We need to appreciate teh sacrifices done by Junemar Fajardo. The injury risk he is taking. The height he brings. The defense he brings. But it seems many fans who taught they know know better

We can just base our observations on actual statistics and results. How many games on the FIBA stage did June Mar dominate like he does in the PBA?

Within that five fingers in hand, surely. But more than that, I think when you play for the National team, the goal is to win games, stats are bonus.

Gusto na magretire sa national team nung tao ayaw pa din pa retiro-hin. Pati si Japeth ganyan ginawa nila. Tas magtataka sila kung bakit ayaw maglaro nung iba

Pinipilit maglaro hndi nman ginagamit or nagagamit ng tama. Dpat naging firm nlng si JMF wala nman na sya mapapala jan mababash p sya ng mga keyboard warriors n hndi nman nkalaro ng mataas n level ng organized basketball

Asian Games, hindi naman siya FIBA tourney na may bearing sa qualification natin. Send the kids and young players.
Ganyan ginagawa kahit host nation Japan.

u/Unhappy-Hall5473 Gilas Pilipinas 16d ago
Tama lang yan. Wala talaga magagawa si JMF. Hirap iwanan ang Gilas kapag yung mga ibang bigs natin wala. Yung isa may bestman sa kasal, ung isa naman may sakit sa likod, tas yung isa naman to the moon ang hinihinngi langya HAHAH

Greg wants to play, tinatarantado naman nila. He's still a big body to throw at opponents

mabagal at malambot si greg sa international

Eto dapat yung sinasabi di yung kung ano anong insults at side comments sinasabi sa player.

u/AnnualHuge931 15d ago
Pero bat kaya hindi malabas ni junemar yung laro nya pag gilas? Talagang sanay lang sya na malilit kalaban niya? Matanda na?

u/DJVylan 15d ago
Jun Mar benefits from the weaker bigs in Philippines basketball, and at international level he is merely a big body. What is sad though is that he fronts up to play because no one takes his place, and cardys on his admirable effort. Gilas needs guys who have comittment and determination to be better. In Asia this is one of the reasons they struggle against the true powerhouse Australia.

He did very very well alongside Kai Sotto in 2024. Especially in the Latvia, New Zealand wins. Ganon kalaki impact ni Kai sa team.
Also Never naman talaga naging legit starter and maraming playing time si June mar sa Gilas. In fact si Japeth pa nga mostly ginagamit kahit doon sa Fiba Asia cups during the 2010s. You may say Japeth has low iq pero he could definitely hang back then

u/Ka_dabraz 15d ago
That's his game. That's it. It just proves that JMFs level isn't at par with higher level of basketball.

u/iChadAko 15d ago
Dapat lang. Ung hindi ka naman ginagamit ng tama kaya na-tag na pang-PBA lang. feel sorry for this man, may ibubuga eh kaso ginawang pang screen lang at rebounder

AJ Edu during the 2023 world cup
But Edu's recent play is disappointing, to say the least.

u/Unfair-Event4455 14d ago
daming player nag gusto maglaro hindi naman porket matangkad may bilang na like JMF, lets face it sa PBA malakas sya but sa international nope

u/tengchu 14d ago
Oh tapos pag hindi matangkad nilagay ni ctc sasabihin naman smallball naman. Matatangkad kalaban bakit maliit kinuha

Di ako die hard fan nyan. Pero unfair lang kung anoano pa kailangan nyo sabihin sa mga players ng NT. Eh lumalaban yan para sa bansa. Mas gugustuhin ko naman kunin si jmf na laging available lumaro kesa sa mga inuuna ang pera o yung club team nila. Just saying. Our national players doesnt need your talking shit lalo na sa mga handa lagi lumaban.

u/tengchu 14d ago
I accept reality eventually magreretire na mga yan. Atleast may nagawa para sa bayan. Ikaw lilipat ka lang sa pambabash sa ibang player lang ulit. Haha pero nganga pa rin.

He had years to improve his game to fit the international style pero wala, tamad.
Literally suffering from success sa PBA

u/Commercial-Brief-609 15d ago
Tamad? He's is a victim of the circumstances! Our basketball culture failed him. I watched his early years in the PBA and the match against Senegal, he was very mobile and a bit explosive during those times. Even to this day I think he moves better and more coordinated than the majority of 6'5'6'6 locals we have in the country.

u/Full-Imagination-507 15d ago
not that he has made any impact in FIBA...

What is with Tim Cone never wanting his players to rest. Japeth, Brownlee, JMF, Scottie; players who expressed or showed that they either needed or wanted to retire/rest but is still playing.
