MANILA, Philippines – Gilas Pilipinas superstar Jordan Clarkson immortalized himself in Philippine basketball lore after a scintillating FIBA World Cup finale that led the host nation to a 96-75 breakthrough against Asian rival China last Saturday, September 2.
With Gilas now out of World Cup title contention, however, the question now lurks if Filipino fans have seen the last of Clarkson in national team colors. “Thirty-five [isn’t] old. I thought 30 is the new 20, right?” Clarkson quipped. “I still feel young. I’m still out here competing. I don’t think that’s my last performance in this jersey. I think I got more time and still can hoop.”
Smack dab in the prime of his career, Clarkson wrapped up his latest Gilas stint as the World Cup’s second-leading scorer with 26.0 points per game just behind Slovenian superstar Luka Doncic.
