@@amazed8515 the term "filipino" refers to the inhabitants of "las islas filipinas", whereas, the people of "the philippine islands" are called "philippinese".
Spain named the archipelago as "Las Islas Filipinas" (The Islands of King Philip II of Spain). The local languages didn't often use the letter F and replaced it with the P. So Filipinas became Pilipinas. The Americans had renamed Las Islas Filipinas as "The Philippine Islands" or "P.I." during the American Commonwealth period.
You are not aware that Pinoy is like the N word in the USA. In the past decades Pinoy became just another term for Filipino. But sometimes it used for self mockery or to describe things that are mediocre like the Pinoy Hamburger of Mcdonalds.
Filipinos are challenged when playing basketball and volleyball unless international rules will allow a height cap or limit to allow short players to have a fighting chance against teams that have players taller than 6'3". This would be similar to having weight categories in boxing, wrestling, and weightlifting but do you think the tall countries will ever allow it to happen?
While Kai Sotto had a several D1 NCAA colleges wanting him to play, he eventually went the pro route. Last year he joined the GLeague ignite team together with the other NBA prospects like Jalen Green (half Filipino btw) Jonathan Kuminga and more. As you may know 2 mentioned are both in the NBA. While Kai was not yet elligible for this years draft has currently signed to the Adelaide 36ers and try his luck there. The same pathway to the NBA done by Lamelo Ball. FYI. Kai recently played his debut games for Gilas Pilipinas just this year for the Asian Games Qualifiers and Olympic Qualifiers and had his first NBA level competition against Serbia
@@EastsideKicks the heck u call him a filipino? Does he recognize himself as one before he knew that the Philippines is a great fan of basketball? He ain't even 25% filipino stop trippin' man lmao.
@@EastsideKicks it just bothers me when y'all try'na hype someone who's not really proud of representing or recognizing the country just because there are plenty of fans. Unlike Remy Martin whose genuinely proud of being a filipino.
The one in the far right, the red one with shohoku 14 is from the anime "slam dunk", the character mitsui wore this...the anime was trending in the philippines late 90's because the anime itself is about basketball
By the way, as for Kai. He went to GA, in hoops program called TSF for a year and then to the first ever Gleague "developmental program" called Ignite with Jalen Green and Jonathan Kuminga. I don't think he was even eligible for NCAA. He now got an offer in Australia and currently (possibly) started training with his new team. He's now taking the Lamelo Ball route. He's not yet playing but the Australian pro league and his team's socmed followers exceedingly blew up when this was announced, and his jersey is now the best-selling jersey. Any NBA team would want him.
The symbols on “Captain Pinas” (I made that up, lol) tshirt are from the Philippine flag. 3 stars stands for the 3 main island groups, the sun with 8 rays are for the 8 provinces involved in the revolution vs the spanish colonizers.
Different countries call their nations a different name in their own language. "Pilipinas" is Filipino for "Philippines" the same way "España" is Spanish for "Spain".
Kai moved to the US before turning 17 (i think), with his entire family, to have a specialized training ang exposure. He conitnued HS education online. He was still a Senior High student we he started NBA G League with Jalen Green ( another. Pilipino basketbal prodigy). Unfortunately, G league coach did not give him play time. Kai announced his HS graduation and a fw months later, i heard he was not yet eligible for NBA drafting 2021. Meanwhile, he jouned Pilipinas Gilas for international tournaments where the team consist of player 18-25 (i think), ammature. Player, beat out Much bigger, more experiences Korean team, China (i think), etc. Kai is now signed up as a restricted player in NBL Australia. Training started last week.
the difference is..when you say poverty in the philippines..this are kids who cant even buy a pair of slippers..and parents who dont have even a single permanent job..most of them are fisherman who fish in a premetive way and this is not an exageration but they went home often with just a couple of fish not even enough to feed the whole family and the problem starts to where you will find the money to buy rice which is staple to the filipino diet..
There is a warring tribe in the northern Philippines. They practice headhunting. Baseball was introduced to stop the headhunting tradition. You read it right, baseball!
It became really popular when Philippines won over Brazil and and got bronze medal in the World Basketball competition in 1954. Team Captain was Caloy Loyzaga.
Kai Sotto I believe is currently in Australia, prolly preparing for a pro deal there. The current PBA sucks so much due to politics and unbalanced drafting and trades, most of the young and upcoming pro player are deciding to play abroad, particularly in Japan B-league.
In my home town not just basketball but many volleyball baseball softball on before ww2 there's a soccer runner wristlee but you see every town here in the Philippines there's a court of basketball or volleyball, table tennis billiards boxing motorcycle on the mountain race and many more but the most is basketball because you can seen already a town every town there's a court that's why mostly basketball you can seen.
half Filipino half american name Jalen Green 2nd pick in 2021 NBA draft by the Houston Rockets is the currently the best bball player with filipino blood..future T-MAC or even kobe with the way he plays. please check him out
@@vernelmasibay4600 hmmm, i guess you are..read back world history and get along with sri lankans ..so u will realize that ceylon is the old name of sri lanka but still used by old people and even in business community for trading purposes...
Philippines is a basketball sports country Everyone of 80 percent of population love basketball there. Given enough time Filipino themselves could potentially create there own international basketball organizations that will eventually compete with NBA. Filipinos eventually set there own uniform standards of basketball someday in future. Filipino have upper vantage of basketball due to american influence and Filipino geography natural environment and economic conditions that's why basketball is very inexpensive sport conditions is just right.
PILIPINAS is the Filipino term of the PHILIPPINES. FILIPINAS is used as the Spanish counterpart of the country name, which by the way, was the name variant and spelling of the country until it was ceded to the United States in 1898.
this is why many NBA stars gives the philippines and the filipinos some time on a spotlight, GSW has a "filipino" night; kobe, harden, lebron, durant, kyrie, etc etc have visited the country in the past FOR 1 REASON, THE NUMBER OF BASKETBALL FANS IN THE COUNTRY, OF COURSE THE MORE FANS! THE MORE PROFIT THEY'LL GET FROM SELLING SHOES AND MERCH ... thats why they are giving the filipinos so much attention, AND FILIPINOS LOVE ATTENTION!
How does a court cost? They Play anywhere they just put a basket They play on soil, on sand, on a road, a parking lot, etc... Check on Kaloy Channel they play on sand also check on Tenement court , one court for 3,000 inhabitants Kai Sotto is in the NBL Australia
That shirt carries the red,white and blue color of the Philippine flag. If I have to make a change on the tee, I'll replace the sun and 3 stars with metallic gold heat transfer.
Pilipinas is how the natives call Philippines in their native language. Pilipinas is to Philippines as España is to Spain. The American colonizers who took over from Spain had a hard time pronouncing it so they basically just mispronounced it as Philippines and over time it was officially recognized as the official pronunciation internationally.
The only ironic thing was, even though we are a basketball die hard people, especially NBA, we're all updated about NBA but we never really had a pure pinoy in the NBA.
there's no F in the Philippine alphabet. Whenever there is an F in the word, it's changed to P in Tagalog or other regional languages & dialects for local communication. from the Spanish word "Filipinas" it is translated into the local languages as Pilipinas. as was explained in the video, basketball court here in the Philippines could be any vacant lot. All it need is a place to hang the basketball ring.
React to kai sotto. He played for THE SKILL FACTORY at atlanta, joined the nba gleague ignite with jalen green, nix, todd and kuminga. He left ignite because of his commitment to the national team. Is not eligible for 2021 nba draft so he must skip a year to join 2022 nba draft. Currently, he signed to the adelaide 36ers in NBL. same pathway to lamello ball.
Pilipinas is the Tagalog/Filipino name of Philippines. Just like Deutschland is Germany, Island is Iceland, Brasil is Brazil, etc. Kai Sotto opted to go to G-League instead of College for the 2021 draft, along with Jalen Green and others. He was not able to play in the G-League because of the pandemic, thus, did not enter the 2021 draft as he will not be drafted anyway as he had low stock. As the result of the recent events, he signed with an NBL team (in Australia) instead. Probably develop there and still have a shot because he is still young. And lastly, he does not play like Nowitzki at all. He plays like a very very raw Jokic.
pilipinas is the tagalog of philippines, just like every other countries! they have local names for their country ... Deutschland for germany, hellas for greece, serbjia for serbia, spañia for spain, etc etc ... USA dont have that bc USA is just USA, CANADA is just CANADA ...

Not trying to be a jerk but I don't think he's billed for the NBA. I looked at his stats, he didn't go undrafted because he's foreign or anything like that. It just doesn't look like he has the skill set for the NBA.
Pilipinas is the local/native name fir our country, Philippines is the international equivalent or in short Pilipinas=Tagalog/Filipino , Philippines=English. Same with Japan natives refer to their country as Nippon and their language as Nihonggo.
He had multiple offers from elite Universities here in the US, but he opted to play g-league but didn’t materialized. He will join NBA draft next year.
now that you point it out..i think we are the only nation who has another term used in our own language for our country.. pilipinas is the tagalog of philippines
I think for a better sports in the Philippines should American Football there is no doubt that Filipinos are very aggressive to each other when it comes to Basketball you've seen it right which is why us are more fit to American Football.
What it's kinda inaccurate to say we were just a group of islands when American took over when, america just took over one city and declared the whole country as conquered. We already have an existing government and people paying taxes to the said government when the Americans declared us as their colony. Causing the Philippine - American war which the America refuses to recognize, because they did so many atrocious war crimes such as the order of massacering a Whole island called Balanggiga, check it in Netflix there's a movie about it.
I understand the NBA not being very interested in having games in the Philippines due to it not being a new market to invest or pour money into as it basically markets itself, but I'd still love for it to happen.
You can call our country, Pilipinas or Philippines, it doesn't matter, we are use to it. the former is like the tagalog version, the latter is the international version. Like Spain and España.😁😁😁

Not trying to be a jerk but I don't think he's billed for the NBA. I looked at his stats, he didn't go undrafted because he's foreign or anything like that. It just doesn't look like he has the skill set for the NBA.
@@TheCommodity your opinion is not the reality you'll see🤪😆😜😜
PILIPINAS is to Philippines like NIPPON is to Japan, It's like a local word for Philippines.... :)
We loved Basketball
Pilipinas is the local/native name fir our country, Philippines is the international equivalent or in short Pilipinas=Tagalog/Filipino , Philippines=English. Same with Japan natives refer to their country as Nippon and their language as Nihonggo.
Pilipinas is a english of Philippines and we are Filipino or Filipina,..means people in our country
Guys do some reacts for kai Sotto he's currently playing for the Adelaide 36ers in the NBL Australia
'PHilippines' in our own tagalog language is called 'PILIPINAS'
Now Kai Sotto, playing for 36sixers in NBL Australia 🇦🇺
In this season in NBL Australia
He had multiple offers from elite Universities here in the US, but he opted to play g-league but didn’t materialized. He will join NBA draft next year.
2021 top 2 pick in NBA is also half Filipino
PIlipinas =Philippines

Filipino is the Philippines people
now that you point it out..i think we are the only nation who has another term used in our own language for our country.. pilipinas is the tagalog of philippines
Pilipinas is philippines,,
Filipinas / Pilipinas is the Philippines
Pilipinas name is our Philippines national team
I think for a better sports in the Philippines should American Football there is no doubt that Filipinos are very aggressive to each other when it comes to Basketball you've seen it right which is why us are more fit to American Football.
Pilipinas = philippines
What it's kinda inaccurate to say we were just a group of islands when American took over when, america just took over one city and declared the whole country as conquered. We already have an existing government and people paying taxes to the said government when the Americans declared us as their colony. Causing the Philippine - American war which the America refuses to recognize, because they did so many atrocious war crimes such as the order of massacering a Whole island called Balanggiga, check it in Netflix there's a movie about it.
Thanks Bro...new sub.then😊
Jimmy Alapag is the assistant coach of Sacramento now
I understand the NBA not being very interested in having games in the Philippines due to it not being a new market to invest or pour money into as it basically markets itself, but I'd still love for it to happen.
They have already 10 years ago between Houston vs Indiana
You can call our country, Pilipinas or Philippines, it doesn't matter, we are use to it. the former is like the tagalog version, the latter is the international version. Like Spain and España.😁😁😁

Though we lost but still big improvement in Philippines basketball 🏀
Pilipinas is Philippines in Tagalog
Pilipinas is how we call the Philippines in tagalog, as much as Japanese calling their country Nippon instead of Japan.
