Hangzhou—Heroes were born and history was made as the Philippines ended a six-decade wait to be crowned kings of Asian basketball once again.
After scoring a scrambling, come-from-behind win against host China in the semifinals, the Filipinos didn’t need to play catch up this time against the Jordanians, who beat them to a pulp in the preliminaries, 87-62. With Jefferson leading Jordan’s final push, they threatened to within 50-56, but Kouame strung up nine points going home to keep the Filipinos on safe ground at 68-59.The road to the basketball throne was never an easy one for the Filipinos.
