Mr. Long Bomb on Professional Philippine Basketball

In the world of Philippine basketball, few names have revolutionized the game quite like Mr. Long Bomb. His uncanny ability to sink deep three-pointers with consistency has not only entertained fans but has also transformed the way the game is played in professional leagues like the PBA. His influence extends beyond highlight reels, shaping offensive strategies, player development, and even fan engagement.



Changing the Offensive Game

Before Mr. Long Bomb, the Philippine basketball scene was heavily reliant on inside plays, mid-range jumpers, and physicality in the paint. His rise signaled a shift towards a perimeter-centric offense, where three-point shooting became a primary weapon. Teams started incorporating more long-range shooters, spacing the floor to create better ball movement and higher-scoring games. This evolution made games faster, more dynamic, and in tune with international basketball trends.


Inspiring a New Generation of Players

Young Filipino players now grow up idolizing the deep-range shooting of Mr. Long Bomb. His success has influenced aspiring hoopers to extend their shooting range, focusing on accuracy, quick release, and shot selection. This shift is evident in grassroots leagues, collegiate competitions, and even in barangay-level tournaments, where players now attempt deep threes with confidence.


Strategic Adjustments by Coaches

The rise of Mr. Long Bomb forced coaches to rethink their defensive and offensive strategies. Defensively, teams had to develop perimeter-focused schemes, extending their coverage beyond the three-point arc and prioritizing quick closeouts. Offensively, teams adapted by recruiting sharpshooters and designing plays that maximize floor spacing, allowing for efficient ball movement and open three-point looks.


Impact on Fan Engagement

The excitement of long-range shooting has captivated Filipino basketball fans, making games more thrilling and unpredictable. Spectators now anticipate deep three-pointers with the same excitement once reserved for dunks and fast breaks. This shift has also translated into increased viewership, social media buzz, and greater fan participation in fantasy basketball leagues.

Mr. Long Bomb’s influence on professional Philippine basketball is undeniable. His long-range shooting prowess has reshaped offensive strategies, inspired young players, and changed the way fans engage with the game. As basketball continues to evolve, his impact will be felt for years to come, ensuring that the art of the long bomb remains a vital part of the sport’s future.

Sana ibalik ang death penalty

  " Sana ibalik ang death penalty ". Yan ang kadalasan na comment tuwing may mga karumal-dumal na krimen. Akala mo sagot ang death penalty para mawala ang heinous crime sa Pilipinas.  I hope na silakbo lang ng damdamin ang pagsasabi nila na ibalik ang death penalty at hindi dulot ng katangahan. Alam naman natin na baboy ang justice system sa Pinas at kadalasan ay mga mahihirap ang nagsa-suffer sa maling pagpapatupad ng batas. Kaya nga kadalasan ay makakarinig o makakabasa tayo ng - "kung mahirap, kulong na yan". Baka sa huli makarinig na rin tayo ng - "kung mahirap, nabitay na yan". Ang death penalty ay hindi effective deterrence sa krimen. May mga states sa US na may death penalty pero patuloy pa rin ang mga karumal-dumal na krimen. Ang death penalty ay isa lamang tool ng government para legal na pumatay ng tao - pero kailangan pa ba ito kung kabi-kabila naman ang patayan at extra-judicial killings sa Pinas? Baka naman pwede na sabihin "nanlaban...

Microsoft Office365

Let's be honest about it. Apple office document apps sucks. Although, I am using Macbook 12-inch model as my personal laptop, I hate their office apps not because they are buggy or not user-friendly; but because of their limited adoption. Few people are using it (none of my friends and colleague uses it). I cannot use it in my work because people will curse me. There is only one instance where I used it, i.e. during our hackaton event. That's it.  As expected, like any office worker; I am a regular user of Microsoft Office, i.e. word, powerpoint and excel. I bought office365 since it is cheaper and you always get the latest version. I am using it for 2 years now and my license will end August of this year (August 08, 2018 to be exact). I bought my last 2 licenses from lazada.com.ph for less than 2,000 pesos. As I don't want to lose my access to onedrive.com and office apps; I bought a new 1 year license from lazada.com.ph for 1,499 pesos inclusive of the shippi...
