Live Bar, June 22 recently, the Lakers assistant Phil Handi appeared in the Philippines to watch the local PBA League.
In an interview, Handi talked about the topic of local and non-mixed Filipino players playing NBA: “I think it’s a matter of time, it’s a part of the game, and the game has been evolving. We can reiterate the Philippine basketball culture. It is really only a matter of time. You can expect this to become a reality in the next few years.”
Kai Sotto, who is 2 meters 21, is expected to become the first Philippine native non-mixed-race player to play NBA. He has received many invitations from NBA Summer League.
