00:10In that glory,
00:12Sabrina Yonescu, one of the most awarded women's basketball players in the world,
00:17felt the love of the Philippines for her sport.
00:21Being really able to kind of submerge yourself in the community here and see it for yourself
00:26is really kind of a pinch-me moment of just the fans' support,
00:30but also just how this entire country lives and breathes basketball.
00:35The Philippines was the first stop of her Asian Tour,
00:38after winning the WNBA and gold medals in the Olympics.
00:47And on her first day, she left her signature all-around play.
00:52She also taught drills to a few players and fans in Taguig.
01:03And at the main event at Araneta Coliseum,
01:06she showed off some of the best women's basketball players in the country.
01:12I think that's huge.

01:23dribbling,
01:27and shooting was shown by the point guard of New York Liberty,
01:34where the team members and former national team members,
01:38Paul Lee and L.A. Quinorio, could play.
