Ok, this takes the cake as my favorite email of the year so far
Since the influx of emails from personalities such as Jamal Sampson, Rajko Toroman, and a comment from Chot Reyes these past few days, people have been emailing me left and right about messages for these people, including a lot of suggestions for Coach To

Another Smart Gilas prospect, Greg Stiemsma, signs with the Minnesota Timberwolves
Last Thursday, in the wake of Dwayne Jones signing with the Phoenix Suns, I wrote about some other D-League prospects that Smart Gilas might want to check out. Scott Schroeder of Ridiculous Upside singled out former University of Wisconsin center Greg Sti

Jamal Sampson’s shadow still looms over Smart Gilas import search

Jamal Sampson had his reasons to leave the team and he was not treated correctly because of the coach's crazy and unnecessary rules. If a corporation is not going to uphold the contract and keep all that they promised a Player - the Player has a right to complain and to leave a team!
good to hear coach's side. i sorta trust coach more than management. good thing it was him who replied
Jamal's email message is nothing compared to the email message of Coach Rajko. Rajko's details are too much to believe Jamal's generalizations.
So now we know.
So now we know.
Salamat much, Jae for posting this. It clears up the issues. Go Gilas!
while i appreciate the email from coach rajko, and it gives us a better perspective about the man, make no mistake about it: the issues brought up by sampson's email haven't been resolved. we still don't know if the SBP acted in bad faith during contract negotiations, and we still don't know why backed by a rich corporate sponsor experienced delays in salary.
it's frustrating that the SBP personnel involved with those matters haven't come forward with a statement on this.

Jae, if the issue is the non or late payments or fulfilling the contract to the point, Jamal did not fulfill the contract first - that is to PLAY.
On his release from Gilas, I do not think any concern Gilas might have why they are keeping Jamal on the ropes. Isn't that interesting? Why keep a player who does not want to PLAY?

oh, except that sampson has been asking for his release, and it hasn't been granted to him. he has been asking for it since before the dubai trip.
of course, i'm going by what sampson says, and it's an issue that could be cleared up if someone from the SBP spoke up. like i said, it's awesome that coach rajko chose to release a statement, but how about the ones actually in charge of negotiating a contract?

it 's easier said then done about the money issues. Smart is a very very big corporation and it is not that simple to make the money go around to reach its destination. The money may not come on time always but it does come.
As to why Gilas is holding on to Sampson as he claims it is, i'm not too sure, i wonder if it might be cause if they just dropped him or terminated his contract then they'd have to pay a certain termination fee or something like that. BUt believe me, their search for a next import has already started so everything with Jamal is done. Jamal Watkins though, is slated to arrive and workout soon.

here's the rub: under Fiba rules, a player can't transfer to a country if his old team in another country doesn't give his agent a letter of clearance.
i appreciate you trying to explain the issue, but it would still be better if there were a statement from someone in an official capacity.

just a thought....baka naman yung ibang international teams yung ayaw ipa-release sa Gilas si Jamal....LOL
Doesn't Jamal Sampson have an agent? If he was responsible enough, he would have at least somebody to represent him and explain him details whenever he goes into player transactions especially when playing in other countries. Things would have been faster if he really knew was he was going into as a player.
At least CJ Giles probably had one so he was able to play in Lebanon right now.

I will not agree with that bossing. The statement of Jamal about NO PAY, NO PLAY is true.
Actually, it is very easy to clarify all of this. First, when was the contract signed? Next, let them SBP show the receipt of the payments made to Jamal every month for his services. These two documents is enough to demolish Jamal's claims. Let us not go to the issue of who was lazy or who got the most excuses. We would only go on circles.
If SBP can show when the contract was signed and that they have paid Jamal in full and on time as per contract, then all of Toroman's statement above is all rightful and true.
On the other hand, if SBP cannot show us these documents, then Jamal's claim is substantiated.
Finally, don't try to fool me that both of them are bounded by the confidentiality and non-disclosure clause of the contract, thereby constraining them to release such documentation, because i'm pretty sure that particular clause of the contract is one sided and only applies to the player.
hahaha... ang BP... hahaha...

wow j, scoop na naman! i wonder how quinito henson will quote you or mention your name/blog in his column? LOL
Nice one Coach T! About time we hear from the SBP peeps themselves.

Quinito is a PBA publicist. He is more interested in writing about the PBA and defending them of controversies and their failures rather than writing something of national interest like the Smart Gilas Team.
Besides, didn't he already feature both CJ Giles and Jamal Sampson in his columns?

It is definitely a learning experience for Gilas. We always ask, why hasn't the Gilas hired an import yet? Sometimes there is a season of delay.
Definitely, not all imports are going to play for Gilas. Aside from that, they have to expect that imports with credentials like being a Division I player and an NBA journeyman which includes being the former teammate of Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant, they expect to be treated differently. LOL

I think non-issue kung sino man ang nakasams mong players or teams in the past. False pride ata yun. Habol lang naman ng Gilas siguro honor and integrity in an import. Yung walang self diagnosed false injuries.
Tama ka. Expect false pride from them especially when they are asked to play for our country. Sad but true.
With regards to Gilas, I think they are more interested in somebody who can help the team instead of his credentials.
The team needs an import that consists of both immense talent and great attitude in the court.

By asking Jamal Sampson to play even before finalizing his a contract, one could certainly detect some flaws and unprofessionalism within the SBP/Smart Gilas organization. We simply cannot paint Jamal as a greedy mercenary for wanting to uphold his rights. As he indirectly stated, he was refusing to play because he felt that management was failing to make good on its commitments. Any employee for that matter would be demoralized if he is not getting what is due him. Jamal's claims regarding the complaints of other players has a lot of substance and it is very interesting how "Saint Noli" and the entire SBP leadership will have to say about this. It is common knowledge that Noli has an axe to grind against the PBA since his ungraceful exit for which he only has himself to blame. I particularly don't appreciate how he tried to sow intrigue between the PBA and the Smart Gilas program, frequently trying to insult the former instead of treating it as a big brother that is there lending support to the latter. We thank Jamal for shedding light on the matter and if he were a mercenary who only cared about money, I believe he wouldn't have bothered explaining his side. The million dollar question is, does the recent reshuffling of SBP/Talk and Text basketball officials mean that "Saint Noli" has finally fallen from MVP's grace? We will all stay tuned.
Jamal Sampson should have had an agent before he undergoes any contract negotiations with the SBP or any country for that matter. The agent definitely should have explained everything to him. Aside from that, the agent will always there to represent him in terms of contract and other conditions needed for him to become an RP Smart Gilas player.Why does not he have one? That is the million dollar question!
As for the SBP, this should be a learning experience on their part that next time they plan to recruit imports, it must make sure that these players are fully represented by agents who must make sure that the terms and conditions of their contracts are fully explained so that controversies like this would be avoided in the future.
Any player with the right attitude and bearing will play a game or two en gratis if to prove that he is qualified to be a part of a team. He will forgo that dangled money in exchange to be a part of a system where he will earn not just money, but respect and trust.
But you have to remember that these players primarily for money. You have to take that into consideration. These are players who play not basically for the love of the game but for the monetary considerations that they are going to get while playing for another country.

thanks for the clarification article. reposted this (with link to FQ) on insidehoops.com
"with all due respect to Coach Toroman, that while very inspiring especially for Smart Gilas fans, the message contained little about the meat of Sampson’s allegations against the SBP, his contract situation."
-well, he may not have directly dwelt on the contract negotiations, but at least he had put some light on the issue from a coach's perspective. the guy really showed little dedication early on.
the management may have its shortcomings, but come on, mvp's pocket is not endless.
the smart gilas program is an ambitious one. and yes, mvp (and smart in general) has huge benefits for sponsoring it in terms of the company's goal to establish a name and image by supporting this popular sport.
that is, they're not, in the strictest sense, really being philanthropic.
but come on, give them a break. if you really genuinely love the sport, you'd love to see ANY team of ours - may it be pros from the pba or the amateurs - excel in the international arena, regardless of who's backing them up.
i've been quite a follower of this blog, and i can't help but notice that in every opportunity, you take a swipe at the smart gilas team and the program in general, yet willing kisses powerade's and guiao's ass. this one (http://firequinito.com/archives/129-Jones-Cup-day-6-Korean-shooters-make-it-rain-in-the-clutch,-down-Powerade-Team-Pilipinas.html), for instance.
yes they weren't able to prepare well for the tianjin tournament, hence the failure. but is preparation supposedly not an internal part of the powerade program? isn't that the team management's responsibility? well, did this blog of yours bring that up? no, not in even just a few lines.
this blog is becoming too pretentious, and biased at that.

on the contrary, buddy, you're always welcome to criticize me and even call me names. on my blog, in public, for everyone to see and agree or disagree. which you only seem to do whenever i mention the SBP management, or if there's not enough new material about smart gilas for you to jerk off to. whatever floats your boat.
isn't it curious that Gilas coach Rajko Toroman felt the need to address the issue, while the SBP hasn't made any statement?

Ako rin naman usually pag Gilas lang ko may pake, kasi un lang interest ko eh. kaya wag na kayo magaway. haha
You are right man,this is the member of SBP.They are spiting on their own coach.eg crazy rules because of which no import is good.Obviosly,they are not happy with his letter.It's hard to admit mistakes that are made.So someone else has to be guilty. Unbelievable,man! Coach T.run as fast as you can from this people!
And I was angry with the people giving them hard time!

Thanks for airing your side Coach T. - Honestly speaking WE trust you more than the SBP. Com'on guys lets admit it POLITICS is really present not only in Smart Gilas but in such PRO Leagues (SAD to say it's very obvious in the Philippines.
What about the Noli issue - sounds crazy if it's true - YOU DON'T HAVE TO MOTIVATE PLAYERS BY MEANS OF REVENGE. Please check on the meaning of the word RETREAT. Or I might as well say learn about the true meaning of a retreat. Is this all about the so called scandal that you had been through that resulted in you being kicked out of the PBA. I used to believe in you but after that... I could say its such a Carabao S.
@ JAMAL - yeah good to know you follow your instincts. IF IT HAPPENED TO ME I WOULD ALSO DO THE SAME. - why would I play with all my heart if there you can sense that there is a breach of contract. CAN'T ANYONE SEE THIS - HE CAME BACK AFTER THE HOLIDAY VACATION - In the first place he is back in the US why does he have to travel back in RP if he isn't satisfied and willing to sacrifice. HE CAN ALWAYS MAKE A LAME EXCUSE FROM THERE.
Coach Toroman is not the problem.
Jamal Sampson is not the problem.
The person in charge of Smart Gilas or SBP is to blame.

Pasensya na, pero naisip ko lang..baka naman nag-dadahilan na lang tong si Sampson na NAUNA siyang humingi ng release bago pa mag-Dubai tournament to save himself from the kahihiyan of being fired? Naisip ko lang.
Ayos tong reply ni Coach. Sa lahat ng nag-tatangol kay Sampson, kung nakita niyo lang talaga kung papaano umarte tong si Sampson the during WHOLE Dubai tournament, tignan pa natin kung maawa pa kayo sa kanya. Sa totoo lang, nagpapakamtay (kung maglaro iisipin mo may mga death wish) na yung ibang players ng Gilas para lang manalo (si Lassiter pa nga tinahi yung ulo ON THE SPOT dahil bumukas yung part ng noo niya pagkatapos nasiko..ilang minuto lang bumalik ulit sa court, si Tiu dugo nguso pero bumalik pa rin sa court parang wala lang nangyari..), etong si Sampson sitting pretty lang sa upuan niya. Masakit daw ang tuhod. ULUL. Uulitin ko, kung nandun kayo mismo sa mga games, MAIINIS TALAGA KAYO. Wala man lang paki sa mga teammates niya.
Oo alam kong ang issue dito ay yung sweldo pero sa kahit anong trabaho naman, MAG-TRABAHO KA MUNA BAGO KA SWELDUHAN. Hindi nahuhulog ang pera sa langit, pinaghihirapan ito.
Jamal, learn the value of HARD WORK. There is no such thing as easy money. You want your money? WORK FOR IT. Prove that you DESERVE every single penny.
Then again, YOU DON'T.
So don't be surprised if people are not exactly on your side. Don't play the pity card. You're NOT a victim.
PS: Eh bakit yung kay CJ Giles, magulo man, wala namang ganitong issue na lumabas? Nag-dadahilan lang talaga tong si Sampson.

tapos na sana yung issue na to kung merong statement ang SBP management.

Mr. Toroman, you can preach all you want about how a player should conduct himself, but the fact of the matter is, Jamal Sampson is not getting paid of his salary. Now let just say you where in his shoes , you've been practicing the team and coaching/training them and you're not getting paid for it , how do you think you'll feel. Betrayed? I'm sure you wouldn't waste your time here, and probably wanting to get the first plane out. You must also remember that Jamal didn't come here just because he felt like playing for the Philippines, they asked him to play for Smart Gilas, with the promise that he is going to be paid. Lastly , you talked about treating everybody like family, and being the head of the family , you must always make sure that every member of your family is getting what they're supposed to get and not only thinking about whether you're getting paid on time or not.
all valid points. but to be fair to Coach Toroman, he is addressing Sampson's comments about the program from his point of view, which is the coach's. and his letter gives us great perspective on where he's coming from as a coach.
i'm not sure Toroman knows exactly what's going on with Sampson's contract situation.

I just hope that what happened to Jamal will never happen to Toroman otherwise he will be eating his words til he gets diarrhea. You know what's really surprising is the eerie silence of Noli P.( press release)?
For your information everyones salary in Gilas was late
at that time,including coach Toroman,because of some tehnical difficulties.But everyone was working,except Jamal.He started to fake his injury long before it was time to get the salary.

Are you from Smart Gilas? You seem to know a lot. Why don't you guys come out in the open and try to air your side?
I'm close to someone from Smartgilas.If you read the letter from the coach more carefuly,you would notice that Jamal;s so called injuries started on the next day after signing the contract.From that time he had only two practices.
unfortunately, i couldn't verify who george is, or if he's really close to smart gilas.
not saying that what he's saying isn't true, of course.
not saying that what he's saying isn't true, of course.
It is the true with big T!
i'm sure it is the true.
Thank you!
If you're really close from someone at Smart Gilas as you've claimed, why don't you ask them as to why they don't want to come out and explain their side. The true is , Noli E. and his cohorts are more interested in attending press conferences and issuing press releases than making sure his coach and players are getting their salary on time.
that is correct! why not let noli eala explain all the money matters so everything is settled. hard to believe that smart company will renege on their obligations.
Totally shate your observation.Noli Eala has a lot of explanation to do.He abused MVP's generosity.
He made unnecessary expenses with all his school
friends that he put in SBP.
This group of parasites was receiving money for
nothing!They were even not obliged to come to
the office like all employees have to!They were
visiting the office occasionally,few times a month
(that's how busy they are)!No team trip could had be
done without them!They were getting bonuses on
the team's sweat,like they have something to do
with it.
The only role they had,was to kiss ser Noli'a ass!
But the good news according to the papers is that
they are out of the picture.
No more parasites living on MVP's expense.Finally!

jamal and noli should guest in showbiz central and settle the issue in intriga crossfire lol =) moral of the story: BS begets BS period
If you are close to someone doesn't mean you can tell him what to do.Probably there are things that should be resolved,concerning termination of the contract with Jamal.I am sure,there are reasons.Jamal is big manipulator.I read his answer.I am interested if coach will answer to him(cauze he sayed he won't write anymore)concerning his assistants.I know that Jamal is not telling the truth,because coach never speak about his assistants with the players,specially with Jamal.He heard this from someone else,maybe someone who wants to be an assistant.But it was expected that he would try to pick up new fights with the people.I agree with the coach,worst person I ever saw.And,he got updated from his frien Chillders,who stayed here with him and praticed with the team.
the problem is, right now, you're just an anonymous commenter. unlike Gilasinsider, whom i have identified as someone close to the Gilas organization, i have no idea who you are, and as such, i can't vouch for the accuracy of your comments.
you could, of course, drop me an email and let me know who you are ;)
you could, of course, drop me an email and let me know who you are ;)
How do you think I know all this? I can't tell you who am I close to,because I don't know if that might make a problem to that person.I also know that there are official reports from doctors in Dubai and Manila that confirm Jamal had no injury.Would be a normal thing to you that you don't want to keep a good player? Of cors not.No one gets fired without the reason.Everyone saw his performances,or better nothing that he showed!
like i said, you may be right... but without any proof, there's really no way of knowing. there's no way to distinguish you from any other anonymous commenter on the web, nor is there any way to verify that what you're saying is true.
you could be telling the whole truth, or you could just be making stuff up. i have no judgment either way. i have no way of knowing, unfortunately.

And one more thing for Jamal,from the moment he signed the contract he did't play any game in PBA and in 20 days managed to have false back injury,diarrehia,and false knee injury and with all this excusees didn't practice.And people Jamal should understand what you think of him,so write that he can knows.

i'm not saying i didn't want it. i'm saying... without verifying your identity, it's hard to know where you're coming from.
dude, you dont have to reveal who you are on the comments. you could always just email jaemark with request that you be kept anonymous. then jae could just vouch for you here while not revealing your name to the general public.
@george you can claim or tell the so called truth about this issue all u want ,but if you continue to remain anonymous, all your statements here are "tsismis". BTW , do you know what "tsismis" means? It's оговарање in Serbia.
Dude,wat's the point with tsismis.Don't understand.Whatever,you hate Gilas,I like Gilas and my Gilas friends.Ko na finished kahapon with the comments or if you better like with tsismis.
What's the fuss about George?He might be a friend of a friend,but everything he wrote,was already posted.Jamal Sampson's behaviour well described in Mr.Toroman's letter,and about salaryes being late forthe others too,we heard from gilasinsider earlier.So nothing new!
It was nice to hear the side of Coach Toroman but sadly I believe that Smat and the SBP should come out with a formal statement. They should clean the air and show that they have kept their side of the bargain.
Sampson is a PRO basketball player, he plays for money so if there is truth that some of his paychecks were delayed then you cannot blame him.
Don't get me wrong, I love Philippine basketball and I still trully believe we are the best in Asia. I just don't trust the suits, history is not on their side(sad to say).

anyone who expect jamal to be patriotic of the phil flag is stupid, do not compare him to his fellow gilas player. he is an import, import gets paid to play, now if his demand is no pay no play, let him go, the problem is not with him anymore, it's with those people who offered him a contract to play, jamal said everything right, sbp have done everything wrong. playing basketball is his job, those who are mad at him, try applying for a job that doesn't give any compensation.
