How the hell is Blatche Allowed to Play for PHI
The Russian you are referring to Isaac is JR Holden. He could really ball.
I think he earned it more so than others because he lived in Russia 5 years before playing for Russia. He was with CSKA Moscow from 2002 - 2011. So was dedicated to the country.
FIBA need to start installing their own citizenship guidelines/criteria to make it harder to become naturalised.
Currently, if your a citizen in the country you can become naturalised. There is nothing stopping someone/an investor from paying the govt under the table to fastrack the process and play for a country
