"There haven’t been so many Filipino Americans in the [NBA] league, and Filipinos, period. So knowing that I get to represent that and kind of change the narrative in any way that I can, that’s what I’m trying to do.

Hopefully, we can see those dudes [Jalen Green and Dylan Harper] in a Gilas jersey at some point."

Make It Happen 🇵🇭

Kai Sotto isn’t done chasing his NBA dream.🔥

After leading Gilas Pilipinas to a 2-0 window in the FIBA Basketball World Cup Asian Qualifiers with 15.5 points and 15.0 rebounds per game, Sotto once again showed he can make an impact on the international stage.

And now, Tim Cone is ready to do whatever he can to help the 7-foot-1 center get another NBA opportunity.

“I still think you need to get into the league. Find a way. I'll talk to Miami. I'll see what I can do,” Cone told Sotto, via Tiebreaker Times.

With Cone’s connection to Erik Spoelstra and the Miami Heat, could this be the lifeline Sotto has been waiting for?🏀

Horace Grant believes Walker Kessler can give the Lakers something they’ve been missing in the middle.

The 4x NBA champion didn’t hold back when comparing Kessler to what Deandre Ayton brought, via Kyle Odegard of Action Network:

“No disrespect to Ayton and the rest of those guys, but I think they were missing that toughness in the middle. The rim protector.”

Grant praised Kessler’s ability to impact the game on both ends:

“He can score, block shots, rebound. That toughness.”

After watching Kessler in Utah, Grant says he “enjoyed what I saw.”

If Kessler brings that same physicality and defensive presence to LA, the Lakers could finally have the interior toughness they’ve been searching for.
