 So what is the scenario? 


First, China is hosting the Olympics in 2008. This means they will likely be seeded to the men’s basketball event, and will not need to qualify. Secondly, China is actually in a position to help the Philippines. If they place sixth or higher in the World Basketball Championships, Asia will be rewarded with a third slot in 2008.

Para kay Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) commissioner Jun Bernardino, ang ikaapat na all-pro squad na sasabak sa Asiad ay nananatili pa ring major contender para sa gold medal kahit na wala na si Danny Seigle.


Nasabi ito ni Bernardino dahil mayroon itong dalawang rason, una ay naniniwala ito sa kakayahan ng Fil-Am reinforced team at ang isa pa ay laganap ngayon ang upset sa mundo ng basketball.


Malay natin, baka mangyari din ito sa Busan, South Korea.
