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.

Giannis, Luka, Embiid, Wemby overlooked as Durant hypes Tatum

As the Boston Celtics won vs Phoenix (127 – 112) last March 15, 2024, NBA superstar Kevin Durant hyped Tatum as the one who will control the league for the next 10 or 12 years.

Despite the outstanding performance of Joel Hans Embiid Philadelphia 76ers, Doncic Luka Mavericks, Giannis Sina Ugo Antetokounmpo Milwaukee Bucks, Victor Wembanyama Spurs and others, Durant still saw Celtic power forward Jayson Christophe Tatum as the best.

Durant said after the Wednesday practice that Tatum is consistent all year and assumed him as the legit candidate.

“Putting up a high number of points. Stats matter when it comes to MVP. His team is winning games, most importantly, by a landslide. The record factors into it. He’s had MVP-caliber seasons the last few years, too. So, it’s just a matter of your narrative at this point.” Durant remarked.
