While the FIBA rule is a national team may suit up only one naturalized player, Qatar appears to be an exception. Aside from Bosnian and Senegalese players, Qatar has imports from Congo and Egypt. FIBA puts more importance on when a foreigner received the passport of the country he is representing than a player born abroad but with blood heritage. In the Philippine case, Andray Blatche is the only naturalized player cleared by FIBA. It would help us more if we just relax and not put too much pressure on ourselves.
