Reggie Miller: "Four-Point Line Is Comical"

Why Can't DeMarcus Cousins Get Back To The NBA?

There was a time when DeMarcus Cousins was considered as a possible PBA import. There were rumors that there is a high possibility that he will suit up with Converge. However, the report fizzled out probably because of how Cousins behaved during his time in the NBA.

Cousins was only 31 years old when he last played his NBA game. Sure, he suffered an ACL injury that caused him to miss the entire 2019-20 season and also tore his Achilles in January 2018. But even after he had gotten himself back to 100 percent health, he never got a chance to play in the NBA again and was not called by any teams from the PBA.

How Can Prospective PBA Rookies Avoid The Ban?

The PBA has a new regulation that was approved by the PBA board last 17 July, sent to players and team owners on 18 July, and made public on 5 August. Many considered it as the strongest response of the league to stop the trend among the country’s rising stars and skilled veterans going abroad to play, mostly in Japan and South Korea.

Whether the PBA order will have a legal leg to stand on, or whether it violates the constitutional right of individuals to plan their own destiny, will not be known until the regulation is contested in court.
