Another historic day for the Philippines as another player with Filipino roots made it to
the NBA, well the most hype ever.
Filipino-American Jalen Green was picked second overall in the 2021 NBA Draft by the
Houston Rockets. He joined reigning Sixth Man of the Year from the Utah Jazz Jordan
Clarkson and Raymond Townsend as the only Filipinos to make it to the NBA.
The highly touted rookie received a lot of congratulations on his big day and one of
them is the eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao.
Pacquiao turned to Twitter to express his excitement for Green.
\”Congratulations to @JalenGreen on getting drafted #2 overall. Looking forward to
watching your journey to becoming a superstar.”
Green has been to the Philippines twice as he participated to the National Basketball
Training Center commonly known as the NBTC. He easily captivated the Pinoy hearts
with his leaping abilities to lead to monster slams and unlimited highlights.
But despite his stardom, Green is also a huge of Pacquiao. Weeks before the draft, he
personally visited Pacquiao, not in the Wild Card Gym but in Fox Studio where they held
the kickoff pressconference for the Pacquiao-Errol Spence fight.
He then got the chance to take a photo with Pacquiao along with his belt.

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.
