NBA Finally Admits
<English po para sa international audience. The NBA is tbe oldest professional basketball league in the world. The PBA is the 2nd oldest.>The NBA finally admits that it is not 1992 anymore. Or at least US Team Coach admitted to this.
Manila FIBA Worldcup 2023
The USA cannot just get a selection of NBA players, have their best players sit out, do a couple of weeks practice and expect to bulldoze their way and win every single game, caring not who they will face and that they can win comfortably by 20-30 points every time.
Noah Lyles is right... World Champions of what?

Hastily formed USA Basketball Teams have not won a medal in the last two FIBA Worldcups, this year included. They placed 7th in 2019 and 4th in 2023.
NBA coached US Teams have not won a gold medal in almost 20 years. This last happened in 2010 and 2014 and these teams were not coached by an NBA coach but by a colegiate coach.
The US Team is not ranked number one in the FIBA World Ranking anymore.
Gilas, Philippine Team
The SBP and the PBA now have to admit the same as well. Gilas cannot even comfortably win in the Southeast Asian Games anymore.

NBA and PBA rules and style of play are not the same as those played in FIBA sanctioned games.
Does someone really have to tell the SBP this -- it's not 1954 anymore.
It's 2023 but the SBP still thinks they can form a team in one month and win. This is just plain insanity and hubris.

This is the main reason why Gilas Coach Chot Reyes has been heavily bashed in social media and booed in sports arenas.
Problems
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. These games in Manila should have been the best opportunity for Gilas to get it's best finish since placing third in 1954, to qualify outright to the 2014 Olympics, or at least to be the best or 2nd best placed Asian team. And we cannot even do that.

Favoritism, nepotism, personal interests, vendetta, hard headedness, pride, lies, politics and a history of excuses and blaming others -- these describe Coach Reyes and there are much more not to like about him. There are a lot of crazy things about him that even Gilas and NBA player Jordan Clarkson does not know about and some fans of Coach Chot deny.
Coach Reyes' era is over.
In the words of previous Gilas Coach Yeng Guiao "napag-iwanan na tayo, kailangan na magupgrade ng coaching".
Bayan, gising!
