The filipinos i grew up in queens played ball all the time. Crazy athletic and most can jump out the gym, but no fundamentals to make it to any legit tourney or HS.

There's Filipino Communities in NY? Where at in Queens?

:russ: That's another thing. They're the biggest fukking degenerates cause like you said they always pick longshots or make impulse bets for no reason.

That website has me in tears with some of the shyt that goes on ":smile: Habi poikwe iuwerko llko piko LA Clippers +8.5! $10,000,000,000 pongo jak la veng"

Like i can't read a damn thing all I know is this dude is about to lose his year's pay on the second half of a random ass basketball game at 2 in the morning.

Not really breh.
They were colonized by the Spaniards, and later, the U.S. took over. They are heavily influenced by the colonization of their country.

You may be right as far as culture goes, but I used to have an interest in demographics and came across a Filipino genetic report. The average Filipino is a hodgepodge of Asian and South Asian type people. The average Fillipino is not mixed with Spanaird, though I think they worship the ones that are mixed such that it is considered standard of beauty..

2 of my best friends in middle school were Flips... Us and my 2 other boys called ourselves the Fab 5 and one of them was a lefty that used to mimic Jalen down to the last detail...

We used to give older dudes the business...They were obsessed with hoops and getting puzzy..And everytime I went to their crib their grandma would cook bomb azz Philipino and try to stuff..

Yeah, I have no data or evidence to support any claims that I've made.
But all my Filipino friends and probably 90% of the ones I've met (I work in retail banking) have Spanish surnames.
And a lot of the curvy broads people are describing above definitely look mestizo, not as native as people in the outer regions of the Phillipines archipelago.
