Filipinos Packed in Oracle Arena, Cheers On Warriors

Amidst the drama in the first half of the playoffs, hundreds of excited and weary fans cheer on, many of whom are Filipinos rooting for their favorite NBA stars.

Elizabeth Ferrer, a solid GWS fan, talked about a sad experience last Christmas when she paid $600 for a game ticket to watch a play between the Warriors and the Lakers only to see her beloved team lose. Yet, this did not stop Ferrer from continuing to support the Curry and his team. Wearing a trademark GSW Jersey, Ferrer was all smiles when she said, “Go Warriors! I hope you win!”

Season ticket holders for 20 years, married couple primo and Maritess De Guzman are both sporting the souvenir yellow sweatswirts of the GSW as they wait for the much anticipated game night.
Primo shows undying support as he says, \”Hopefully, they make history this year.\”

Nike also went wild as t-shirts and jerseys were reportedly sold at a low price of $20 to a skyrocketing rate of $200! The latter being the ones worn by the players themselves.

Some Filipinos who were interviewed are happily saying that they have spent $3,000 on a ring side seat. One Filipino even mentions shedding $300.00. All this goes to show how far Pinoys are willing to go just to see their favorite stars tear down the arena live.

He is averaging 15.1 points in 2022-2023 and 17.0 points in 2023-2024.

He will wear number 21 but as of this writing it’s uncertain when he will show off with Stephen Curry and other Warriors superstars. But Post is officially a Warriors.

Giannis Antetokounmpo fails in Olympics 2024

Despite the 34 points per single game, Giannis Antetokounmpo of team Greece failed against Stephen Curry (team U.S.A.) who got 36 points in men’s basketball Olympics 2024 in Paris.

“I’ve waited. I have wanted to be on this stage for a long time but I wasn’t fortunate enough,” Giannis admitted.

Giannis, a Milwaukee Bucks power forward and center, recalled that Greek basketball took 16 years to be in the Olympics. “In 16 years, I will be 45 years old. When I see my kids out there, they are able to see me compete on this stage and I can tell them the stories of how it was.” 29- year-old NBA superstar added.

As the Olympics 2024 ended. Antetokounmpo and Curry topped as the player who has the most points in a single game.

Meanwhile, LeBron James and Nikola Jokic got the fourth and fifth-ever Olympic triple-doubles. Kevin Durant, now the first four-time Olympic gold medallist in men’s Olympic basketball history.

Moreover Victor Wembanyama (10 blocks) beat Anthony Davis (9 blocks) as he got the most blocks per game.

Lebron ridicules Wembanyama Olympics debut

NBA legend Lebron James mocked team Victor Wembanyama’s team France when they lost to Germany 85 – 71 last August 2, 2024 in Paris, France.

“I wasn’t very impressed with their last game. I didn’t think they were ready for the physicality of Germany. Other than that, they were playing some good ball.” Lebron added that France is not ready for Germany’s physicality.

However team France made a comeback win against Germany last August 8, 2024 with 73 – 69 that stunned the team USA.. It can be recalled that France went 2-1 in Group B last August 2 against Germany.

Wembanyama added 12 rebounds in that game, but not enough to win. This is his first time in
Olympics 2024 yet as of this writing Wemby is getting controversial.
