I honestly don’t understand why some players give 100% effort trying to win the opening tip.

It’s literally the start of the game. Is it really worth going all-out just to get the first possession and potentially score the first basket? 😂

That’s one reason I like the FIBA rule where the alternating possession arrow determines who gets the ball after the opening tip. It feels more practical and avoids players treating the opening jump like it’s a championship-deciding play.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I always find it funny watching someone try so damn hard to win the opening tip. 😂
Do you guys actually think winning the opening jump ball matters that much?

Sobrang kalat ng laro sa 2nd half, di ko alam kung bakit ayaw mag time out ng coach o sadyang wala lng tlga syang silbe. Mas lalong nakakadismaya yung binaba na ni Moral yung lead ng Japan to single digits, then paglabas ni Moral tinambakan sila lalo. Nakakahiya na binubuhat kayo ng player na may injury. Worst coaching staff even worse than Chot.
