Current BAsketball Players that can be good at Track and Field

[michaelb]

Ok folks, due to our debacle in Beijing, can you spot a NCAA basketball player that can be good at other sports such as Track and Field. Let's face it not all of them are PBA Material, they might be convinced to switch to other discipline andwin 15M probably 20M in London Olympics. SInce most of you watch it live, you will know who can run the fastest (ala James Yap)

si Baby Shaq Taganas, sa shotput.

[michaelb]

pwede si Baby Shaq kaya lang di pakukuha nang Red Lions yan.Pero baka pwede i try. Kumbinsihin na lang na wala syang magpro dahil mabagal sya. 6'3"" power forward e 6'7"na mga PF ngayon.
Red Lions attention baka pwede i cross train to.*okay*

[st_ang3r]

yung MIT may 6'6" sa shotput...

[andyknight18]

^^ given proper training added on his athleticism taganas can dominate on track!! maning mani lang ang shotput, javelin, and discuss sa kanya!!:D

sama nyo na rin si kojak para sa hurdles and high jump!*okay*

[michaelb]

Gents,

Now we are going somewhere, just keep your ideas coming baka may mapulot ang Sport Officials dito. Baby Shaq can be good as a shotput athlete. Madami pa namang malalaki sa SanBeda.

Dear BAby Shaq Taganas

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BAby,

I've seen your game sa YOUTUBE nga lang overseas ako eh. Magaling ka me size and heft. Youre name came out sa thread that I started, pwede ka raw sa shotput. Why not give it a try. Konting time lang siguro kailangan. Hiramin ang Shotput sa Gym nang Beda, punta sa Field and give it a strong heave. MAlay mo may ibubuga ka don. BAsketball I know is youre life but how about etching youre name in people's memory like De Vega, DelPrado and maybe PACMAN himself.
Benefits:
PAsyal sa lahat nang ASEAn countries
ASIAN Countries probably OLYMPICS (wildcard entry)
one more thing that youre going to like is you can eat more and you don't have toloose weight just turn it into muscle (read from GAMEFACE that you like eating)
BAsketball hindi sa minamata kita sa Height mo baka Liga nang Pilipinas ang bagsak mo Pero magaling ka kulang lang sa Height.
Playing for Philippines is bigger than NCAA and San Beda combined.
WHat's youre take on it NCAA people specially Bedista

PRO MAterial din ba si KOjak Melegrito. Kung hindi baka pwede syang magswitch nang sports. Daming nasasayang na talent kasi.

[michaelb]

yung MIT may 6'6" sa shotput...

Totoo ba to? Can you please post his name and profile. I think this guy deserve a thread here para maglamorize naman sya at lalong ganahan sa Sports nya. Puro basket ball player na lang kasi me sariling thread karamihan bansot at kampag pa.

Sya ba yung high scoring guard nang Stags? malapit na yatang magraduate toits. Paging PATAFA pwede na sa Hurdles to. Training kay Del Prado then to US might be attractive for him, unless he thinks he is a PBA material.

[wulpgang]

pa extra ***,
si james yap mabilis tumakbo. pwede sa 100m dash **** may hurdles pa.
hehehe peace!

Quick fix lang ang pag-convert ng basketball players into track and field players. Una, ibang-iba ang style ng running sa sprints compared to a normal basketball fastbreak. Sa sprints kasi, it's somewhat similar to kicking outward then following through. Madaling madulas kaya naka-spikes dapat.

Second, mas maganda kung pagbuhusan ng pera at panahon ang pag-identify ng mga manlalaro habang bata pa sila. Halimbawa, paano kung meron kang bata (and I mean, 15-below) na malaki ang katawan, malakas bumato ng bola, pero takot makipagbalyhan sa shaded lane? Simple. Kunin mo bilang discus thrower, or taga-shot put. Eric Suguitan was a star spiker for the UE Squires before he went to SBC. The list goes on.

Kailangan talaga ang isang long-term program para sa lahat ng sports, hindi lang basketball o track and field.
