why was johnny abarrientos not able to play in the nba?

[christorrea]

Because he's from the Philippines.

kerby raymundo was once scouted by representatives from nba asia and it was in the nba mock draft website. he was scouted along with the likes of tony parker. i can't ind that website anymore but i'm not joking on this one though.

[spongklong]

^^i think it was in the nbadraftexpress

[jazzper]

Because Johnny is so small for a point guard and his counterpart are stronger and quicker.

he can't dunk

Mahirap maka pasok sa nba, talent alone will not guarantee to you a contract. Look at those chinese and japanese players, they might be lording it here in asia pero pag dating dun lalamyalamya laro nila di sila nabibigyan ng playing time.
Si Yao Ming kung hindi lang yan 7foot plus hanggang asia lang yan.
magkaka roon din ng pinoy na nba player in the near future and that's for sure. meron tayo lahat pwera lang sa height. hehe

tama height lang kulang satin pero talent marami.... Tingnan mo si allan Caidic hindi pa rin nawawala *** shooting niya....

Proper training lang kelangan sa Philippines....

This is quite confusing.

You said that HEIGHT is the only thing lacking with Filipino players. You expressly stated that talent-wise, we aren't that far behind. Then immediately, you'll say that Filipino ballers need proper training?!

If height is the only issue, it will not be cured by proper training as the latter addresses issues regarding talent.

di kaya marketing stategy(NBA) lang nila iyon ...para dumami manood ng NBA sa Asia particular sa Philippines

siempre ikaw ba naman ..kababayan mo makakapasok sa NBA na

[gonefishing]

it's all business for Yao Ming, NBA wanted to tap the big market of China.

as for PBA players playing for NBA team, I don't think so, mayayabang lang ang mga pinoy pinipiit na talent wise eh at par tayo kulang lang daw sa height , come on give me a break.

ang talent ng PBA players pang PBA lang no PBA player can even dominate Asian basketball what more NBA?

mmmmm....Philippine basketball doesn't revolved aroung PBA only, ok?

[Aces_21]

Kawawa naman Pilipinas... kung si Johnny A nga na napakagaling eh hindi nakatapak ng NBA paano pa kaya *** mga PBA players ngayon?? tsk tsk...

doesn't matter, no PBA player can ever play in the NBA.

Talent, plain and simple. We don't have enough talent to make/compete in the NBA. There's so much surplus talent in the US that even their scrubs can make it good in the PBA but not make in it the NBA.

talent i really think johnny a's talent hindi pa pang nba, he's my fave point guard in the pba, pero sa tingin ko kahit sa europe o asia pa lang mahihirapan na siya, sa nba pa kaya

may nagsabi nga noon, na ang unang pilipino sa nba ay hindi dapat point guard, kasi kung ang pilipinas ay guard factory, mas lalo din daw sa US
