PBA legend Mon Fernandez sees no need for naturalized player
Hiring NBA players for the national team might do more harm than good to Philippine basketball, according to PBA legend Ramon Fernandez.
In an interview with Spinph’s Snow Badua, the retired PBA star said the acquisition of NBA players Javale McGee and Andray Blatche could rob local cagers of opportunities to flourish in the international stage.
"Mawawalan lang ng opportunity ang mga kababayan natin dyan," said “El Prisidente.” "'Yung experience na ma-gain ng kababayan natin sa mga international tournaments like the world championships, 'yun ang mas importante sa akin!"
