Even as the frustrations and heartbreaks continues to mount for Gilas Pilipinas, Jordan Clarkson vowed to soldier on for the fans – thousands of them in the venues and probably millions across the archipelago – who shared the agony of defeat in what was once a hopeful FIBA World Cup run.
The Nationals did give the fans reasons to cheer on when it almost came close at erasing a 16-point deficit in the final five minutes only for the cheerful crowd to head to the exit in disappointment of another ‘what could have been’ for Gilas.“We're just gonna keep fighting. They're here to support us every night, every day so we'll keep on fighting for y'all and keep fighting and competing. We'll try to get it together..
It was also him, along with shocktroopers Kai Sotto and Rhenz Abando, who tried to pump some life to the faltering Gilas in the final five minutes, cutting the lead down to just five, 68-73 after being down by as many as 16.
