The stadium in SM is not being built for 2010/2011 FIBA Games.
The reason why NU traded places as host of the UAAP is that the stadium will not be ready for next year.
The stadium is primary built as the home of the bulldogs aside from hosting other events.

Slingerrock, i dont know your measurement of good player,but i seen differently, jeffers is not past my assesment.He scores when he is being guarded by small player
Larry and Hartman is more complete player.

Watched the replay of this game.. And I REALLY saw some blocks by Espiritu, Baclao and Jeffers..

That blow on Jeffers was just unlucky.. He was hounding Ybanez to the baseline and Ybanez was protecting his dribble.. The problem is that Warren is 5’7″(???) and Jeffers is more than a foot taller.. So were to your think his (Ybanez) shoulders would be..;p

too much nationalism is already fanaticsm, fanaticsm tends to blind people of the truth and stirr people to destroy one another… Hitler and the Japs did that…

Please don’t arrive at the conclusion that all the bad things that happened in Manila / San Juan was carefully planned and intended by some parties with vested interests….
Reckless…hmmm maybe…but intentional…I don’t think so (ok this is my opinion).

If you get to know life outside basketball in the Philippines, you won’t even think of all these conspiracies. ; )

Life is short, basketball career/profession is much shorter, these ABL (and other leagues’) players are enjoying their jobs while they can. They’re not gonna lose sleep over our insults.

It’s probably the fans bashing each other are losing sleep defending their fave players.

@DEANA,
I’m not sure why it won’t work for you. I’ll post links of any other articles that I can bump into.

Mart… this post confuses me… this thread is not taking me to the right place… hopefully Redhoops can send a better link when they find out what it is… thanks anyway… (Mart said: only the very first post is useful information. don’t bother reading the subsequent posts.

I use to think Toa Payoh stadium’s locker room was bad as it was opposite a public stinky toilet and having no air conditioner. It seemed really like a bad place to host the ABA teams, hello, with Sun Yue in it? But at least, it was open and clean. That is the basic criteria for a locker room at the least! Players ought to be safe and reasonably comfortable. Wet floors and locked rooms are no-no! As a player, that will feel terrible!

@jimmy arroyo, you don’t have to insult a player here. KJ is the best player in the ABL, no import comes close to his skill level and no pinoy player in the ABL is half his match!
