    we a Cebuano suggested that we want James Yap to be part of your team as replacement of baby assassin…THE Filipino ALSO KNEW THAT THAT JAMES YAP CAN MAKE HISTORY!

      Dili bagay si james yap sa international game,mas okey pa c dondon hontiveros.. pang pilipinas lng laro ni james yap!

      Eh ayaw nga ng lht ng SMC team magpahiram ng sobra sa isa. exemption lng si LA at Japeth dhl natrade si La from Alaska..technically from the start isa lng per SMC team ang pinayagan sumama sa gilas..kita mo si slaughter at lassiter..pero si paul lee, dilinger, washington at belga di sila galing from SMC team kaya walang pumigil sa knila.

      eh sa ayaw mgpahiram ng SMC ng sobra sa isa per team nila..kita mo si slaughter at lassiter..yun japeth at la..technically isa lng kc originally si la is from alaska nun simula..pero pag paul lee, dilinger, washington at belga na di employeed sa smc..napakaluwag sa loob

      Sir Julito, your request is not possible because James Yap is not a member of Gilas training pool. There are 17 names submitted by the coaching staff to the FIBA organizers to compose the Philippine team. Since James Yap is not in that list then it is impossible for him to be included. He is also a San Miguel player who only allows a one player policy to render its service to the national team and Marc Pingris is already in.

    • ezra says:

      I think he can’t play every. sorry. Also his game is not fit dribble drive.

    • toobs says:

      nah, JAmes Yap unfortunately is not effective in international games.. what we need in International games are the likes of lassiter, fonacier,hontiveros.. those who are consistent shooters and have good fundamentals..

    • StrayBullet says:

      James Yap? Really? Remember what he did on Powerade Team Pilipinas? Larong PBA lang yang Yap niyo sir.

    • rasta says:

      lol.. james yap? he cant even shoot free throw in a crucial seconds.. like game 5 against ROS… its better paul lee…

    • Benjie Fabriquel says:

      Coach Chot already explained that i saw it on an interview. He gave invitation to James Yap to join the training pool. but he was not allowed by the Team management San Miguel Corporation.

    • carej villanueva says:

      james yap??? are you serious??? he was a part of national team before and he did nothing. he is big game only for big dome that’s it!!!

  3. Michaela Paras says:

    Paul Dalistan Lee, Jared Dillinger or Beau Belga. Because they are proven in their stint in the FIBA Asia Cup.

  4. negs says:

    wala nmang depensa c james yap….paul lee yan…..

  5. Joel Abad says:

    Paul lee is Mitch better because if James yap, sometimes he has a down moment that he cannot even produce a productive game.

  6. dave says:

    paul lee

  7. daniel says:

    Sana c james yap Poh ??

  8. oliver magpili says:

    Mgnda sna kung c james yap..kso auw nya eh..terrence pwede..mas my potential ky paul lee..

  9. joarc dela cruz says:

  10. zand says:
