Award Ceremony


Our first two games will not be seen on ESPN Philippines that irrelevant anglo-centric channel. This schedule is from ESPN Taiwan.

Powerade Team Pilipinas will face Jordan in the first game of this year's Jones Cup. Notable players in that team are Rashim Wright and Sam Daghlas. Jordan is known for its tough defense (limited us to single digit scoring in the first quarter back in 2007 Jones Cup). The West Asian team did beat us again in that year's Fiba-Asia Championship too.

Jordan is gunning for its third successive Jones Cup title. I do hope this team can solve the Jordanian's defensive puzzle. The Nationals' poor shooting also did us in. Unlike before height-wise, Powerade Team Pilipinas can match up well with big Jordanian guards. While Rashim Wright orchestrates the play, it was Sam Daghlas who did most of the damage.

Philippines did not play in the 2008 Jones Cup after the infantile Taiwanese organizers, frustrated with their failure to invite a Philippine Basketball Association-powered squad, told SBP
it should “keep discipline, as it happened before that your team had fight against other teams." In reality it is the Taiwanese team who instigate riots in that tournament. After the infamous 1999 brawl between Philippines and Taiwan, the home team followed it up with another war in 2000 against Korea.
