NBA Starter or the Young Journeyman?


I don't know where to start. Seriously.

This blog entry is about fans suggesting that Denver Nuggets' center Javale Pierre McGee (who happens to be a legitimate NBA starter) should NOT be our naturalized player (and the one who'll take Douthit's place) in favor of the PBA Commissioner's Cup Best Import 2012, Denzel Bowles.


This guy....


McGee vs Andrew Bynum


vs this guy...




Denzel Bowles vs Ali Peek


Should this even be debated? Let me get this straight, you want a journeyman who recently won a championship in the PBA (who failed to get drafted) over an NBA Slam Dunk contest runner-up, 18th overall draft pick and once again, a LEGITIMATE NBA STARTER? Weird. Seriously. Mind boggling. Mind effed.
If you were hoping to read a neutral entry from admin KP, you thought wrong. I just find this whole situation absurd. I'm not trying to escalate the issue here, I want to end it. I'm just frustrated at how  (sorry for the term) some "superfans" are. Bowles > McGee? Really? Really? Really?

On a serious note, I do understand why Bowles fans want him on the national team. Let's face it, the whole nation hates the Tropang Texters. They were rallying BMeg. They wanted to see Chot Reyes choke, and choke he did. BMeg won the championship in seven games behind the dominating performance of "Super Bowles". He overpowered the likes of Kelly Williams, Donell Harvey, Ali Peek, Harvey Carey and Ranidel de Ocampo! WOW.

Meanwhile, McGee's team lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1st round of the NBA Western Conference playoffs. He tussled with the likes of Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol. Here's a vid:




Nuff said. McGee FTW. It's not the fans who chose him over Bowles, it's the SBP's call.

So SMC fans (who are members of Team Bowles), if you want to do something helpful to the NT, cut the crap about Denzel. He's good, but not but not a perfect fit as McGee is. We really don't need another guy who can shoot the lights out at the perimeter, we need an intimidating presence inside. McGee's the guy for the job.

Oh yeah, and tell SMC to loan their players to the national team, rather than talking crap about a team who didn't attend the PBA All-Star Weekend because of playing all year long due to their commitment to the national team.

    2. Actually Petron at B-Meg fans lang ang hater ng Talk n Text. Ginebra fans hate Petron for getting all the star players they want.

    3. Actually the rest of the teams in the PBA hate SMC's guts for trying to dictate every major decision of the PBA board. Oh wait, Barako Bull and Air 21 are "honorary" SMC teams too, hehehe.

  6. Perfect fit nga si Mcgee sa National team no doubt about that. But from my prospective wala pa din tayong maabot kung walang unity tayong mga Pilipino. Its not about the PBA its about the Country, the Flag,and the Filipino Pride. Lahat ng lumahok na players sa All Stars lalong lalo na ung mga San Miguel Corporation players, wala silang mga kwenta lalong lalo na si james yap na nakapagtala ng 44 point, ginawa nya yun para sa kanyang sarili hindi para sa fans. Fans will be more happier if he wear the banners color, at kung ang kalaban nila eh hindi kapwa pilipino. Fight for the country not for San Miguel Corporation!

    1. Kung maka-score si James Yap ng 44 points laban sa China, Iran, Korea at Jordan, bibilib pa ako sa kanya.

    2. Imagine kung si Mcgee ung center natin, tapos yung sobrang bibilis na guards natin aaligid-aligid, takbo ng takbo, shooters on the ready, potek... mababaliw ung China sa atin!!! Makakaganti na rin tayo sa mga Intsik-beho na yun na walang alam kundi angkinin ang hindi kanila, SMC lang tlga, shit.

    3. Paborito nang motto ng SMC ngayon ang "It is better to receive than to give". Pagdating ng 2013 nyan sila pa unang magkukumahog para makuha ang mga amateur players ng Smart-Gilas 2.0 pati na mga young PBA players na gumaling nang masali sa Gilas 2.0 program. Proof? Nakanino ba sina Chris Lutz at Marcio Lassiter ngayon? Next in line pa nyan si JV Casio.

    1. Huwag din po nating kalimutan na nilampaso si Bowles one-on-one ni Earl Barron sa PBA, a guy who spends more time in the NBDL than in the NBA while the likes of Haddadi and Yi can't even lace McGee's shoes up in the NBA.

  9. I agree with you! We really don't need another guy who can shoot the lights out at the perimeter, we need an intimidating presence inside.
