Sir Michael,

thanks for your message, looking forward to meet you when im there.  in my country basketball is the most loved sports, and personally loved it too...
have u been here to the Philippines sir? if the league there is done now now, you are free...you can visit my country if you like sir, ill accompany you here, as the 38th season of the Philippine Basketball will start on the 30th of Sept., lets watch it live. they said that Philippine basketball is Physical so i want you to see that. i told you this coz maybe you come across here.

hope i can work with you sir. Id love to receive message from you anytime sir.
if i save enough money for this month sir, i will fly next month, but still worrying if i still can pass freely our immigration here, if i dont have an invitation letter, that what im worried a bout.

you know what sir, i really love to be working in a  basketball community, even the smallest basketball work, im up to sir.

good luck to you sir.
all the best,
juan

Hi Mic / Sanwa / Juan / Dval,

We have a basketball group here - you can find basketball games in Beeline at Chroy Changva or you can play hoops (half court) at the Olympic Stadium.

Rules here is a little strange (given in the Philippines you play whole court race to 24 or 30 or until you literally drop dead in tiredness), games are race to 4 - and then team switches.

I used to play but got into a nasty motorcycle accident recently, where a speeding car bump me from behind and didn't bother to stop - and I ended up a broken forearm and had two metals inserted.

If you guys are interested, maybe we can hook up sometime.

Hi michael, are these games against other competitors from other countries? If it is, I would like to join and play. If there's still a spot for me.

Travelmic

Hi Vincent,
The games are within the Cambodian Basketball League. The teams are made of Cambodians and foreigners. Basically the highest level in the country. There could be a spot for you. Players registration ends next week. Come to our team practice on Monday 7pm at the Beeline Arena (Chroy Changva).

Bonjour Michael,
Je suis français de Toulouse et serais sur Phnom Penh très bientôt dans le courant du mois de novembre.

J'ai une solide expérience de joueur à haut niveau même si j'ai un peu passé l'âge, et ai beaucoup de choses a transmettre (j'entraine dans la région toulousaine).

Serait-il possible de se rencontrer lors de mon passage afin que tu m'en dises plus sur ce que tu recherches précisément.

Merci,
++
