UP Diliman/BGC • Only the good basketball takes are mine. I was hacked for the bad ones • Views/opinions are mine ʕง•ᴥ•ʔง

Personal news: I have joined the UP coaching staff for the upcoming season.

Probably won't be able to talk publicly about college basketball for the time being, but still.

Thanks to everyone who helped me reach places I've only ever day dreamed about.

@ga_sison Shoutout my guy Elvin Hayes too

You know what? I never even really liked basketball anyway.

Thanks to generations of anti-communist conditioning, Filipinos would still rather continue licking the boots that step on them https://t.co/iq5iIvej2r

@karlo_hermo We either get the Maoist Wemby Spurs or the DemSoc Mamdani Knicks. Spurs in 5 tho idc

WEMBANYAMA AND THE SPURS ARE GOING TO THE NBA FINALS ON THIS YOUNG CORE'S FIRST PLAYOFF RUN

THIS ONLY SHOWS YOU ONE THING. THE MOST POWERFUL FORCE IN THE WORLD IS HATE.

THE OKC HATE WATCH HAS PROSPERED.

No lie, this block is up there as one of the three most memorable blocks that I can remember.

Bron on Iggy. Tayshaun on Reggie. Kornet on IHart.

WEMBY AND THE SPURS BENCH REACTIONS TO LUKE KORNET'S BLOCK?

EVERTHING.

COMMENTARY: Nope, Apple David issue was never just about legality.

☝️ The concern is actually about the power dynamics between a veteran reporter and a teenage student-athlete.

☝️ But more than that, the point to be taken away is that this shouldn't be a reflection of women in sports media, who, in general, just want to do their job of truth-telling in stories.

See, this is why resorting to shenanigans to seize power almost always tends to blow up in your own face.

The hard rule etched deeply in humanity's centuries-long tale of politics is that shenanigans beget shenanigans.

Short-term wins lead to long-term losses and instability.

Alan Pinocchio Cayetano, Rodente Marcoleta, and the 13 Hudas Majority BuLoc thought they could outsmart the Solid-11 Minority.

Let me remind them that Tito Sotto is the only Senator serving on his 5th term.

Na-Bulaga tuloy kayo! 😂

Yet another awful and nasty column by Homer Sayson. A relationship between an 18-year-old girl and 33-year-old man is just aa inappropriate as a relationship between an 18-year-old boy and a 33-year-old woman. Is it so hard to understand predatory behavior and power dynamics?

@Vovo_9898 My bad. He’s pure Filipino in my eyes na siguro at this point haha

[Ryan Alba @_alba__]

Malick Diouf looks to be the FIRST import in the PBA to have been a FSA in the UAAP prior.

Once he plays, he'll be the first naturalized Filipino to play as an import since Marcus Douthit.

It's great to see this happen to a person who's really embraced the country.

MALICK'S TIME 🏀

Pressed for time after Bol Bol’s Achilles injury, TNT tapped Malick Diouf as its emergency import for Game 3 of the #PBA50 Commissioner’s Cup semifinals

@jbvsdworld He's 6'5 without shoes and played 30% of his NBA minutes at SF. That's the size of an international wing with the functional strength of a much stronger player.

Dylan Harper please come play for Gilas. Dylan Harper please come play for Gilas. Dylan Harper please come play for Gilas. Dylan Harper please come play for Gilas. Dylan Harper please come play for Gilas. Dylan Harper please come play for Gilas.

@jbvsdworld That's the thing! We can put Dwight at the 2 and literally whoever at the 1 as long as they can shoot.

We don't NEED to put a small PG anymore. FIBA Asia Dylan Harper is practically just LeBron.

Kai, AJ, Dylan, KQ, and Dwight for example is a viable lineup that can switch 1-4.

[Ryan Alba @_alba__]

Dylan Harper finished with 24 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, and 7 steals playing away from home against the prohibitive favorites to win it all.

He's doing all this as a ROOKIE.

Victor Wembanyama has 41 points, 24 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks in his first WCF game in his young career.

Whatever happens in this series, this is a game that people will be talking about for decades to come.

[Ryan Alba @_alba__]

Fuck Knicks vs Cavs. OKC-SAS is the real NBA Finals.

Insane basketball we're watching and this is only game 1.

[Ryan Alba @_alba__]

@jbvsdworld HE'S 6'5. PUT HIM AT THE 3 ON DEFENSE. IDC
