Filipino American Christopher Cunanan shines as Lakers' associate director for Game Entertainment

THE THOUGHT JUNKIE

When Christopher Cunanan sat down for this interview, the first thing he immediately mentioned were his parents, Dr. Roberto and Zeny Cunanan. 'My parents are very proud Filipino-Americans and they love it anytime our heritage gets recognition.' And as the Associate Director for Game Entertainment for one of the most popular sports teams in the world, the Los Angeles Lakers, Christopher has the unique opportunity to showcase his culture to an international audience.

Christopher's story began in a small town in West Virginia, United States, the place his parents moved to when they migrated from the Philippines in the 1970s. Growing up, Christopher has always been involved in sports.
