i though Sam Unera brought him in the Philippines along with the import Kwan Johnson....By the way before Robparker voluntarily left the country he left a ton of phone bills, credits and other expenses that Sta Lucia received.....Just an asshole...........his Middle name is Medalla and claims that his mother hails from Batangas...Well we all know that hes a Mulato........Originally Posted by saints13
Parker was deported silentlyand he brought stigma on the Realtors franchise, after his deportation, Sta. Lucia vowed not to get half-breds or so-called Fil-ams together with the Air21 franchise. It was only lately, when they had last minute change of mind in choosing Kelly Williams over their 1st choice Arwind Santos.
btw, it was Sean Chambers who knew Parker, he was shocked when he saw Parker play in the PBA as a local, he thought that Parker was half-latino or something but not a Filipino. it was when Chambers aired what he knew about Parker that made doubts about the so called Fil-sham. I've read the thing on a magazine not related to the PBA, Parker was silently deported and the PBA never mentioned about his status, bigla na lang siya nawala sa TV unlike the rest wherein it was clearly stated that they falsified documents like Al Segova and Sonny Alvarado.

Parker suddenly disappeared in PBA Games

yeah. it made a big news and a lot of fil-am's where questioned. too bad.
YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO BAD...
blamed the agents....specially Sam Unera and others...
don't no if this is sure... ive heard news that sonny alvarado wants to go back to PBA after the controversial trade that includes reavis, mamaril and hatfield to ginebra.. he wants to team up with menk and hatfield.. dunno if trueIf Alvarado was a legit Fil-Am, he would be a shoo-in for today's RP Team.
i believe that the once upon a time basketball glory of philippines will be back..
FIBA ASIA 2013
MANILA, PHILIPPINES
He need to show it first that he is a FIL-AM and not a FIL-SHAM...
If its true then we can still use him for WBC... when is the next WBC???
and how old is Alvarado now?
looks like he's on his 30's....

2010 in Turkey.. the qualifying is in 2009 ( no host country yet )
im sure Sam Unera will bring bunch of selections in choosing the " naturalize " one.
Practice makes perfect, but nobody's perfect, so why practice?
Your idol Adriano "Dong" Polistico lives these days in Cagayan de Oro City. Sometimes, he participates in local leagues. Polistico ended his pro career with two seasons with the MBA's Iloilo Megavoltz from 1999 to 2000.
What happened to my Idol...Dong Polistico?
Any relevant information?
Another angle to the story is that Robert Parker had to leave at once because of a threat of a lawsuit to be filed by a woman against him for allegedly spitting on her face at a popular disco.
maybe Sonny Alvarado is related to Max Alvarado
It's ironic to see limited efforts from players with maximum salary.
I wish they would apply "sabermetrics" in those financially challenged PBA teams to acquire players who are value for their money.
how about Chris Clay? he played a couple of times for the RP NT in the Jones Cup..and he was a mainstay in the MBA's Air21 franchise Laguna Lakers together with Jeffrey Flowers..
question about Chris Clay..forget about Flowers..if he claims to be a Filipino, how come he played in PBA as a combo-import of Sta. Lucia during the time when the PBA allowed 2 imports back in 2002 (if I'm not mistaken)
will somebody enlighten me about this issue? sayang ang Texas Tornado e, nandito na sa Pinas, e umalis pa.

Chris Clay doesn't look like Filipino at all.

ah so, Mr. Clay is on Hungary, maybe he was hungry here in RP so he opted to go somewhere else and he managed to be in Hungary..LOL
what I meant was..what is he, is he a qualified, even 1% Filipino-blood running through his white American veins?

No, by playing as an import simply shows that you are not a legit pinoy. maybe he's a 25% Fil-?? but its questionable. he came as an import during the time where players from the disbanned MBA are jumping into PBA, he became so eager to play and show his stuff in the PBA.ah so, Mr. Clay is on Hungary, maybe he was hungry here in RP so he opted to go somewhere else and he managed to be in Hungary..LOL

i think he played with Kwan Johnson as an import ( not sure )
Practice makes perfect, but nobody's perfect, so why practice?
so the PBA was eager to show that the defunct-MBA was a mediocre league..LOL..saying "look, you're so-called Fil-Am just signed in as a transitional import"..or maybe he's too hungry to get a job that's why he bit the offer of being an import without hoping of being considered as a legit mainstay someday..

Yeah, but if he waited.. up to now he is still waiting.. but i remember he played good against Selecta-RP in a official PBA game.

oh really? waiting to be an import or a local? well if that's true, he may play in the PBL.

It should have been a good match up...
CLAY going against HATFIELD...
are these two teammates in MBA?
Actually, Christopher Clay already played in Hungary as an import prior to his coming over to the Philippines in 1999. He just returned to his old employer after leaving the Philippines in 2002. Sadly, Clay reportedly injured his jaw so he was not able to finish the Hungarian league season that year. After that, he went back to the United States.
During the early years of the MBA, it had laxer rules regarding Fil-foreign players wherein only a special work permit was required. Clay thus secured this permit as his ticket to play.what I meant was..what is he, is he a qualified, even 1% Filipino-blood running through his white American veins?
The league later revised its rules to be uniform with that of the PBA wherein the Fil-foreign players would now be required to secure a confirmation from the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Clay simply became an import because first and foremost, he was essentially coming in at midseason so he could not just join any PBA team as a free agent as it was required for any local player to apply first for the Rookie Draft at the start of the season. It is to be noted that Clay sat out the final games of his MBA team the Panagasinan Waves due to a contract dispute and even refused to join the MBA All-Stars at the 2002 Jones Cup. Apparently, he probably needed the money. Clay could not wait so he decided to play as an import.
Alex Compton was the main beneficiary of the "Compton Rule" wherein the MBA Board took note of his special case and allowed foreigners born in the Philippines to play as locals. Compton was not the only player who benefitted from the rule. Guard Lenny Reyes of the Cagayan de Oro Nuggets, an American citizen born in the Philippines, was also allowed. Reyes though became an American by naturalization while Compton was an American since birth.
When Compton played in the 2006-2007 PBA Second Conference as a second import for Welcoat, it was a special concession given to the Dragons in order for them to be competitive after a so-so First Conference.
Yes, both Rudy Hatfield and Chris Clay were teammates at the MBA's Laguna Lakers in 1999. Both players came in at different times in midseason. Hatfield would leave before the start of the 2000 season to sign with Tanduay in the PBA as a free agent.It should have been a good match up...

i think Hatfield played for a Northern team ( not sure ) and Clay played for LAguna Lakers.It should have been a good match up...

i think he failed to get something in BID or in NBI, he opted to play rather than waiting and waste time and money.
