What is with the roll call? The RP mens basketball team had a tough time in the Iran meet, especially with teams who had imports, but maybe other teams are also wondering how come the RP team seems as if it has a lot of imports too. The first group of names mentioned are either half blooded or hold dual citizenships. The second group are the home grown talents. The third group also sounds foreign. Gabe Norwood has not even played in any Philippine league yet.

Desperate times call for desperate measures perhaps. An Olympic ticket at all costs.
