Bertans’ NBA Downfall: A Filipino Factor?

The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) has been making waves in the basketball world, and recent developments have sparked discussions about the potential impact of Filipino talent on international players.

One such story involves former NBA player Davis Bertans. After being outplayed by young Filipino players during a game against Gilas Pilipinas, Bertans has decided to sign a contract with BC Dubai, a EuroLeague team that also features Filipino import Thirdy Ravena.

This move has led to speculation that Bertans’ poor performance against Gilas Pilipinas may have contributed to his NBA downfall. While there are likely other factors at play, it’s undeniable that the rising level of Filipino basketball talent has been making a significant impact on the international stage.

Another recent example is the PBA team Magnolia Hotshots’ decision to replace their underperforming import Glenn Robinson III with former NBA player Shabazz Muhammad. However, Muhammad was unable to play in a game against Meralco due to clearance issues from his previous team in Venezuela.

This incident highlights the growing popularity of Filipino basketball players and the increasing demand for their skills in international leagues. As Filipino players continue to excel on the global stage, it’s clear that their impact on the game is only going to grow.
