Al S. Panlilio, president of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas, In the waning hours of the FIBA World Cup 2023
In the waning hours of the FIBA World Cup 2023 on Sunday, September 10, Al S. Panlilio, president of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas, looked back at the two-week-long global showpiece that was about to end and felt a slight flutter in his heart.
“I’m extremely proud of all the LOC [Local Organizing Committee] staff and volunteers. And extreme joy for the coming together of the FIBA community to make this World Cup a memorable one.” The losing finalist could be booked on the same flight, as with the teams that met for third-place – USA and Canada – all three of them left to rue what might have been.
Also by Monday, a Gilas Pilipinas team, this time under Barangay Ginebra San Miguel coach Tim Cone, will be kicking off less than two weeks of practice for the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, and NBA star Jordan Clarkson would be back in camp with the Utah Jazz, naturalized player Justin Brownlee taking his place in the national team.
