CNN Philippines' #HoopNation

CNN Philippines tells yet another story that delves deeply into the lives of the Filipino: basketball. The Philippines is a basketball country, where the sport means more than just recreation. For Filipinos, basketball influences communities and culture, and each citizen has a remarkable basketball story to tell. From sidewalk athletes to prisoners, from people with disabilities to shoe enthusiasts, every Filipino, regardless of region, status or place in society, considers basketball an inherent part of life.
