That isn't really saying much. European leagues are more physical than the NBA.

Filipinos are very physical players but they do lack the height so i guess it doesn't matter to 'em Americans/Europeans :D

European game is much more physical than the NBA. So it would not surprise me at all if the PBA is also more physical. The NBA ($tern) has made a strong effort to make the NBA less physical and it is much less physical these days. The Euroleague by comparison for example is much more physcial.

Ok, so? Filipino basketball has already plateau. They model their game too much after the NBA and their players are relatively short and weak.

Yup, the league's model is the NBA but that's not to say the players don't go at it. It's really just more being physical to negate the lack of height, etc. It's how the locals play the reinforcements when the it's not All-Filipino flavored conference...

For all the Filipinos abroad, here's a link for PBA streaming.

Game One of the San Miguel vs. Ginebra FINALS series begins right about now!
