Big shoes to fill for next SBP Boss

After the recently concluded 2015 FIBA Asia Championship in Changsha, China, the Philippines improved its world ranking from 31st to 287th, surpassing South Korea and Jordan.

The country’s performance in the sport has consistently gone up since the formation of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP), the national basketball federation, in 2006. Before this, even with basketball as the most loved sport by Filipinos, the Philippines found itself ranked lower than countries that hardly had basketball courts.
