went from not having water where you live a you have to go to all pump to get water, to having a car before. and now i got to ride on a jeep to get around. so you have to go through those sacrifices. you have to go through those hardship and it's hard to really see if you're, you're meant to be here and say, well, the journey from the u. s. to the philippines has become more common. no player from the philippines has ever made it to the n b a. so why has this basketball mad country never produced a star for the world's top league at the enter? they, we still are. asian asians, hard. genetically, small filipinos are genetically small. reason are we're not in n b a because we're so agents, we're still small. number one is height is really height and you can't teach height

. right? and the average filipino player at these easy st. these maybe 2000 back then was little under 65, michael jordan, 66, and he's a shooting guard soul. traditionally back then, when you have 6465 players, they're already centers. so how could you compete? there's a big disparity already because of horror of our, our descent. that's how he turns off. at 6, but huge iran is the same height as modern and via heroes, like steph curry and kyrie irving. but his true strength lie in his skill mentality . he does everything right? shoot a lot. ben can attack the basket post up and defend. i think one thing that's really awesome about, you know, j t, not only is a good guy off the court, but he's that warrior for you on the court. right? so nothing beats that you have character in talent and you know, for us cortez, that's really the best and who better for jerome to hone that talent with that?
