I just wanna share this idea by jj from pacland.
What's your take on this ibn?

If RP wants to be competitive in basketball in the long haul, PBA should ammend their rules to allow naturalized players to enter the draft and allow each team to recruit 2 naturalized players. This way, philippines will be able to bring in good talents from around the world that will likely raise the level of the game in the country. If they have a long term contract, their residency in the country will be established. If their services is needed for national team, there will be a wide variety of talents to choose from, and their residency won't be an issue with OCA. If they decide to have a family in RP, their athletic genes will sprwad across the Islands and the midget pinoys will evolve in size comparable to the rest of the world.
The reason people who are born in a larger country that is connected to other countries by land are bigger and taller, is because they have a more diversified gene pool. Those genetic traits that are genetically superior tends to have a better chance to survive and be able to breed. These advantageous genetic trait will be passed on to the next generation, and what you see now inthem is the result of that.
In an island like Philippines, the gene pool is less diversified coz the land area are smaller and are separated by waters. They don't have survival competition other than their own kind, so they breed with similar genetic traits and genetic changes will not likely to take place.
In modern times, diversity usually happens in a major city. This explains why Manila college teams are much taller than the rest of the country. No wonder why Chinas has much taller players than Taiwan or Japan.
We now have the knowledge to.manipulate our genetic pool to evolve into a better athlete suited for basketball,but we have to change our attitude and make up our fuckin mind.
We love basketball right? So bring in the fuckin best talent in thr world if possible and let their athletic gene pool melt with the rest of the country. Hanging on to that midget pinoy gene pool that resulted from displaced patriotism is not the way to go for a brighter basketball future and the rest of RP sports.
