“The return of the comeback”
Muling susubok si Filipino cager Kobe Paras para maglaro ng basketball internationally.
Matapos sumama siya sa EastWest Private (EWP), isang sports and entertainment management company na base sa Amerika.
Ito rin ang humahawak kay teen prodigy Kai Sotto at iba pang young Filipino ballers.
Sa isang panayam naman sa dating coach ni Kobe na si Bo Perasol, na suportado siya na umalis si Paras sa bansa dahil walang katiyakan kung kailan papayagan ng gobyerno ang muling pagbubukas ng college basketball sa Pilipinas.
Kobe is too talented to be kept waiting for things to come. I believe it is his obligation to pursue these and showcase his God-given talent. Our program was blessed to have been a part of his journey,” ani Perasol
Dadag pa ni Perasol, nagpasalamat siya kay Kobe na binigyan niya ng pagkakataon ang lumalaking basketball program ng UP at ngalaro siya ng buong puso sa koponan ng Fighting Maroons.
It’s not every season that one gets to convince a talent like Kobe to be part of a growing program like the UP MBT. He took a chance on us and played his heart out. It’s for our new players to begin stepping up where he has left off,” ani Perasol
Sa huli, wala naman sinabi kung saang liga maglalaro si Paras at kasalukuyang nasa Estados Unidos para mahasa pa ang basketball skills ng Filipino cager. — sa panulat ni John Jude Alabado
