Gilas 3.0 just gave every basketball-loving Filipino a reason to truly believe.
That Olympic dream is not a pipe dream after all. It is actually a possibility.
Team Pilipinas proved that much in a stunning 87–73 victory over Iran, widely considered as the top team in the tournament, markedly better than everyone else, including the hosts and perennial powerhouse South Korea.
