Jamal Sampson went through a three-hour workout with the Smart Gilas Pilipinas national team and Serbian coach Rajko Toroman liked what he saw.
The 6-foot-11 former NBA journeyman will now undergo a series of medical tests as the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas expressed interest in signing him up as a naturalized player for the national team.
“He is a legitimate NBA veteran who coach Rajko describes as a pure center,” said SBP executive director Noli Eala. “He’s simple but a very good defensive player with excellent post moves, exactly what we need.”
Though not the flashy type, Eala said the 245-pound Sampson is bigger, stronger and more seasoned than the 6-foot-11 CJ Giles, whom the SBP released last week due to erratic behavior and injuries.
During the Gilas practice, Sampson dominated the paint and swatted every shot the 6-foot-11 Greg Slaughter tried to make.

Sana huwag magaya kay Giles na pasaway. Kailangan din mag undergo ng psychological test si Sampson para masiguro na hindi din ito sira-ulo.
we need 1 more for backup..
injury prone si Sampson.. see his NBA history.. pero magaling tlga

February 12, 2004

how about the other 2 prospects? Pruitt...
we really need backup..
mahirap na baka mag back to zero na naman!
We should try chinese or iranian prospects...hehehe....just kidding!
Sampson is another one to watch for, otherwise a back-up is necessary...but i was thinking, kung medyo malas ang Gilas in getting a sincere import, i think they should consider to be not too serious in getting one...Let's improve our game, i believe we can do it our own...Our players are far more skilled and intelligent playing hoops than any Asian teams...We just have to catch up with FIBA style of game...
International exposure is a mandatory, even US team are doing it prior to any international competitions...
So far SBP has done a great job and doing the right step in this dream of reclaiming our past glory, the difference is, it's not so easy in this era where everybody is giving having the same program...
Goodluck SBP, Smart-Gilas, Nokia-Pilipinas and D-league!!!

natural napaka bagal ni slaughter eh. mabilis pa yung alaga naming pagong sa kanya e. dapat di na kinuha yan sobrang bagal. e di kunin na din si feihl at balingit.
According to reports, Jamal Sampson's right foot injury was caused by a weak ankles but already treated and corrected through a series of therapies and rejuvenating exercises.
Sampson's 2004 injury was caused by Plantar Fasciitis. A common injury that causes heel pain and pain in the sole of the foot. Plantar Fasciitis is inflammation of the Plantar Fascia, a fibrous sheath that runs most of the length of the sole of the foot. During walking and running, as you 'toe-off', the Plantar Fascia becomes taut and helps the foot act as a lever to push off with force.
Plantar Fasciitis usually develops as a result of overuse. Pain is common over the inside of the heel and usually radiates down the inside of the sole of the foot. The pain usually occurs with activity and is also typically present in the morning when taking the first steps of the day. The key to treatment of Plantar Fasciitis is to remove the strain on the Plantar Fascia, by resting and using the Plantar Fasciitis AirHeel.
The Airheel is the latest state of the art technology that is currently used by NBA players like Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Kevin Garnett, etc...
The case of Jamal Sampson is like the case of PJ Brown of the Chicago Bulls, which with multiple therapies and proper treatments resulting to a more steady and reinforced right foot that feels like a brand new foot.
The AirHeel is made of lightweight neoprene fabric and is simple to apply - just slip it on like a sock and adjust the fit with one strap.
Available soon in the Philippines.

d ba isang naturalized pwede? anung pinagsasabi nyong isa pa for back up kasi injured prone to. isa lng pwede maging naturalized mga kups.
mas maganda ang credentials ni Jamal Sampson kasi tried and tested na rin to at nakalaro na ng professional. Di gaya ni Giles na di pa talaga nakapag laro ng matagal bilang professional. Yung injury list na ipinost ng isang forumer pabalik balik lang at redundant. Paki tingnan lang ang mga dates ng news archive niya.
cguro natatawa si sampson sa pag supalpal nya kay greg ahaha sabi cguro ni sampson ano ba tong player na to
hehehe, nakakatawa talaga kyo mga tsong... kulit naten...yung galaw ni slaughter hirap na hirap para sa basketball, walang upper body strength tsaka wala talaga e. yung kilos ampanget. mahusay pa at mabilis pa si james walkvist ng malayo. baka di pa manalo kay feihl to e. dapat mag 1 on 1 sila. natatawa siguro si bart Sampson,,,sabe siguro ano ba tong mga players ng pilipinas basta matangkad lang ipipilit paglaruin kahit walang skills hehe..
Hindi na injured si Jamal mga tol, pinag-aagawan na nga siya ng mga Chinese teams sa CBA at mga European teams. Nakita ko sa practice ng Gilas, mataas tumalon mga tol, parang walang injury.
alangnan nman d ma supalpal s slaughter mahina p sa iq. s basketball,dmaka timing s pag pick,supalpal pa nng maliit,nuoong last game ng travelling dhil pilit yung tira nya,tatlo ang lumapit s kanya,style nya isa lang ang direcition.wlang pivot,baby hook, fadeaway jumper,strecth 2 the basket,pick bgo tumira,kala k bay tinurua-an ni mon frenandez..
haha! baka imbes na baby hook, baby bangs, imbes na fade away jumper ,fade away lay-up,stretch 2 the basket, stretcher,pick ..tooth pick..di si mon fernandez nagturo dyan baka si mon...harmon codinera hahaha o mon tulfo hehehe...
Slaughter is a Project player at present, baka naman within two years may improvement na rin siya. Sana nga kasi si Eman up to now Project parin ng SMBtsamba.
Go Gilas!
wla parin talunan parin ang smart walang gilas asa import masyado, dapat no bearing game nlng sa fiba para manalo sila
c slaughter mga tol me pag asa sa basketball yan! kaso lng e ung training nya yunder toroman ng stop kc me Cesafi pa kc cya rememver ngaun lng ulit sumali ung bata.. at sabi ni toroman c slaughter ay nsa 15 percent pa ng kanyang total skills so dapat ma develop tlaga.. look at Jason Ballesteros di nman ganyan yan mglaro dati eh..pero ngaun aun ok na gumalaw..be patient lng pero I hope noh! na sana c slaughter di na mg laro sa Cesafi 1 more year kasi di cya ma improve ni Toroman kapag di cya ng Full tym Gilas
jamal sampson is a big addition fo gilas. I hope you will play as a a proud FILIPINO..... go SAMP. go PILIPINAS..
pinahiya pa si slaughter, hehe..ano na news junmar fajardo?
Kailangan pa nila ng point guard si allen Iverson kunin sana nila :)
ahahaha.. ang kkulet ng mga post. tawa ako ng tawa.
Bart Sampson.. ahahahah! nice one pre.
hndi ko pa nkkita laro nung greg slaughter. teka, baka naman piko ang laro neto o kaya chess, kinuha lang kc matangkad. ahahaha..
khasi
Sana nga gumaling pa slaughter,we need a a back up center at sayang din yung height.Bihira sa Pinas na magkaroon ng 7 foot player.Tama din sabi ng isang poster na nag improve c ballesteros which is a good indicator that Toroman's program is working.
One thing more,hopefully by next year completo na ang players ng Gilas(Lutz on march).I'm still hoping some PBA players will rendered some it;s player.(Williams sana).Isama din nila c pRingle,at mahiram din c christian s.,6'7 din na forward yun who is currently playing for University of Nebraska.
UnoDosTres is too excited. HEHE
kumuha narin sila ng bata mga u16 tapos hasain nila ung mga tipong pang sentro. for sure hindi lang tayo pang asia nun.
Im going to stick with Baracael pre.. kc Baracael is there already when ung Team nila is bago plng.. and I doubt toroman will let go of Baracael as the other poster in IBN said Toromans concern is not on match up, he is more on looking for a player who can play roles.. di ung super star type so I guess Baracael is enough for our forward position..
si slaughter kasi mga brod eh mga 6-2 oh 6-4 lang ang nakakaharap niyan sa cesafi. ngayon nkita niyang wala talaga sia kwenta. sana mapanood ng coach nia sa cesafi kung pano blangkuhin yung pinagyayabang niya
the only way to win the FIBA is recruit the ones that r a threat to the RP ...like Hadadi or Yao Ming that is the best solution make them all our Backup

good research sir!! pero with all due respect naman po siguro.. di ba sa NBA pag may gusto sila iactivate na player sa reserved list may nilalagay sila sa injured list to replace it.. gets nyo po ba? baka naman yung ibang injury nya e gawa gawa lang para may maactivate silang ibang players sa roster nila.. ano po sa tingin nyo?
ano po ba height nito? sana nga siya na ang fit sa gilas.. pero di kaya matanda na sya for this team???
Go Gilas!!!
malamang madami matatanggal sa gilas oras na sumali na si chris lutz at stanley pringle.
nasa 18 na ata ang players ng smart gilas as of now. among them, mamimili si coach toroman kung sino ang isasali sa final line-up. although assured naman lahat ng financial compensation kahit hindi makuha. aside from that, mag improve pa ang fundamental skills ng mga players na nasa pool.
isali na rin mga ampatuan sa smart gilas para matakot mga kalaban. hehehe
Si GMA naman ang muse. 1st gentleman ang team manager.
During the Gilas practice, Sampson dominated the paint and swatted every shot the 6-foot-11 Greg Slaughter tried to make.
.....>>>
langya, pinahiya pa si speed bagal hehe.
Makikita na natin at masusubukan kung paano siya maglaro. His baptism of fire will be tommorow against powerhouse San Miguel.
About the question on naturalization, yes FIBA allows two naturalized players per nation/ team. However, only one is allowed to be fielded in. So kahit dalawa ang i naturalize ng Smart Gilas, iisa lang ang pwede makalaro. So back up o reserve nga lang ang isa if in case magka injury o maka problema ang isang naglalarong naturalized player.
Kailangan ng gilas ng center na offensive and defensive threat.Kung mapapansin nyo puro shooting at pick n roll lng kalimitan ginagawa nila...Maybe sa PBA kaya nilang gawin un,pero against China or Iran?I doubt it.Eh higanteng mabibilis ang kalaro nila.Toroman is a great coach,kaso ung nagawa nya for iran sa tingin ko hindi nya magagawa para sa atin.Bakit?Short race tayo e.Si Japeth lang ang bigman na nakita kong my bilis.Cguro 5 Japeth ang kailangan ntin para maging mapansin in asia.Japeth at center,Japeth at PF,and Japeth in SF.Ung dalawa off the bench!jejeje and manny pacquiao at point!
