Now we're proud of Gilas

With the right coach and team players, now it can be told. We can play against the best in the world. If we can beat world no. 7 Latvia, we can be in the Olympics one day. To dream is free but reality was quite close. Until we lost the new discovery of the year, Kai Sotto, to injury in the games that really counted. We were even leading Brazil without him in the first half of our last game to qualify for the Olympics. Coach Tim Cone is now the GOAT as far as Filipino coaches are concerned. Why? Cause he's lived here since he was nine years old in Belair, Makati. And now we all know that we have what it takes to challenge the best in the world. Cone gave us that supreme confidence never seen before. This is the hype we should play up. If sports icons MVP and Ramon Ang can continue their teamwork for our national sport, we have arrived. Now, let's discuss what happened to Ateneo's big guy Mason Amos, who's also part of Gilas Pilipinas. It's not La Salle's fault or so called poaching? It's the boy who simply wanted out. With the DLSU line up for the forthcoming season in September, I do not think all La Sallites are happy with this shocking news. Same thing if Ateneo also got one of the key Taft players as that would also HURT. For a lot of us, it's not victory at all costs. Christian education has taught us Fair Play.
