PBA legend Allan Caidic expressed concern with the leagueโs plan to implement the four-point shot beginning with the 2024 Governorsโ Cup on August 18.
In an interview with Sportalakan on Thursday, Caidic said he feared that the younger players might emulate their PBA idols by also trying to shoot from the 27-foot arc.
โAng concern ko diyan โyung mga bata, mga grassroots baka i-emulate โyun at an early age, kaya siguro nasa coaches na lang din ang pagkocontrol niyan,โ Caidic said.
โIt is concerning sa development ng bata eh, kasi ine-emulate ng mga bata โyung ginagawa ng professional players, kaya โyung iba diyan titira at titira talaga sa four-point shot,โ he added.
However, Caidic understands where the PBA is coming from by implementing the four-point shot, which was first used in the PBA All-Star, as they want to regain the interest of the hoop fans.
โWell, initially, kung titignan mo, it will add curiosity sa mga fans,โ Caidic said. โAlam naman natin ang PBA is not just basketball, kundi its entertainment, kaya baka makatulong sa curiousity ng mga manonood.โ
โKung makikita mo how successful โyung four-point play nung PBA All-Star talagang tinatry ng mga players na maka shoot, but โyung general impact sa mga basketball aficionados baka magkaroon ng debate,โ he added.
Caidic, considered one of the greatest shooters in the Philippines, said the success of the four-point play lies in whether the PBA players can adapt to it.
โAng four-point shot good for entertainment lang talaga, for PBA All-Star Games, pero dahil in-adapt sa PBA, tignan natin kung maka-adapt โyung mga players, huwag lang muna โyung mga bata,โ Caidic said. ๐FASTBREAK
