We will make many references this week to how great Manila
As often as the Rockets had heard of the great passion for basketball in The Philippines, they found that enthusiasm expressed differently than they had expected after other overseas trips.
They could not move unnoticed. When they were boarding busses near the Mall of Asia, fans were shrieking as if attending an early Beatles concert. But fans also kept their distance.
