THERE?S a terror threat in Philippine basketball, advised a respected sports authority, whose identity will have to be kept for the moment, as we start running a revealing conversation in the name of peace in Philippine sports.
Please share the alarming details, which had been kept from the public.
?The threat comes in the operation of the defunct Basketball Association of the Philippines (BAP). This is anomalous,? opens the highly reliable source.
How come, sir?
?Despite the decisions of the Supreme Court and the international body for sports arbitration declaring the illegality of the BAP--and vesting the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) with the sole right to manage Philippine basketball-- the BAP persists as if they still are legit.?
**
What happened, sir?
? It?s clearly terroristic how the disgraced BAP continues in organizing and officiating basketball tournaments which Graham Lim and other Binondo syndicates do at the shame and embarassment of our country.?
Please explain further, sir.
?The disgraced BAP formed and named its own team, the University of Visayas, to the Univesiade in Russia last year.?
What went wrong, sir?
?That bogus national team lost all its games by an average of more than 50 points per game.?
**
What?s your recommendation, sir?
?We must join hands to stop the impunity and terrorism in Philippine basketball.?
What is the SBP doing?
?Manny V. Pangilinan, SBP president, himself e-mailed saying that the ?BAP are the terrorists of Philippine basketball.?
(This conversation will be resumed in the next column and will identify the head of disgraced BAP, ?a lawmaker who?s at the same time a basketball outlaw.?)
