      Limited edition Nike ‘Believer’ tees launched


      This year, the entire nation witnessed Team Pilipinas return to the international hard court with grit and determination.

      Composed of the Philippines’ current crop of finest ballers, many believe that the 2007 Team Pilipinas is our best chance to date to make it back to the Olympic stage.

      After whipping strong contenders Taipei and fellow FIBA Asian Cup bracket Iran in the 11th Jones Cup in Taipei and recently holding off Lebanon to win the Smart 4-Nation Manila Invitational, Team Pilipinas is on the trail blaze, as it aspires for basketball supremacy.

      On July 28, 2007 the nation’s Olympic fate shall be sealed as Team Pilipinas enters the pre-qualifier FIBA Asian Cup in Tokushima, Japan. The team carries with them the entire Philippines’ hope of ending the over 30-year Olympic drought in basketball.

      Despite threats of tough contenders, Team Pilipinas’ spirit remains undeterred with the national team’s Coach Chot Reyes’ battle cry “This team and this country have come too far to be denied the chance to bring home an Olympic medal. We will go to Beijing or we will die trying!”

      Nike Philippines joins the numerous Filipinos who believe in Team Pilipinas. Through its limited edition “Believer” t-shirt, Nike hopes to encourage more people to show their support.

      “We take our full support behind Team Pilipinas to another level, as we call on our countrymen to “believe” that the Filipino ballers have what it takes to conquer the international hard court,” said Nike Philippines Country Marketing Manager Melissa Crucillo.

      The must-have Nike Tee bears the word “Believer” in front, and an image of Team Pilipinas at the back. They are available at Nike retail outlets nationwide for PHP 895 at select Nike stores. “Let us all take pride in Team Pilipinas and believe in our basketball heroes!” invited Crucillo.

      A few days before Team Pilipinas makes it appearance at the FIBA Asian games, celebrities showed their support for the team by attending a one-day photo shoot wearing Nike’s limited edition “Believer” t-shirts.

      The star-studded line-up consisted of PBA Commissioner Noli Eala, BAP-Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas Executive Director Patrick Gregorio, former National Team members Alvin Patrimonio, Jeffrey Cariaso and Olsen Racela, RP Youth and De La Salle Head Coach Franz Pumaren, Team Pilipinas Assistant Coach and Ateneo Head Coach Norman Black, former Olympian Akiko Thomson, TV personalities Reema Chanco and Jinno Rufino, entertainers Francis Magalona and Michael V., sportscaster & triathlete Tricia Chiongbian, supermodel Tweetie de Leon, and trendsetter Tim Yap.

      Also available in select Nike stores are replica Team Pilipinas Jackets at P1,995, as well as replica Team Pilipinas Jerseys and Shorts at P1,545 each.

      I believe! give me some freebies..
      It's ironic to see limited efforts from players with maximum salary.
      I wish they would apply "sabermetrics" in those financially challenged PBA teams to acquire players who are value for their money.

        • overview VERY IMPORTANTTTT

          Only the champion of the 2007 FIBA Asia Championship will have his ticket secured for the 2008 Olympic Basketball Tournament for Men in Beijing. If China will be the champion, then this right goes to the Vice-Champion, as China is already qualified as host team.

          But for those who will not reach the Final in Tokushima, Japan on 5th of August, there will be a second chance for two teams from Asia in the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament for Men. This tournament will be played from 7th – 13th July 2008 in a country and city still to be decided. FIBA will make this decision in December 2007.

          The two Asian teams for the 2008 FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament for Men will be the two best placed teams of the 2007 FIBA Asia Championship in Korea after the champion and excluding China.

                  Philippines


                  Sorry but without those naturalized players playing for other countries they are just pretenders and can never be contenders.
                  agree looks like lebanon,qatar, jordan and all middle east countries think they are contenders but in reality they are not. they became contenders only because they have naturalized player to beef up their chances to become contenders in Asia.

                        pennisi and taulava has passed through several process and submitted all necessary requirements to prove that they have filipino blood. there should be no question here. we could even afford to naturalize one super center from europe or america but we chose to live and die with our filipino lineup.

                        you are lucky that we never naturalize a star 7-ft center...

                            • if we really want to naturalize a player..

                              it's too easy... why?'cause they lyk filipinos...

                              remmber the 80's when rp has 3 naturalized players... aaa...

                              some of our players, u say that they r americans
                              they just migrated to us...

                              now look at yao.. he's now in the us.. so dats still the same w/ our players, they stay in the us... ryt?? hehe... they're living in the us...

                              atleast our players are now living here in phi except for norwood... hehe
