"The" right sport for the filipinos, of course, will always be BOXING!

Kun Olympic medal and goal natin, basketbal is not the sport. Boxing ang best bet natin or kung gawing Olympic sport ang billiards. Pero kung becoming a basketball powerhouse in Asia lng, kaya natin yun. Happy na ako dun.

as of this momment for a team sport, basketball is our best chance to achieve something even on an asian level...
imho all other team sports in the P.I. is lagging behind basketball and it too bad it will take decades maybe a century before any other team sport can get pass basketball ...

The right sport to what ____ ?
if you mean as a sports hobby, well then yes. We see basketball courts all over the country, from covered courts to makeshift ones that block our roads.
if you mean to excel, then I guess its proven that as of the moment, even if its already a religion to this country, we have not excelled the way we wanted too.
The culprit would always be at the grassroots level where we lack the talent development. Once youve grown to like over 6'5 in HS, youd automatically become a center, where further improvement of basic skills like dribbling and shooting is somewhat not developed. Still a lot of players can only shoot and dribble with one hand (usually with their right), thats why theyre so predictable. I dont remember anymore the coach from another team who pointed out that Pinoys have this "left-foot syndrome" which has been its vain over the years. It means that players only tend to jump using their left foot no matter what their position is, making their movement more predictable to their opponents.
It still a painful reality that we still lack the shooting prowess were suppose to have in international tournaments like FIBA, when in fact we have like a dozen pro tournaments being held everywhere. Our freethrow percentage recently just proves that.
