They have tons of leagues here in LA, I had a Filipino neighbor before that I was close friends with. I played with him in his league. They even had a team from Philippines fly here for the league tournament. Their tall guys are usually 6’2 and 6’3. They are either shooters or just quick, no athleticism.

I grew up around them and they love to hoop. In high school I would go to a park where they were and hoop with them and concentrate on my defense because they were so quick and athletic. Helped me a lot lol
