Gilas Pilipinas into Spain 2014

Wow. What a game. After having to get out of the comfort of my house to stand in a crowd of basketball fanatics, I do not regret watching an international basketball game. This basketball leg is the counter part of an Asian qualifier of the FIVB Asian volleyball games where I am more known to be a fan of. The FIBA was definitely worth watching. Most especially when it was the Philippines in the semi-finals. Our country was doing very well and actually had a shot at the 2014 FIBA World Cup in Spain. To make things short, they did it!

Gilas Pilipinas played with pure heart to get to where they are now. And that's Jimmy who hit crucial three pointers.
