An all-access pass with the +Indiana Pacers in Manila, as they start the process of building upon a successful season that saw them bow out of the Eastern Conference Finals after a tough 7-game series against the +Miami HEAT. The Pacers arrive in the Philippines, take their team photo and take part in a high-energy team practice at NBA Global Games 2013. It's pretty cool for the +NBA to go to the Philippines considering the country is BASKETBALL CRAZY--it has its own league, with its own superstars and probably the strongest basketball fan base in all of Asia. What is surprising however is that the NBA chose the Pacers to represent the league instead of the NBA Champion Heat whose head coach, +Erik Spoelstra, not happens to be Filipino, but also the first Asian American to coach an NBA team. On a lesser note, I also grew up there too spending my teenage years there which make this even more special--GO ISM BEARCATS!!!!!!!
