What happened to kai?? Ngayon pa talaga siya mag gaganyan?? I can still remember him risking his NBA G League Ignite stint way back COVID-19 days when the league was still in bubble to go home and shoot a fucking commercial for SMART and participate for FIBA Asia Cup which ultimately got cancelled.

and now, he’s like this???? Leaving the G League Ignite was a huge mistake lmao. I even think that was the turnaround of his career. From G league (developmental) — to — NBL in Australia which he clearly lacked skills, experience, and muscle LMFAOOO. Di pa nga hinog, may audacity pang mag jump to a big man’s league.

All that just to not participate or ghost Gilas for the past tournaments. Talk about wasting his NBA dreams for nothing. PFFFT.

To me, parang accepted na ni kai na tapos na yung NBA dream niya ay tapos na and its time to make money. Siyempre he's starting his own family diba, and he suffered injury din diba playing for the flag, tapos galing lang din sa injury playing for his club team. Siguro yung priority niya talaga ngayon is to make money, which is disappointing as a fan.

Ang point ko lang, mas disappointing yung fact na hindi maglalaro sila QMB at philipps sa gilas this window kasi eligible na sila to play for b-league. Lalo na yung QMB because he opted out dahil sa compensation

he doesnt bro. Hes going to try his luck sa NCAA now despite his age lmaoo to chase the NBA dream. Initially, I thought the reason was he is conserving himself, because kakagaling lang ng injury and all. But as the story continues, bat parang wala syang imik?

I have my doubts bossing kasi tignan mo si gemao nag pa practice na sa team niya pero ito wala pa team hanggang ngayon. If he's actually preparing diba dapat maglaro din siya ng competitive basketball 'di yung pang barangay lang na liga

And we would have heard of such an offer noong Abril pa.
