaya pa ba nating makipagsabayan sa ibang Asia Countries sa Basketball?

ok tong thread na to..

parang sakin, kung sa mga talents ng ating bansa at kung paghahandaan ng maaga, kaya nating sabayan ang mga ibang team sa asia, except china.. kaya tayo natalo sa nakaraang fiba-asia ay dahil kulang tayo sa exposure. kitang kita sa performance ng mga players, nahirapang ma-adopt ang fiba rules at dinaga ang ibang mga players.

-----

^^1 year na lang FIBA Asia na Pareng Jaggler...Bago ang coach malamang marami ang mapapalitan na players sa dating roster ni Chot Reyes kasi malaki ang pagkaiba ng system nila...

Pero tingin ko ang sigurado diyan..si Menk at Asi kasi kailangan natin ng malalaki para makipagsabayan sa China tapos nandyan pa ang mga bagong develop team na gaya ng Iran at Jordan..

-----

Threat talaga sa atin ang China, Iran, Jordan at saka Lebanon. Kailangan talaga ng National team natin ng legit big man. Competitive na kasi tayo sa PG-SF positions. We have to really develop our national bets.
Bakit ba ayaw nating mag naturalize ng isang player? Pride ba ang dahilan? Kasi iniisip ko yung sa sitwasyon ng Russia. Si Holden eh isang American pero napili niyang maglaro for Russia.

-----

Salamat kay bluryan_kakeru sa siggy

^^Tama ka diyan Ser Dread..pati ang Japan may naturalized sila..ang Jordan meron din..siguro pride talaga natin, gusto natin iyung sariling atin talaga.

Picture pala ng Last National Team..sino kaya ang masali sa team ni Yeng?



Nabasa ko pala tayo pala ang 1st place noong 1986 na FIBA Asia...ang nakalagay doon bannered by Allan Caidic and Samboy Lim..sino ang may alam ng complete na line up noon...astig..naka tikim din pala tayo ng Champion sa FIBA Asia..20yrs na pala since last Champion natin

-----

^^1 year na lang FIBA Asia na Pareng Jaggler...Bago ang coach malamang marami ang mapapalitan na players sa dating roster ni Chot Reyes kasi malaki ang pagkaiba ng system nila...

oo, isang taon na nga lang dapat ngaun, naghahanda na sila, dapat officially ng hirangin ang mapipili nilang coach, kung si coach yeng mas maganda kung bumuo na xa habang maaga pa.

Pero tingin ko ang sigurado diyan..si Menk at Asi kasi kailangan natin ng malalaki para makipagsabayan sa China tapos nandyan pa ang mga bagong develop team na gaya ng Iran at Jordan..

si menk ok sana xa kaso prone xa sa injury. si asi, pasok yan sigurado, pero tingin ko mas maganda kung sa PF position xa, tapos isa pang sentro. kaya kelangan
cguro natin ng naturalize player ay isang big man, especially sa power forward at center position.. isa o dalawang naturalized big man, pwede na. sabi nga ni dread, sa SG at PG walang problema, madami tayo nyan, SF, unti-unti ng sumusulpot ang matatangkad na SF. at isa sa kelangan natin ay exposure sa international competition, hindi ok ung ginagawa ng PBA na mag-organize ng invitational tournament.
ung mga prospect na big men na nakapost sa thread ni pareng korn ay magandang idagdag, pero sa future pa, d pa sila hinog sa fiba-aisa next year

-----

talent wise, kaya siguro makipagsabayan ng RP Team sa fellow Asian countries. nadedehado lang talaga tayo sa height, preparation at international basketball program. baka pwedeng hugutin yung mga namamayagpag na Fil-Ams sa US to play for the national team tutal it's our country's pride that is at stake.

pare, ang pagkaka-alala ko, eto ung team na si ron jacobs ang coach. eto ung team na base sa aking alaala ay puro amateurs. ang nagpalakas sa team na to ay ung naturalized player. dalawa yata ang naturalized player ng pinas nun, ang naalala ko lang ay si Chip Engeland. magaling sya sa shooting..

-----

^^Kaya pala..gulat ako kahit paano pala nakatikim din tayo ng Championship sa Asia FIBA..tapos iyung dalawang mabigat pa na player natin ang nagdala..Caidic at SAmboy..Naalala ko dati itong dalawa kilala na mabigat na player sa Asia lalo na si Caidic na halos posas na kaagad basta maglaro sa Intl..

-----

oo,sabi dati ng isang commentator, kinakatakutan si allan caidic dahil sa kanyang three point shots. naghari nun ang pilipinas sa asia, pero sa matagal ng panahon eto ay nung 70's pa, i think apat-limang magkakasunod na nagchampion ang pinas sa fiba-asia un ay nung bago pa tinatag ang pba. nung nagkaroon na ng pba, parang nawala tayo sa placing ng fiba-asia. nung 1986, puro amateurs pa ang players nun.

-----

Sa tingin q maraming players ang willing na magbigay ng tulong sa RP team... Marami kc ang injured ngaun sa mga dating team members ng RP Team... C Japeth Aguilar, willing daw xa magserve sa RP team... sa tingin q malaki ang maitutulong nya... Saka maraming local players na bata at willing pa na matuto... Maaring ndi sila manalo ngaun pero tingnan natin sa mga susunod na tournaments. At least my experience cla sa international tournament and based dun sa experience na un, mag-eevolve sila as a better team... ang basketball team game yan... at ndi individual skills...

-----
If I were rain, that joins sky and earth that otherwise never touch, could I join two hearts as well?

Si Japheth nga pwedeng-pwede for our National Team. Si Sonny Thoss mukhang pwede na din isabak. Sa guards naman Gabe Norwood and Ryan Reyes. I-naturalized na din dapat si Sam Ekwe.

-----

^^ngayon iyung mga ka-Zone natin sa Asia nag develop na..Iran, Jordan at Qatar..dati pag Asian Game China lang tayo nahihirapan tapos sa sa ibang team kayang-kaya natin.

Guiao open to coach RP five

Red Bull coach Yeng Guiao said the other day he will seriously consider accepting the job of calling the shots for the Philippine national team, if offered, but declined to go through a selection process which could be counterproductive.

SBP executive director Noli Eala confirmed recently the PBA's role in forming the national squad for the FIBA-Asia Championships in China next year and if it qualifies, the World Championships in Turkey in 2010.

Eala said the national coach for the PBA selection will be picked by the pro league. Guiao has been widely recommended by other PBA coaches, particularly Barangay Ginebra's Joseph Uichico, for the position.

The foreign coach, whom the SBP is recruiting for the developmental pool, will not be tapped for the PBA selection.

Last year, Guiao underwent a tedious grilling process with Chot Reyes and Joel Banal in vying for the job of coaching the national team at the FIBA-Asia Championships in Tokushima. The candidates submitted written explanations of their vision for the squad and were subjected to rounds of interviews. In the end, Reyes was chosen.

"Nobody is talking to me about coaching the national team," said Guiao, who has bagged five PBA titles, two with Swift and three with Red Bull. "All I know is what I read in the papers. Of course, it would be an honor to coach the Philippine team. Who wouldn't want it? I'm just happy reading in the papers that some of my peers in the PBA think I would be a good choice."

Guiao, 49, said he's not holding his breath to be assigned.

"If it's offered, I would consider it seriously," said Guiao. "I've never experienced being the head coach of our national team. In 1989, I was an assistant coach in Derick Pumaren's staff for the Southeast Asian Games and ABC (now FIBA-Asia) Championships. I realize choosing the national coach isn't easy. Whoever is the team sponsor has a big say in the selection. You might get a consensus but that's not necessarily the decision."

Guiao said he'll decline the nomination if made to undergo another grilling process.

"I've been through that before," he said. "Surely, my record speaks for itself."

Guiao begged off from naming shoo-ins for the national team.

"I think it would presumptuous on my part to even suggest names," he said. "We've got more than enough talent in the PBA to choose from. The team will be composed of players whom I believe are fit for a system that can succeed in international competition."

Guiao said how Red Bull has consistently overachieved in the PBA is a tribute to the players, not him.

"Maybe, part of the reason is my ability to communicate," he continued. "That's where my background as a politician helps. I try to push the right buttons. But it's the players who make things happen. My role is to convince the players that my priority is to improve their careers. Loyalty begets loyalty. If you put your career on the line for someone, he'll do the same for you. Ipaglalaban ka kung ipaglalaban mo siya."

Guiao said he never takes attention away from the players.

"I don't take credit for the team's success," said Guiao. "Even when I get angry, the players know it's for their own good. No matter how hard I am on them, we keep our respect for each other. I don't enjoy getting angry. If I lose my temper, it's for a reason, for them to get better. They don't take it against me. They know what my intentions are. And after I get angry, it's over. Off the court, we're friends again."

Guiao said in the coming PBA draft, he'll be looking out for a big man, a four or five who plays inside. The problem is there may be none available.

"We've got big men who play outside like Mick (Pennisi) and Mike (Hrabak)," he went on. "When it's our turn to draft, I guess we'll get the best available. I've seen Jared Dillinger play and he seems to be okay. We know Gabe Norwood's game and he's good, too."

Guiao said several contracts are up for renewal. - Joaquin Henson/Philstar

Pagkaalala ko ang kasama ni Chip Engelland nun sila Jeff Moore at Dennis Still, o sino lang sa kanila. By the way, Chip Engelland is the shooting coach of San Antonio Spurs.
