lebanese basketball isnt good enough..


actually basketball in the arab world and asia is a joke..
its just about naturalizing players and play them(jordan,qatar,lebanon..).... rare are the countries like iran/china who do not nautralize and play great basketball

They do it in football too, and in politics.
It is all about Machiavellic winning...

every team has the right of naturalizing a player!We have a lack in position 5 so whe use this right to get a player!
I'm putting my face in a player named Elie Haber so if he gets the proper training and attention he could be a great player and we wont need to naturalize a player anymore since his height is 2.18m

news:It seems that Barbour will not join our NT

how old is Elie now? dont you think its too late for him to elevate to a much

better level? Where is Joe Vogel he doesnt seem to be in the line up?


Bad news about barbour though, he is an exceptional player.

where are Rony Fahed, Ali Mahmoud, Fadi el Khatib and the other great players?

tsunami27, they are lebanese products ... they stay bench or home...

just naturalize players, and play under the name of lebanon..

this is why basketball also lost alot of popularity.. in the past People used to watch sagesse winning arab championship by one foreigner + all lebanese...
now u watch arab championship, they play with 3 foreigners + naturalized players ( jordan, lebanon..) .. egyptians gave up participating as well...

sev there's only one naturalised player, I think he plays position 5. We've
always had a problem in getting a good player at this position, thats
why Joseph Vogel was naturalised years ago, and now the new guy.
the new players are all of Lebanese origin. As for the foreigners in the league,
I think they cut it down to two per team now, which is not bad at all.

Basketball started dropping in popularity since Riyadi bought all Champville
players in one year and became undefeatable. It was very unfair to the
other teams who didnt have the same budger as Riyadis. They literally
killed the competition by this move.
