Philippines To Host 2013 FIBA Asia?

MVP is at it again.

After bringing world-class basketball to the Philippines in the form of the Smart All-Stars, he is now hard at work in bringing the best of Asian basketball to Manila.

MVP, in a conversation with FIBA officials during the just concluded Fiba Asia Championships, bared plans to bid for the FIBA Asia Championships in 2013, a qualifying tournament for the FIBA World Championships in 2014 that will be hosted by Spain.

MVP also revealed some thoughts he had on roster formation, saying that Gilas will take a look at bigger guards, to offset our height liabilities. This might mean tapping more Fil-Ams to join the team as tall homegrown guards are hard to find.
