00:00 Dream come true for some Filipino basketball players to be taught by an NBA champion coach.
00:06 In a rare occasion, they were with Miami Heat head coach Eric Spostra in a basketball clinic that was also visited by some NBA players.
00:15 Assistant coach of Team USA and Filipino-American mentor for FIBA World Cup.
00:20 Even though Spostra has been here for a few times, his visit is always special because of the reception of Filipino fans.
00:28 I've tried to explain it to everybody but unless you actually come to Manila and really experience it, it's tough to articulate that.
00:36 We've only been here for 24 hours and all the players now understand what I was talking about.
00:42 Coach's answer about mental toughness, I saw that it's really important to journal and meditate.
00:52 The moment that coach complimented my game earlier, it's really, I'm good.
01:00 I'm really blessed to hear that from him.
01:03 Team USA will play in the group C of FIBA World Cup here in the country.
01:08 It will be played for the cup of some NBA rising stars like Anthony Edwards, Jalen Brunson and Austin Reeves.
01:14 Even though their lineup is young, Spostra believes that they will be a match for the World Cup.
01:20 This is the future of the NBA. These are the future stars.
01:24 The list can go on and on but Anthony Edwards, that's going to be a household name.
01:29 It's a humble group. It's an ambitious group.
01:32 It's a group that understands that we have to work together to accomplish our ultimate team goal and that's what makes it really cool.
01:40 According to coach, he's really proud of his Filipino heritage, especially that he shared a lot of Filipino values with his mother.
01:48 He's also excited to watch the Philippines play in the World Cup.
01:52 It's going to be exciting. I'm going to try to catch a game. Coach Tim and I have connected.
01:59 I hope to meet up with Coach Chott as well. But I haven't seen a whole lot of them.
02:06 But I'm looking forward to watching them play and watching them compete.
02:11 Team USA will play New Zealand on Saturday at 8.40pm in the Mall of Asia Arena.
