不好意思上一篇推文太長，我直接回文，因為覺得這很重要，也跟我們或其他國有關

這個連結是FIBA針對這案例的說明，Greg Slaughter確實沒在16歲前取得國籍
然而現在這並非必要，因為16歲後才取得國籍還有額外可出賽的附加條件

上面是FIBA針對上場球員資格認定的官方規則(原文是PDF檔)
其中跟16歲條款有關的是第21條:
For purposes of letter (a) above and in the event of doubts, any player claiming to
have acquired a legal nationality before having reached the age of sixteen (16),
without presenting the respective passport with a date of issue before the player’s
sixteenth birthday, requires a decision by the Secretary General confirming that he
does not fall under the restriction of letter (a) above. In taking this decision the
Secretary General shall take into account the following criteria:
- the number of years during which the player has lived in the country, for the
national team of which he wishes to play;
- the number of seasons during which the player has participated in domestic
competitions in the country of the national team for which he wishes to play;
- any other criteria capable of establishing a significant link between the player and
the country, for the national team of which he wishes to play.
實際上在該國居住時間也是附加條件之一
配合第一個連結的FIBA說明，Greg Slaughter在菲律賓居住及打球有11年
因此可能以這部分認定他可以打
我不曉得籃協高層知不知道有這些附加條件(我是到現在才知道....)
但既然有寫在FIBA官方規則，代表會從這些條件去做判定
影響的就不只Greg Slaughter，還有我們那些長期在SBL打球又沒在16歲前取得國籍都是
重點是要像菲律賓一樣持續提交澄清信，才會有附加條件的認定機會
希望籃協高層能好好注意看看
