Because you’re a casual. You don’t even know how the sport of boxing works with the wights. You know who dominates lower weight classes? Asian countries. What’s one of those Asian countries? Japan. Search up how many world champions they have in all of boxing
If they are specifically recruiting height outliers and then putting them in basketball camps from a young age, they are more than likely poorly socialized in general. Also, not sure how many of them are single children but there are studies on how the best athletes tend to be younger siblings. If you grow up in a single child household you don’t get the benefit of the constant competition, cooperation, socialization, conflict management, etc, you get from having a sibling. Also, when you have an older aibling you get the advantage of learning from their mistakes and adopting their skills earlier than they did.
I've never seen Team China play but imma just assume they don't play as a team. Chinese fans idolizes players like Kobe and James Harden, 2 heavy iso players. They have to play Team Basketball like the 2014 Spurs. If they just assume getting tall guys equals winning basketball thats why they lose
This is not true. It's actually more of the opposite. Chinese fans don't become national team players , so who they like is irrelevant. I think the relative lack of passion is the key. A lot of Chinese players suffer from the Yi Jian lian syndrome. Yi was athletic, could shoot, was very strong. But he couldn't quite put it all together to be a great player. That's where passion would've filled the gaps and refined his game to be great.
Lol literally the opposite, they have no one who guard or wing who can defend and create offence when a set play is broken, even their naturalized player is more a team player than an individualistic one
Ccomes down to socio economics and cultural discipline. 50/50. Japan have had several generations of stable standard of living...where you can focus on your dreams. Then culturally, they promote strict discipline in reaching your dreams. Its very simple. This is it. Its why they excel at many many many things. I used to say..."Japanese bite but they at least bite right." They go haaard into the discipline of deep study into their passions. Deep, bruh ..deep. They have won 1st place in more underground things like international salsa dance, salsa music, jamaican ragga dance queens, ska music battles, DMC DJ battle compeitions, among all the other commercial accolades. They go deep. To the point of moving to the country to study and learn. They even have cholos in LA that are pretty well respected! You cant get to that level unless your society is stable. You wont go as hard or deep unless you have the passion and discipline to take the sacrifice for your dream. Japan has that perfect mix.
"Japan have had several generations of stable standard of living." this is it. Countries like the Philippines have other problems to care about. They dont have the money to invest in sports or supporting athletes. I'm sure if they had the money, development would become priority and they would do well too. They have the passion for the sport but no support in place.
@@anthonyhoang5902 i agree. Filipinos have the ability to be great in basketball, but unfortunately too short for the sport, had it been football/soccer as the main focus there would be good amount of filipinos playing in the European football leagues right now. Just look at brazil and argentina, same socio-economic and not considerably tall like philippines, yet they dominate in football sports.
On the other hand, China is a couple of generations behind Japan in terms of socioeconomic stability. So the Chinese still feel forced into things they don't care about, based on their supposed talents when younger. IMO, the Asians will eventually catch up to the Americans and the Europeans in sports, but the catch is that it's also dependent on whether the Japanese and the Chinese are still willing to have babies and children. If birth rates continue to fall, neither the Japanese nor the Chinese will ever really catch up, and all that's left is just a little haughty Asian pride.
@@aedaed3605Japan's already caught up to Europe/Americans since the 1980s. In terms of economic complexity Japan is first in the world. (There are unthinkable amount of successful micro-niche industries in Japan, way more than even Europe or US). Basketball is one of Japan's worst sports because it's very reliant on height.

Because of politics within the Philippine federation. We had an experienced coach and concurrent program director who had a great program and basketball system but the basketball gods of the Philippines unceremoniously replaced him because they don't like a foreign coach for the world cup team. We almost beat Serbia with him with college players at the time.

I am in Manila right now and watched Gilas 3 times. They finally going to have a new coach which is Tim Cone for the Asian Games. Korea & Japan has allowed Filipino imports to play in their leagues. I cover a lot of these flipino players in Korea. The PBA is kind of a joke because 2 corporations run the league. Regards to Manny Pacquiao has his own league and going strong for 5 years now. It has 29 teams and it will resume after world cup. The EASL is going to have 2 kbl 2 b league 2 pba 2 taiwanese leagues. Rhenz Abando I have met and is a very humble guy. I was at his championship game in korea when they won in 7 games.
It's long past time for China to really reform and rethink their sports programs. Their emphasis on physical/athletic attributes is overly logical to the point where a lot of talent is discouraged. Their recent basketball and soccer performances are big indicators of need of change
@@edwardtimothy3581 I don't have magical answers but for starters, China should choose and develop players who tactically views the game on advanced level, not just athletics. Also, the youth teams should be used to develop players and explore player pool, not just focused on winning
The Philippine team was really competitive on all the losses they had. Was the system the coach run an issue? Was the coach unable to do on the fly adjustments? Yes and Yes.
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 they can win but would be a little harder. Remember that the Philippine team has already beaten China before. Like I said, the issue was not the players but the system the implemented during the World Cup.
Firstly, the foreign players you are talking about are half Filipino. Secondly, Clarkson is part Filipino also so you can’t say they are recruiting foreigners. In all honesty, both Japan and now China (with Kyle Anderson) recruited foreign players but hell, almost all Asian teams are doing it (just tale a look at the Cambodian national team for the best example of this). No hate for both teams here. Just stating the obvious here.
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 and why can’t China adopt that mentality of recruiting half Chinese players abroad to play for their team if that loophole is already there from the start? Nothing wrong with getting full blooded players from within your country but isn’t it more of a waste to not get half blood players from other countries that can and will elevate your team to be better if the local talent seems to be lacking as of the moment?
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 all I can say is that both teams underperformed and we are seeing on team being stagnant and one Asian basketball powerhouse regressing real quick. One having leadership problem and the other failing to produce players that love the game of basketball.
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 Oh by the way, isn’t it a little racist to exclude those half blooded Chinese players to play for your national team even if some of them are better players than your locally developed players?
You not wrong. But also to add filipinos are just short in general. Im America Filipino demographic population is almost the same as black americans here and large amount of filipinos tryout for organized basketball here, but unfortunately too short from what ive seen.
@@zoan23456 we see adequate height in the PBA. You have Kai Sotto that a seven footer. Height is not the problem its the system in which we train these young talents. We lack the organizational system that picks these kids up at young age and guide them well through out the process thats why we don't see them succeed in high level basketball
I don't think it's necessarily a national sports system issue where you can say there is a clear system that succeeds. Sometimes it just boils down to just having one or two outstanding players on a team or an outstanding coach at a particular moment in time. In other words, luck, more or less. The top 4-5 men'sAsian teams might be trading places in ranking over a 10 year period. Now, if you say one of those teams can beat euro league level teams consistently then that's a different thing.
Japan is in their golden era, but it's not fair to say China sucks. A team is only as good as the talent available to them. When china had Yao, Yi, Wang zhizhi, etc in the 2000s, China was top 8 in the world.
Japan women's basketball team has some of the best team work and execution of plays. It's really good to watch. One thing the Chinese men's players lack is strength and conditioning compared to other teams. They need to get in the weight room more.
The real problem with the Philippines is development, plenty of talented young kids wasting their development years in local high school and college against lower level competition. Kids stay in these leagues because they get “sponsored” to help their families.
I think Chinese team sports sucks because various reason. First, Chinese education system really does not provide enough support for team sports. Most of guys in my middle school love to play basketball. It was rare to see empty space at basketball court after class. I remembered even I only had two PE classes per week but I precious every minutes in the basketball court. Also, our PE teacher just lack of passion for his classes and he does not teach any fundamental soccer and basketball knowledge to students even he known students love to play basketball. I learned professional basketball rules and received decent basketball training in American's high school . Second, Chinese family does not want their kids to be a professional basketball player. They prefer their kids to spent time at math camp rather than basketball training. They want their kids to find a secure and stable job in the future, to become a professional basketball player just too risky and unpredictable for them. For example, most of my cousins are tall and strong even my younger brother reached 5.8 when he was 6th grade. But no one in my family want them to play basketball or soccer. I still remembered my younger brother touched the rim when he was in 7th grade.......Third, state need to invest more money into basketball tournament, youth training and basketball infrastructures. China lack of professional basketball coach and trainer.
I think basketball IQ is there, but the hustle and drive is missing, maybe top athletic ability..I've watched a few international basketball games, specifically the teams from East Asia..They pass the ball a lot, set picks like traditional basketball..
A decade ago, China (+Iran) were the clear cut best basketball teams in Asia. Not sure what happened since then. Are the Chinese men getting more feminine for the ladies (as what Xi Jinping claims)?
China VS Philippines became really political here, but China was expected to win so it was a total shock that the Philippines wiped the floor with them, the play style of China was just not a good match to the Philippine one; as far as Japan, how the monkeys in hell did that happen, for the Philippines and China, the game was everything, China had physically better dudes while the Philippines can always tap its physically great diaspora, Japan on the other hand even with their import players are not really a match physically to China and South Korea or even the Philippines with its diaspora players. All in all the Filipinos are happy for beating team China, that is all that goes in our heads right now and team Japan is outside our radars for all its worth.
Thanks for saying the truth about the PBA, it has been a joke for the longest time, that’s for sure!!! A lot of Filipino imports in Japan and Korea 😂😂😂
What is wrong with him being half? That is like saying anyone who is a halfie does not count. He can represent whichever country he wants to represent.
China and Philippines are more interested on fancy moves and making it on IG..These 2-3 years has baan all them on IG..India is doing the same nowdays..
i think one of the reason why china is dominant in basketball before is that nobody can match up their size. Is like haddadi of iran. China didnt dominate asia by 3 point shooting or passing. They just have some more bigger taller talented players in basketball. The sout koreans are great in shooting the basket, Japanese are quicker and faster, Philippines has the dribble drive and ball handling, The middle eastern teams have the physicality. And China have the size advantage in all them. And in the fiba court you need height and size. You can't play small ball like philippines or USA. Because its a smaller court compared to nba. You will not succeed
But Japan is declining in MMA, if they don't improve their birth rate, they will run out of young people for sport in the future. And China have big and athletic players but they lack creativity to get their own shots. Yi Jianlian have the athleticism but can't create his own shot, no moves, or creativity like Yao Ming.
Don't compare Philippines to China or Japan. You don't know nothing! Number 1 Sport in the Philippines #1 Boxing #2 Basketball #volleyball #soccer #billiards # And many more besides (Escrima/ Arnis) "Filipino Martial Arts"
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165 cuz there’s no mixed Chinese people across the globe other race was disgusted towards Chinese people they don’t want to mixed with small slanted eyes such a waste of bloodline lol
A decade ago, China (+Iran) were the clear cut best basketball teams in Asia. Not sure what happened since then. Are the Chinese men getting more feminine for the ladies (as what Xi Jinping claims)?
I can just say alot of the players in the Chinese national team were just there because they are tall. Alot of them didnt have passion
China sucks at Team Sports but excel at individual sports. Their athletics program (which is to choose attributes) does not translate to team sports
could say the same thing about yao too
The thing with Yao and Yi Jianlian is both of them actually can dominate games, unlike those players nowadays such as zhou qi and wang zhe lin
Japan’s really skilled at whatever sport they pick up. The women’s soccer team was killing it at World Cup. The men’s volleyball team is lb for lb the most skilled at that sport. Japanese boxers are also amazing. Shit, even skateboarding has been dominated by the Japanese.

PH just won the Gold in 2023 Asian Games last week.. 🎉
Always rooting for Team Taiwan
China's record of performance on team sports is abysmal.
Not their women's division, they are killing it
ONE THING:
Japan's government supports their athletes. FULLY.
one thing : Japan`s government dont support sports athlete compare to Ccp. its not about money yo.
日本政府はサポートしてないよ。
Slam Dunk! 😂
Is a one child policy mentality
It's weird how China's mens basketball team is so bad, but their women's basketball is really good.
I lab❤ this game pares!!!!!
i dont even know japan is into basketball until recently
Japan women's basketball team has some of the best team work and execution of plays. It's really good to watch.
One thing the Chinese men's players lack is strength and conditioning compared to other teams. They need to get in the weight room more.
and yet the japanese team is any better?
@@lyhthegreat well they perform better at least lately
The real problem with the Philippines is development, plenty of talented young kids wasting their development years in local high school and college against lower level competition. Kids stay in these leagues because they get “sponsored” to help their families.
It’s simple. His name is Keisei Tominaga
Taiwan and japan always have good bball skills
its because of Slam dunk Anime and now its happening in real life! L🤣l
I think Chinese team sports sucks because various reason. First, Chinese education system really does not provide enough support for team sports. Most of guys in my middle school love to play basketball. It was rare to see empty space at basketball court after class. I remembered even I only had two PE classes per week but I precious every minutes in the basketball court. Also, our PE teacher just lack of passion for his classes and he does not teach any fundamental soccer and basketball knowledge to students even he known students love to play basketball. I learned professional basketball rules and received decent basketball training in American's high school . Second, Chinese family does not want their kids to be a professional basketball player. They prefer their kids to spent time at math camp rather than basketball training. They want their kids to find a secure and stable job in the future, to become a professional basketball player just too risky and unpredictable for them. For example, most of my cousins are tall and strong even my younger brother reached 5.8 when he was 6th grade. But no one in my family want them to play basketball or soccer. I still remembered my younger brother touched the rim when he was in 7th grade.......Third, state need to invest more money into basketball tournament, youth training and basketball infrastructures. China lack of professional basketball coach and trainer.
I think basketball IQ is there, but the hustle and drive is missing, maybe top athletic ability..I've watched a few international basketball games, specifically the teams from East Asia..They pass the ball a lot, set picks like traditional basketball..
Andrew's pajama shirt is a vibe!
A decade ago, China (+Iran) were the clear cut best basketball teams in Asia. Not sure what happened since then. Are the Chinese men getting more feminine for the ladies (as what Xi Jinping claims)?
It was the Filipino coach chot Reyes lack of iq to be blamed in gilas team losses in fiba 🚾 the players are great
MANNY PACQUIAO as a pro bball player says a lot about basketball in the Philippines 🤦♂️
China VS Philippines became really political here, but China was expected to win so it was a total shock that the Philippines wiped the floor with them, the play style of China was just not a good match to the Philippine one; as far as Japan, how the monkeys in hell did that happen, for the Philippines and China, the game was everything, China had physically better dudes while the Philippines can always tap its physically great diaspora, Japan on the other hand even with their import players are not really a match physically to China and South Korea or even the Philippines with its diaspora players.
All in all the Filipinos are happy for beating team China, that is all that goes in our heads right now and team Japan is outside our radars for all its worth.
China sucks at Team Sports but excel at individual sports. Their athletics program (which is to choose attributes) does not translate to team sports.
Thanks for saying the truth about the PBA, it has been a joke for the longest time, that’s for sure!!! A lot of Filipino imports in Japan and Korea 😂😂😂
Jalen Green is half Filipino, so I don't think he should have played for Philippines.
What is wrong with him being half? That is like saying anyone who is a halfie does not count. He can represent whichever country he wants to represent.
Slam dunk manga lol. 🤣 China got some good UFC fighters tho including the first & only native Asian champ Weili Zhang.
China didn’t even make the qualifying tournament
文武両道
literary and martial arts
China and Philippines are more interested on fancy moves and making it on IG..These 2-3 years has baan all them on IG..India is doing the same nowdays..
The Filipino basketball team is suffering from corruption and sport politics.
i think one of the reason why china is dominant in basketball before is that nobody can match up their size. Is like haddadi of iran. China didnt dominate asia by 3 point shooting or passing. They just have some more bigger taller talented players in basketball. The sout koreans are great in shooting the basket, Japanese are quicker and faster, Philippines has the dribble drive and ball handling, The middle eastern teams have the physicality. And China have the size advantage in all them. And in the fiba court you need height and size. You can't play small ball like philippines or USA. Because its a smaller court compared to nba. You will not succeed
Because of Kuroko no Basket. 😂
Gilas should have done better, with a team like this shouldn’t have these losing streaks. I blame the coaching.
But Japan is declining in MMA, if they don't improve their birth rate, they will run out of young people for sport in the future. And China have big and athletic players but they lack creativity to get their own shots. Yi Jianlian have the athleticism but can't create his own shot, no moves, or creativity like Yao Ming.
What about Naoya Inouye (Boxing not MMA tho)
because they are diciplined
😍😁😊
Philippines has a poor basketball program.
China is only good at technical sport. Not team and physical sports. In my opinion.
China dominates the sport of weightlifting, lol. "not physical sports", seriously? All sports are technical/physical.
Don't compare Philippines to China or Japan. You don't know nothing! Number 1 Sport in the Philippines #1 Boxing #2 Basketball #volleyball #soccer #billiards # And many more besides (Escrima/ Arnis) "Filipino Martial Arts"
wow china lost to the philippines ohhhh dui leiiiii ya
