THE EMOTION FROM SHOHEI INJECT THIS INTO THE TEAM

The PBA confuses the hell out of me. It's like a mishmash of NBA + FIBA rules. It's 12-minute quarters but has none of the NBA's other rules such as defensive three seconds or players being able to call timeouts. Its three-point line is FIBA, and so is its jump-ball situations (i.e., uses possession arrow). It also has something neither the NBA or FIBA has: a 4-point line. In a league not known for its world-class distance shooting. It's trying to be its own identity, but in the process is left with having an extremely confused identity. No wonder it's being left behind by the rest of the world, among other reasons.

Russell Westbrook is gone. D-Wade is gone. Duncan is gone. Dwight is gone. T-Mac is gone. Pierce is gone. Manu is gone. Shaq is gone. Nash is gone. Melo is gone. Kidd is gone. CP3 is gone. Dirk is gone. Ray is gone. Yao is gone. KG is gone. AI is gone. Your childhood is over.
