After a fruitless campaign in the recent FIBA World Cup, the Philippine's passion for basketball reaps dividends as Gilas Pilipinas scores the gold with a win over erstwhile conqueror Jordan, 70-60, in the recent Asian Games 2023 held in Hangzhou, China.
In its last three matches, the Filipinos had to go through Iran, host China, and then Jordan - all contenders for the crown with the first two games won by a single point! Heroics by Justin "Noypi" Brownlee and a stellar supporting cast proved to be the difference in the composition of this team. No B. League players, no KBL players, no NBA player - just the best PBA players and the best all-around import coached by the best tactician of all time!
See what a difference in LEADERSHIP can make!
