Gilas Pilipinas (Philippine National Mens Basketball Team) had a chance to play against LeBron James who is arguably the best basketball player in the planet right now.
LeBron joined by some of the best collage basketball players in the Philippines with the likes of Bobby Ray Park, Kiefer Ravena, Terence Romeo, Kevin Alas and others. James team went up against the Gilas Pilipinas National team in a 10 minute scrimmage as part of the Witness History event at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
Gilas Pilipinas won the scrimmage but LeBron almost wont it for his squad after missing two crucial game winning shot.
"The reason why I missed those last two shots, is because my jersey is too damn small." James said while addressing the jampacked crowed at the MOA Arena.
The scrimmage doesn't really mean anything for the upcoming FIBA Asia tournament but for National coach Chot Reyes it is somehow a symbolic event.
"The theme of the whole event was ‘Witness History,’ and that’s exactly what we hope to achieve with Gilas in our FIBA Asia campaign,Hopefully all of us can be witness to history come August 1.” said Reyes.
