Manny Pacquiao shows love to Fil-Am Jalen Green after being drafted 2 nd overall in NBA Draft

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.

Crawford to retire soon – Eddie Hearns

Canelo Alvarez ex-promoter Eddie Hearns predicts that Terrence Crawford will retire after his victory vs Israil Madrimov last August 3, 2024 in Los Angeles.

Crawford is now the 4-division champ after winning by unanimous decision.

However, Hearns said that three fighters are a must fight against Crawford before hanging his gloves – Vergil Ortiz, Jaron Ennis, and Canelo.

“I don’t think Crawford wants a Boots fight. I don’t think Crawford will fight again unless he fights Canelo Alvarez because he’s got money, he’s getting on [in age],” Hearns revealed.

He added that Crawford ducks Ortiz. He also mocked him for getting lucky with the scoring for his fight against Madrimov.

Hearns underscored that 36 year old Crawford is craving for mega-money, mega-fights, and real legacy fights that is why he does not like to fight the undefeated Ennis. He furthered that 27 year old Ennis is like the young Crawford version that is why he is skipping him.

Meanwhile, Crawford still hates Ennis because he is overrated.

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.
