Jayson Castro William

Sometimes, all one needs is a reason to believe.

Gilas 3.0 just gave every basketball-loving Filipino a reason to truly believe.

That Olympic dream is not a pipe dream after all. It is actually a possibility.

Team Pilipinas proved that much in a stunning 87–73 victory over Iran, widely considered as the top team in the tournament, markedly better than everyone else, including the hosts and perennial powerhouse South Korea.

Jayson Castro and Terrence Romeo

A win is a win.

Gilas Pilipinas opened round 2 action on a winning note, overcoming a poor start, an injury to naturalized reinforcement Andray Blatche, and sloppy play all around, to eke out a 73-66 victory over a hard-fighting and decidedly more disciplined Japan five.
