    I’m so down for a miracle Olympics run by a nation of historically undersized people.

    could kai sotto be an nba mvp candidate in the next 5 years?

  4. Bloody hell, that’s an upset our masses will rejoice for a while yet.

    Does this knock Latvia out of qualifying for the Olympics?

    Coach Chot died for this.

    Fans weren’t trolling, the coach was the problem all along.

    Justin Brownlee is the filipino MJ. Biggest win in a while for the Philippines. This game just proved that Tim Cone is an international level coach.

    Practically won off just the 5 starters. The team will be gassed in 20 hours when the Georgia game tips off but wow what a win and finally for all the close calls we had against superior teams (2014 ARG, 2014 CRO, 2016 FRA, 2021 SER, 2023 DR, kinda 2023 ITA) we finally got one.

    Brownlee is incredible and to have him come from becoming a Ginebra hero to now national hero is incredible. For those not familiar, he’s kinda a weird type of naturalized player since he’s played for a Filipino club team for parts of a decade now so he definitely isn’t a typical naturalized player that’s a hired gun. Even at 35 he’s still so good.

    Kai was incredible too, and June Mar very underrated and was a handful to stop too.

    Basically the starters were great for Gilas. Newsome great two way play and reverted back to being an incredible role player floor general after becoming more a star with his club team.

    What a win.

  17. I love how much the Philippines loves basketball. Such a physically small people obsessed with a tall-man’s sport really makes me smile for some reason.
