VIDEO: Exclusive, IBL CEO Junas Miradiarsyah: Player Naturalization Is OK, Under Circumstances

JAKARTA - For the CEO of the Indonesia Basketball League (IBL) Junas Miradiarsyah, the naturalization of players is not something that should be questioned. The problem is that this is not prohibited by the parent world basketball organization (International Basketball Federation) and many countries do it. However, naturalization must be carried out with the caveat that it does not deny local seeds. The combination of naturalized players and local players has formed a strong national basketball team. With the presence of naturalized players, said Junas, there is an accelerated increase in achievement and there is also a transfer of knowledge and culture brought by naturalized players.
