2011 Jones Cup Finale

This year's Jones Cup Basketball tournament has definitely been the best in recent years.

My reasons?
- Tournament format changed. Previously there was no elimination games and the winner was decided by overall points throughout the tournament. This year, two knock-out round inserted after round robin format. Result - Thrilling playoff games!

- All teams fielded national teams. With the London Olympic qualifiers and Asian Cup just around the corner, all Asian countries that participated in the tournament sent their best players to compete. Result - Highly competitive games.

- The rising of Korea Republic and Smart Gilas Philippines. The Koreans entered the final game of the tournament as the number one seed beating the likes of Iran, Philippines, and Chinese Taipei while the Smart Gilas team shocked two-time defending champions Iran by beating them in the first game of the tournament. Result - Excitement headed to Asian Cup as teams are more competitive.

- Hamed Haddadi. The guy who beat my two teams - Korea and Philippines - was phenomenal. Sure, the towering height played an enormous advantage to him, but even 7 footers from Korea and Philippines could not stop this man. Back to back dominating 36 and 37 points in the Semi-finals and Finals respectively was too much for the rest of the league. This man surely belongs to the NBA. Result - Iran champions for the third time.

NBA Allstars in the Philippines!

A dream started by Mr. Manuel V. Pangilinan and his team has become a reality for us. MVP as his known and his foundation led by Coach Reyes brought 9 NBA Superstars to the Philippines last July 2011. For the first time, we witnessed current (not retired) NBA superstars in action as a collective unit and it was truly a dream come true.
