OT: PBA officially adopts four-point shot for next season

In one of its major innovations for its coming Season 49, the Philippine Basketball Association will be adopting the four-point shot beginning this Governors' Cup for shots beyond a new arc 27 feet from the basket.

Newly-elected chairman Ricky Vargas said the four-point shot is among several rule changes approved by the board on the first day of its planning session at the Swissotel Nankai in Osaka. An arc measuring 27 feet will be put on the court during games. The three-point line, which measures 23 feet, will stay.

I can understand having this as a gimmick for three-point shootouts like in the NBA All-Star three-point contest, which has the Starry ball positioned 30 feet away from the basket. But in actual regular season or playoff games? Wala naman yatang Steph Curry sa PBA

PBA is a dying sport na, introducing a 4 point shot will not salvage it’s losing
Viewership. One obvious reason for it’s demise is the fact that ginebra, purefoods
And san miguel belongs to one owner, swapping coaches and players between
This three teams  became obvious without much opposition. Such unfair advantages
Turned off a lot of fans.
Ill even go as far as saying there is a possible scenario where one of these teams
Allowed one another to win a championship.

Free throw sa top of the key for 1.5 point each 🤣

USA vs Germany  Friendly Game ..post ko lang yung comment haha

LeBron refused to let Germany win just like Captain America would

[thebat]

Sorry to compare the Dream Team vs this team. Yung dream team lahat dun ang tatapang mangagat. Walang mabait dun except si Magic siguro. Kaya intimidation factor pa lang tapos na laban. Yung team kse ngayon ang lalambot na eh. Wala ka naman kakatakutan sa rambol sa mga yan.

I wouldnt be surprised kung matalo sila sa basketball olympics despite their all stars level.

[noob]

the rest of the world is catching up..

[edboy7]

After the watching highlights .. Solid yung Germany .. Galing ni Thiess .. dapat bigyan ng Redhorse! Haha

Yup, iba yung basketball ngayon kesa nung panahon ni MJ, gumaling na yung ibang countries lalo na yung mga nasa Europe. Kahit sa NBA yung mga previous MVPs hindi na Kano.

Pansin ko lang pag magaling sa tres ang kalaban ng USA hirap na hirap sila.

[noob]

naaral na laro ng mga kano..  kita laro nila sa nba..

[thebat]

Tres lang talaga susi.
Kaya nga ang dapat i-adapt ng Gilas ay yung all 5 positions nakaka tres. The Celtics adapted this kaya ayun... nag champion.

Yung 2 close wins vs USA team all because of their 3s. Kaya pag overly swerte sa 3 ang isang team kayang kaya talunin tong US team na mahina sa perimeter defense.

Sana gumaling ang mga Pinoy sa 3s lalo na magkakaroon na ng 4s ;-).

[Own7]

Dapat na talagang itigil ang term na -world champion sa nba. Parang
Insulto na ito sa ibang bansa baka mag reklamo sudan😅

[synchro_01]

Steph and Lebron are both there....they would not allow a bridesmaid finish.  This is their last chance in representing the country.  They will see it through.

Agree...rebounding and the three point shot puts the odds heavily in one's favor.  Dun lang sa Sudan game hirap sila outbox yung mga players ng Sudan.  The players are extra motivated to beat the US kasi it's also an audition for scouts....any player can be called upon to play in the NBA.

grabe si Tatang, all out power talaga para sa kinabukasan ni Prince Bronny

the more nba players on the opposing teams the easier for team usa to handle the game, it seems

NBA, Disney/ESPN/ABC Renew Broadcast Deal; NBC Returns While Amazon Prime Video Poised to Replace WB Discovery/TNT

The NBA has signed its 11-year media rights deal with Disney, NBC and Amazon Prime Video after saying it was not accepting Warner Bros. Discovery's $1.8 billion per year offer to continue its longtime relationship with the league.

WBD had five days to match a part of those deals and said it was exercising its right to do so, but its offer was not considered a true match by the NBA. That means the 2024-25 season will be the last for TNT after a nearly four-decade run -- though not long after the NBA signing was announced, WBD said it would take "appropriate action" and said it believes the NBA has to accept its offer.

Highlights:



* Beginning with the 2025-26 season, Disney's package of NBA games will also be available to stream on its digital platforms, including on Disney+ in select markets around the world.

* Amazon Prime Video will also take over the NBA League Pass package from WBD.

After the announcement, NBC released this teaser with their NBA theme from the 80s and 90s. Classic!

====

These changes won’t really affect the availability of the games here in the PH via streaming and the NBA Philippines TV channel. But I look forward to watching and listening to new TV commentators and analysts from NBC and Amazon Prime (good riddance to Reggie Miller, I hope). I will miss “Inside the NBA” though.

I also hope Amazon Prime can still improve the NBA League Pass experience.

yung CROATIA ngayon rank 30 nalng sa FIBA rankings. buong mundo nag eevolve ang basketball. tayo lang ang paurong.. ngayon nalang ulit medyo nakakabangon.

kaya kung same line up ng 1992 dream team vs sa mga world teams ngayon mahihirapan din sila.  tinalo nga sila ng college team eh.

[synchro_01]

Ironically, it was the 92 Dream Team that opened the eyes of many youngsters about basketball....all over the world.

It became the catalyst for organized Basketball in many countries.

Weird lang kasi dito sa atin eh may high level organized basketball leagues na tayo noon pa.  Pro and amateur leagues at that.  We never improved when stacked up against other countries.

[VenoM_Unleashed]

Naalala ko pa si MJ at Pippen pinagtulungan si Kukoc, eh ngayon dami ng NBA players sa isang team na makakalaban nila

[synchro_01]

The best barometer is this.....It's been 6 years since the last US born player won the NBA MVP.

kaya hindi nag improve ang pinoy eh ginagaya kasi natin ang laro sa NBA pero pinoys are not as athletic as the americans. dapat eh ala euroleague basketball ang ginaya natin. nuon pa lang pinakita na ng South Koreans na dapat madaming shooters sa team, pero tayo ang gusto eh puro one on one ala MJ/ NBA.

Naalala nyo ba yung Philippine Team nila Jaworski? Philippines at the 1990 Asian Games? We nearly came to a Gold natalo lang tayo sa powerhouse China and settled for Silver. Ang galing nung team na yun simply because of our 3 point shooting especially The Triggerman Allan Caidic who was a markman to all Asian basketball teams. And madaming nag te-tres sa team na yun.

We need more like an Allan Caidic in our Philippine basketball team moving forward. All 5 positions. More importantly, dapat bawal mag miss ng freethrows ang players natin especially the big ones.

nag iimprove naman tayo.. sadyang maliliit lang talaga tayo.

Results quantify the improvement.  When was the last time we did well in an International Basketball Tournament?

Genes as they say. others say the nutrition. pero wa-le talaga even how hard the training program is. Still waiting for the day that a pure born filipino here gets to play in the NBA.

Ako I believe that this can/will happen.  Yun lang eh that player should study in the US and play in the NCAA for him to get noticed.  Pag dito lang na develop and sa PBA lang maglalaro eh malabo makuha sa NBA.

Pang romansa lang talaga build ng mga pilipino, hindi pang nba..
