About this episode

A.k.a. Paeng Bartolome to his Filipino friends, our guest is an American sports journalist who fell in love with the Philippines and wrote "Pacific Rims," which covers a season with eventual PBA champs Alaska Aces as well as bizarre matches on barangay courts. He also talks about the downside of Filipinos' obsession with a tall man's sport and the chances of a home-grown Filipino ever playing in the NBA.
