“We’re going to make some plans. We’re going to plan to do something,” Bosh said in a telephone interview from Los Angeles. “I think just getting around each other, I think it’s important as far as team-building is concerned and just getting something going.

A lot of fans around the world are now wondering and anxious on the current situation of the world’s richest organization the National Basketball Association. It has been few months now that there’s no significant update whether there will be 2011-2012 Season or this could be an end of the most elusive sports in the world.

Lebron James is optimistic that the players union has only one thing in mind and that is to make all players make their living reasonably and to give the fans all over the world a hope that there is still things to enjoy despite of all the setbacks and struggles and that is the show that the NBA has to offer.

Lebron James and the Miami Heat are ready to bounce back after their disappointing loss in 2011 NBA Finals against Dallas Mavericks. Lebron James on his part felt that he let his fans down and the entire Miami Heat organization and he wants’ to avenge and redeem himself by playing his game of his life this coming 2011-2012 NBA Season. Lebron James and the Miami Heat is now ready for the big battle ahead and they are moving forward from the worst and most criticized season they have.

Lebron James the 2 time MVP is now totally focus of capturing his first ever championship ring and give Miami Heat the 2^nd title of franchise history. King James is a warrior and the defeats he encountered will never stop him of aiming for a higher accolades and winning a multiple championships. Being teamed up with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh is a risk because all eyes are on them and everytime they commit mistakes they paid darely on it. Considered as one of the most celebrated ‘Big 3’ is now on their 2^nd season with less pressure on their shoulder.

To relieve the pressure and to ease the pain, Lebron James on his part is to win a championship and win it more for Miami Heat.

Many NBA Players are now considering playing abroad and if this lockout will continue, most of the NBA Stars will be in different league in the world. Would this be beneficial? Or it will only deepen the problem and ruin the relationship between the union and the league itself. This should be stop and let the game begin.

Lebron James will continue his domination once the 2011-2012 NBA Season will eventually start and with a vengeance on his eyes. He will be more mature and focus to his game with no destructions anymore. For King James all has been cruel for him especially last season when he decided to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers for Miami Heat.

He knows in Miami Heat and teaming up with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh is the best decision ever he can have for his elusive basketball career.

Smart Gilas Pilipinas: More Games, More Exposure!

After its recent campaign in Jones Cup 2011 that placed them in 3^rd position, Rajko Toroman and the rest of the coaching staff and management were convinced that the team is improving and the program is on the right track to create a national basketball team that will create noise and some fear to other asian countries including powerhouse team of IRAN and China. It has been proven that with enough preparation and exposure in international competition, the team will flourish and develop to mature.

It is not only talent that will bring success in any sports and we are very particular on our sports that we love, basketball. With this basketball program by Manny Pangilinan (truly an MVP) this is simply a sign of awareness that talent wise Filipinos have what it takes but as what I said talent is not enough to succeed in international scene. National teams need exposure that’s including familiarization of the rules and regulations and to get more ideas on how our neighboring countries played and the approach of the game.

Basically, Smart Gilas Pilipinas has a long way to go and it was a good idea that this program will continue and develop more to be more competitive and eventually will be able to capture respect and bring pride to our nation. Sacrifice is one and big question mark here, with money involve these players will be shift direction and leave the Smart Gilas Pilipinas in exchange to Philippine Basketball Association with a lot of opportunity and money. But how this program last if those players will quit and joining the professional league? This is now the biggest challenge for the coaching staff and the management to convince its players to stay and continue to play for the flag.

Chris Tiu, JV Casio, Marc Baracael, Marc Barroca are those only few members of the Smart Gilas Pilipinas national team show some interest to play in the PBA and earn big bucks. But it will be a failure for this team if majority of the players will not stay and instead play for the big league. Though the program will continue, they will again form a new members and then train and expose them to what the previous members did. I think this will not be effective and it will only ruin our chances. It should be a long program and players will have the same goal and that is to make our people and our nation proud.

Smart Gilas Pilipinas have been there and the only thing they have to do is to set their minds that playing with the flag is a big responsibility and honor. Money will follow and surely they will be blessed and given the accolades that any players wishing for. This is something big in the Philippines that the likes of Manny Pangilinan are helping our program to boost our Philippine sports without asking any help from government. This should be an obligation that our government should do but because of lack some initiatives and budgets…it was high time for MVP to step up and save our sports for the sake of Filipinos and our nation.

Smart Gilas Pilipinas is now gearing up in their preparation for Wuhan, China Olympic Qualifier and this might be the start of something big in Philippine Basketball as well as Philippine Sports.

Let us support the team of Smart Gilas and continue praise them for what they have sacrifice for us.

Mabuhay Smart Gilas PIlipinas….More to go!

Jones Cup: Smart Gilas Pilipinas vows to SOKOR 78-70!

Smart Gilas Pilipinas showed tremendous improvement in terms of competitiveness and maturity in the system approach of Coach Rajko Toroman wanted to emphasize. They are now becoming more dangerous every game and make some statement every game.

Mostly composed of amateur players, Smart Gilas Pilipinas was formed two years ago with raw talents and inexperienced in international scene. But with coach Rajko Toroman guidance and patience this team starting to be one of the most dangerous teams in Asia.

Smart Gilas Pilipinas currently campaigning for Jones Cup 2011 and after five games they have a standing of 3-2 but what is more promising is their maturity and discipline inside the court. Lost to South Korea just a while ago with a score of 78-70 but not after the scary run that makes the Koreans give their best shot to defeat Smart Gilas Pilipinas in an exciting and competitive fashion.

But as they say, this team was being criticized all year long and what is more painful is that fellow Filipinos never have faith and doesn’t believe that it would make an impact or even compete with the best team in Asia such as China, Iran and ofcourse South Korea or even Jordan and Lebanon. But the way they are showing right now, Smart Gilas Pilipinas is now proving everyone wrong and they are giving their best shot and showing competitiveness in every international or exhibition games they played. They displayed heart and dedication to make the Philippines proud.

The way it was working with the team system that Coach Rajko Toroman wanted to imply, this team has something to look forward to. Beating the Asia Champion Iran in their opening match and playing hard against Jordan and South Korea makes them one of the teams to beat in Asia with the composition of elite collegiate players and a few selections of players from Philippine Basketball Players. Not to mention the big help from naturalize Marcus Douthit who is highly considered as one reason why play good basketball nowadays.

At the recent Jones Cup 2011, Smart Gilas Pilipinas is expected to be at least in the top four and have a chance to make it to the finals and eventually won a championship if they will be successful. The way they showed from playing against the best team who participated (IRAN, SOKOR and Jordan), they have definitely a very big chance of capturing the elusive Jones Cup Crown.

But there are still needs to learn and to expect, it will not end it here Smart Gilas Pilipinas will continue believing and serve the flag of the Philippines. With the extension of this program, for sure this team Smart Gilas Pilipinas will be develop and will become one of powerhouse teams in Asia.

Go Gilas , Go Pilipinas we are proud of You….
