  1. you have a point there bro..

     

    i`ve read this book entitled "The Biographical History of Basketball" and in one chapter, "The Greatest Player in History", there is this myth called the "Jordan Supremacy Myth" which according to legitimate basketball historians (of which there are shamefully few), has been nurtured from the start by the constant drone of public relations geniuses, product pitchmen and media "talking heads" (of which there are many) :

     

     

    - there is the issue of a print and video media that has constructed a full-fledged industry around the hyping of MJ, including the NBA itself.

     

    - even more telling is the seemingly ceaseless propaganda blitz mounted by a Nike sporting goods company campaign designed to generate billions of dollars in corporate sales. Michael`s rank as the greatest basketball player, the greatest pure athlete, the greatest everything imaginable, has all been a necessary element in the corporate success of Nike and several dozen other high-profile companies that ride precariously on the coattails of Air Jordan`s legend.

     

    in fact, the chapter describes MJ as "Michael Jordan--Most Popular Player on Madison Avenue".. :P

     

     

    :mtc:

     

    Parents will hate you for this. It's the same as telling their kids to stop reading books as its just nonsense. :lol:

  2. bibilib sana ako kay Japeth kung di sya nagpa draft tapos sumali na lang sya dun sa Smart Gilas,mas ok pa yun atleast inde nya nagulo ang mundo ng PBA alangan naman ulitin ng PBA yung draft eh halos lahat ng nakuha rookie naka pirma na ng kontrata......laking gulo ito!!

     

    is it reallly his own decision?erpat nya kaya?o ni MVP?wala kayang money involve talaga??

     

    Walang money involved? read: MVP :lol:

     

    How in the world could a new team like this recruit Top caliber players with 3 years contract & prevent them from joining the PREMIERE PROFESSIONAL LEAGUE? :lol: Again...read: MVP

  3. Talaga asar ang BK sir and u cant blame them..Kung alam lang nila na ganun gagawin ni JA sana si Rico na lang ang kinuha nila and nde nila bibigay si Arwind.. Hindi pede pagsabayin nya ang SMART GILAS and BK...Nagpadraft cia and honor nya un commitment nya sa BK...Hindi basta basta problema ang iniwan nya sa BK and PBA...

     

    100% exact sentiments.

     

    My vote: Banned for life sa PBA.

     

    GUIAO BELIEVES JAPETH GETTING BAD ADVICE

     

    I feel for Guiao. isipin mo ikaw ang coach and you took the 1st pick and is setting your eyes on winning the All Filipino Conf then bigla na lang humina team dahil sa pagrefuse ng Top Pick to honor his duty.

     

    Which makes me think now, Mas naging malaking tulong siguro si Ranidel sa Powerade Team kung siya na lang ang pinalaro in lieu of Japeth.

     

    Japeth Aguilar is no different from CABAGNOT! Masyadong nagpaimportante di pa man nakakapaglaro sa PBA. :thumbsdownsmiley:

  4. Players wise, they are still too raw for next years competition. But I think the idea of putting up a team exclusively to represent the country is good. It has some bad sides to it though. One of which is, the players don't get to play competitive ball that much. How many times do you get to play them in a year? And against whom? Maybe a good idea is to insert the team into on-going tournaments in the country and also outside of the country. The problem with some of the tournaments outside of the country, sometimes the other teams don't really play 100% so the competitive level is not that high. Playing them in the local tourney should give them some confidence in their skills (which I believe they have).

     

    I think the Smart Gilas team, once it matures, could be a better "team" than the current Powerade PBA Selection Team. Again, take note of the word "team". For one, the players don't have any egos to protect, the coach need not be too fair in the playing time (yes, I am very critical of the Powerade Team rotation since I believed it lost us some games that we should have won!).

     

    Again, basketball is a team sport. And a team that plays well together will probably have a better chance. It is only the exposure of this team that I am worried about. Plucking all collegiate members mean that some of these players have not yet matured or gained the confidence needed to really excel. They need to play in more tournaments and should be inserted into the PBA and other tournaments. PBA should adopt one conference for FIBA Rules and allow the Smart Gilas team to participate in that conference.

     

    I have high hopes for this team.

     

    Which popped in my mind. Could the PBA atleast accept Smart Gilas as a temporary PBA team? Yun na lang cguro conswelo natin for them opting not to lend players to the National team.

  5. This is BASED on players during my era.

     

    Kobe Bryant PG

    Michael Jordan SG

    Lebron James SF

    Kevin Garnett PF

    Hakeem Olajuwon C

     

    I think MJ & Mamba can alternate the 1 & 2 position while LBJ will be unstoppable in the SF spot. Kg will be playing his usual game while the dream can play the inside or the mid range spot.

  6. Sometimes Pretty/Beautiful/lovely women fall for ugly men because they are knowledgeable enough to give more importance to the future. Alam nila na Pag merong di gaano attractive na guy na pinapakita sa kanila na mahal na mahal sila & would put them on the pedestal mahihirapan silang ilet go itong guy na to. This usually happens to girls whose been into numerous relationships na & would want something more serious(see: COMMITMENT)

     

    Is this just a theory of mine? Nope, 2 ex ko nagsabi sa akin nito. (complicated lang reason why we broke up & far from the topic)

     

    Sabi ko pa dun sa isa....

     

    me: Ba't moko love?

    girl: Tanga ka... ewan ko sayo.... (embarrassed)

    me: di nga....

    girl: eh kasi di mo naman ako binigyan ng option eh... masyado mo akong minahal.

    me: hmmm...cguro pangit lang talaga taste mo....

    girl: Tanga ka...sabay yakap (kasi nahiya siya dahil naiyak siya) :upside:

     

    Ugly ba ako? di naman cguro pero di rin guapo. :lol:

  7. Women only have sex when they're in love, Myth or Fact?

     

    Definitely UNTRUE. In my experience, women are sometimes forced in a situation na sa sobrang alam nilang pinapangalagahan sila & inaalagaan kahit di nila mahal yung guy, they give in. This is especially true for single moms who are longing to find love or appreciate the feeling of being loved by a guy.

  8. Lastly, ang ayaw ko sa Chinaphone pangit ang mp4 playback.. and most (if not all) dont play divx files..

     

    meron bang chinaphone maganda mp4 playback para watch movies talaga na smooth like dvd player?

     

    Try the N100. Satisfied naman ako before.

     

    my baby brother's china phone is two years old already

     

    fell a couple of times but it's still going hehe

     

    so for me they are worth it, considering their price :)

     

    if you need an extra third or fourth phone, this'll do.

     

    Agree, and just an advice. Dun kayo bumili sa mga nagbibigay ng 6mos-1yr warranty (me kakilala ako na maganda ang aftersales service) Sa Carriedo, malls, greenhills... maximum of 1 month lang ang ibibigay nilang warranty.

     

    Buying a china phone is not for the risk averse. Although they are really good buys and may last more than a year, once you plunk your money down you must be prepared to lose it.

     

    True. And if maingat ka, most likely just like the original nokias & Se's, you will be able to use it for a long time. :thumbsupsmiley:

  9. One thing's for sure on Sunday. If Pato Testaburger watches the game live at the coliseum, then DLSU has NO chance of winning, mahirap kalabanin ang jynx. :lol:

  10. ADMU will win by +/- 10 points :evil:

     

    Had you not watched the DLSU UST game, WE would've won by +/- 10pts.

     

    Now DLSU naman ijijynx mo! :blink:

     

    I'm craving for PEKING PATO deduck! :evil:

  11. I don't think I even wanna watch their matchup this year. La Salle will get creamed by over 20 points.

     

    And I thought last year's matchup was embarrassing. This year might be even worse.

     

    After what Dlsu has shown over my beloved UST, I don't think it will be a free ride for the Blue side.

     

    mukhang nag-ahit si bigote ah. nakita ko sa replay :lol:

     

    Me inaantay kaming sagot sayo sa UAAP thread! :angry: Nanood ka ba sa Araneta kaya tayo natalo sa DLSU? :blink:

     

     

    U-S-T Let's Go FIGHT!

    D....LS.....U! Animo LaSalle!

  12. KAPAL MO, YENG !!! THE ABSENTEE PUBLIC OFFICIAL !!! Sweldo sa Burger King, Sweldo pa rin sa Kapitolyo !!! Brusko pa!! Basagulero pa!!!

     

     

    matalo sana this comig election :thumbsdownsmiley:

     

     

    If the purpose of this thread is a hate campaign against Coach Yeng, then I believe this is not really sports related & thus should be move to the Politics thread....

     

     

    IMHO LANG.

  13. David Robinson, Charles Barkley, Allen Iverson, Eric Snow, Paul Pierce, KG, Stephon Marbury, Magic Johnson, Vince Carter, Derrick Rose, D-wade are some of the MANY players I've seen in numerous videos saying that Michael Jordan will forever be the greatest basketball player to wear the basketball shoes.

     

    Btw, add DAVID STERN.

     

    I watched Jordan's last game against 76'ers & it's just amazing how he is loved by the PHILADELPHIA crowd. This guy got charisma & seldom complain for uncalled fouls. Truly an amazing athlete.

     

     

    And the only guy who can point a finger in Dennis Rodman's face and tell him "THAT's ENOUGH" without getting headbutt'd or body slammed by the Bad Boy of NBA. :upside:

     

    I miss the days where I would go to greenhills with my hard earned baon & kupit just to buy some packs of basketball cards. The feeling of pulling a Michael Jordan insert card is PRICELESS. :rolleyes:

  14. Kung ayaw ni Cotto si Darchinyan na lang. Anyway sabi nya di ba he wants to fight Manny daw. What is it with guys like Diaz (juan), Juarez, Valero, and now Darchinyan thinking that they actually have a shot, or even deserve one, with Pacquiao?

     

    Darchinyan is one hell of a fighter. But Pacquiao? and after the fate he suffered with Nonito? He's NUTS! :blink:
