Philippines to host FIBA Asia Championship in August 2013
Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) president Manny V Pangilinan (MVP) announced today that FIBA Asia has awarded the Philippines the rights to host the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship from August 1-13, 2013. The top 3 teams in the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship will qualify to play in the 2014 FIBA World Cup. The last time the Philippines hosted the FIBA Asia Championship was in 1973 or 40 years ago.
Congratulations SBP and MVP! This is great news for Smart Gilas, next problem is forming the best team and to prepare them in the next few months.
Goodbye Javale McGee?
Having Javale McGee join Smart Gilas in International Tournaments will surely help our Philippine National Basketball Team but with a big cost. Since McGee signed a $44 million contract with the Denver Nuggets, allowing McGee to play for Smart Gilas, Denver will require a big insurance policy which should be covered by our country through SBP or Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas.
Do you think it is still a good idea to pursue Javale McGee for Smart Gilas?
