their shyt ass diet and genes will never allow them to get into any respectable professional team sport
plus they're all like 5'5" and end up with hypertension and diabetes by age 40

i used to play bball with a lot of filipinos in hs, i was like 5'9 as a junior and i'd play center
"who's guarding big man?"


their center would always be some dude who was like 5'8 and 250 pounds built like a samoan bullfrog.

Pinoy here

It's cheap as hell and easily accessible plus it was also passed from generations to generations. I remember when I was a kid my dad would tell me to stop playing Playstation and watch the game with him. And also because most pinoys are competitive especially when it comes to sports

I understand it's a great game and even better when you follow the post, but seems kind of odd that the country has really latched onto the sport like that considering there are no full blooded Filipino NBA players. Jordan Clarkson is half, which I'm sure the Lakers will let everyone know since it's great PR. They seem to be obsessed with the game and it's the unquestioned number 1 sport there, which leads me to believe that within the next 15 years we'll see at least 1 high level basketball player that comes from there

Anyone on here know how this happened? I can understand how a sport can be popular in a country when that country has produced a player or two, but the fact nobody has come from there yet they absolutely love the game is crazy to me.

1. American military bases in the Philippines probably exposed the locals to the sport.
2. Easy sport to follow. Ball - dribble - throw in net. Games like baseball, football and hockey have a ton of rules and equipment. In b-ball, all you need is a ball and a net. Much like soccer.
