Jordan Clarkson Narrates Story

this is great! I did my two-year tour in the Philippines. very random thing that hoops is so big over there, but it is absolutely true. and props to JC for representing the Pinoy culture, he is 1/4 filipino, but as far as I know he has never lived there.

yep I think his mom is half Filipino. I saw like a 6 minute trailer, anyone know where I can see the full documentary ?
 
It is kinda surprising to me that few (or no?) native Filipinos have ever played at the highest level in the USA. Manila is one of the largest cities in the world and the Philippines has a population of over 100 million. there is a ****-ton of ball players over there...

I always played in a Filipino summer league here in Canada to keep me conditioned for my college basketball team . They are fast ,smart, good handles but lacked the size and physicality to make it in the NBA. Undersized

It's less about being undersized and more about the development infrastructure not being there.

I'm talking more about Filipinos in North America that I've played against, I found that as a major characteristic, I can't speak on players in the Phillipines though.

He's way better than Shandon Anderson.

He's probably the most offensively gifted player that The Jazz have ever had come off the bench.
