More likely you willl be battling pba teams who is in the thick of preparations for the upcominng Governors cup.. but with the team being grouped with the Philippines the chances of getting teams wouldn't be a shigh compared if you are bracketed in the other group..

Thing that prevents Khazzouh from joining Lebanese NT = Papers..

His issue has nothing to do with papers... Khazzouh received his ID as Lebanese when he was born.

hopefully such I.D. is enough document for fiba officials coz for most of our foreign born players, they received their birth certificate indicating that their mother or father (or both) is a filipino at the time of their birth that made them filipino and can claim this citizenship. but this is still not acceptable to fiba..what they want is a passport holder before 16 years of age..but as i said, it boils down to how you argue your case against them..so good luck..
