Seems this basketball-savvy nation went nuts once again, eh? Well, there are lot of reasons why every single Pinoy basketball fan will be happy more than they used to.

Two years ago, MVP treated Filipinos in a spectacular basketball event, by which everyone who were at the Smart Araneta Coliseum witnessed our national team and the selection team from the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), collided with some of the best from the National Basketball Association (NBA), the squad which featured the triumvirate of superstars in Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose and Kobe Bryant.

When a bull lost its rose.

Just a piece of observation on the series though I never witnessed everything game per game.

When Derrick Roses loses himself to injury at the very first game of the 2012 National Basketball Association Playoffs, it changed the fate of his team and the entire competition on the Eastern Conference.

Chicago Bulls was known for a championship contender before, especially when they had their MVP on their lineup. They even win games during the time he’s at sick bay though. But the fact that this is playoff time, the intensity level rises, players mature even and every one’s fighting at a higher risk.
