walang kwenta ang award na yan..may bahid pulutika…d ngbabase sa achievement ng isang player…
why not include the fil-ams like chip engelland – ricky brown and danny seigle ?
Masyadong maaga pa pra kila Jayson Castro, Marc Pingris, Arwin Santos, kelly williams dapat sa 50 greatest n lng sila sinama. Nakalimutan b nila si Dennis Espino, Olsen Racela, Noy Castillo.
bakit wala yung mga mas deserving? yung mga greatest of all time e dapat mga hindi na naglalaro hindi yung mga active players pa. Smh!
kalokohan yan dapat sina espino,cariaso,seigle,asaytono,freddie webb dpat anjan yan tsaka si bong alvarez.dapat yang mga active players na yan di pa isinama.wala sa ayos talaga.kamote.
bakit wala si Lou Salvador!? isa sya sa world record to score 116 points in one game for international basketball competition. thats thats PH vs. JPN
Dapat din si zaldy realubit nasama sa top 40…
As the 25 original are locks, the 15 additions should have only been picked from players who played in the last 15 years (2000 to 2015), cause one can make a case that some players like Olsen are greater than some of the original 25 (e.g. Farbiosa)
c freddie abuda..
yeah.. Vergel Meneses and Jun Limpot
