Basketball, #PlayPinoy and doing it My Way


The Philippines as a nation has its greatest loves. Filipinos love basketball in terms of sports (so it’s surprising that the national game, sipa, is not a competitive event in international competitions). Filipinos love Frank Sinatra’s My Way when it comes to karaoke / videoke, so much so that this song should carry a “sing at your own risk” label. Filipinos also embraced and loved Gilas Pilipinas when in represented the Philippines in the FIBA World Olympics. So what do we get when we combine basketball, Gilas Pilipinas and My Way? Nike captured it in this basketball #PlayPinoy commercial.
