we started with lebanon, qatar naturalizing players. now jordan entered the line. FIBA asia will find a quick solution to this,because many nations will protest bout it.this wont continue...

the national team should represent the school of lebanese basketball. the current "lebanese" national team says nthg about lebanese basketball level.

sev, do you know that many european nations have one nationalised player
in their ranks? if these countries which are very advanced in the game of
basketball use the system to boost their ranks and nationalise a player
then why shouldnt Lebanon do it too?

Since 10 years now Lebanese basketball reached new levels in success that
no other arab country reached, that didnt happen because we had Joe Vogel
in our ranks but players like Rony Fahed, Fadi el Khatib, Elie Mchantaf, Yasser
el Hajj along with Joe Vogel and many others. Could we have done it without
any of those? surely not, the sport got better and produced the likes of them
and will always do as long as we succeed on the national level.

there is too much difference between europe and asia. in europe naturalized player doesnt have much impact because the level of naturalized player or european player is around the same. even many european players are some of the best in nba..
And some of the naturalized players in europe made their game in the country they naturalized.

asia aint the same. one naturalized player makes a difference of 25 - 30 points on any team.And they never made their game in asia.

lebanon in 1999 played without vogel and had most of the lebanese players u named. they finished 7th. couldnt beat kuwait. beat syria by one point.

We should start naturalizing a striker in football. a guy who can put 3 - 4 goals on nations in asia. we can start saying our football is one of the best in asia.

You guys are pathetic. You should consider checking the real nationality of players like:

1. Ibrahimovic (my fav striker): father Bosnian, mother Croatian, plays in Sweden's starting 11.

2. Camoranesi: Argentinian, plays in Italy's starting 11. (World Champions)

3. Deco: Brazilian, plays in Portugal's starting 11.

4. Eduardo: Brazilian, plays in Croatia's starting 11.

Give us a break and stop whining.

Go Lebanon, we are proud of you. We proved we were the better team today. Let us hope we make history again tomorrow.
