As time passes by PBA had a lot of issues, First is the controversial win of the BMEG Llamados in the Commissioners Cup and second is the Controversial Tweets of Don Allado Indicating that PBA games are Fixed. and with those issues some people are already thinking: Is PBA worth watching?
Yes PBA has so many issues and it's kinda boring to watch because these Questions stuck in our heads: "Is this game Fixed?" So people tend to watch the NBA than the PBA and also some people say that PBA is boring because of the plays and the players not unlike in the NBA they bring excitement with those clutch shots, those monster dunks, those sweet crossover, those amazing plays they bring.
PBA can also give those kinds of excitement but in a different way.. Our Colonial mentality is really with us Pinoys and we tend to support International BBall and Insult our local players with the some saying: "Hindi kaya ng mga pinoy ang US", "Hindi nila kakayanin sa FIBA kasi maliit sila","Panis nga si DonDon Hontiveros kay Kobe eh" In these Sayings I hear from other people it's hurting me a lot, Because to be honest I'm more of a PBA fan than a NBA or a european BBAll fan. Yes I live in a family with no cable and unable to watch the NBA unless there is a free telecast in the local channels. My point is let us not discriminate our own Basketball leagues and give support to them, what hurts the most is that we give more support on the international BBall.
Yes NBA is more different than PBA, but there is always room for improvements. We cannot deny that USA and other countries are better than us, but why with the insult with our local players? Why do we need to compare them with international Players? Can't we just give our support for them so that they could improve more?
That's what's wrong with some of us.. They tend to insult our own but they've never done anything to help them to improve. I hope even with all these issues surrounding the PBA people will support the Philippine basketball for one day they could be our nations pride. Let us also step aside the "Colonial mentality" and try to support or watch Philippine Bball games. We don't know in the future we might be one of the powerhouse in the basketball league.
