00:00We are now joined by the team owner of Uncle Drew Pilipinas,

00:03Team owner, Andrew Cumbate,

00:06Team manager, Tutoy Perez,

00:07and TH Tumalib.

00:10Good morning to all of you.

00:12Good morning.

00:13Good morning.

00:15You're going to be with us this morning.

00:16It's not that obvious because we're all sitting down.

00:19Just a bit.

00:21Okay, I'll fire the first question.

00:23Sir Drew, tell us more about Uncle Drew Pilipinas.

00:27Why did you choose this?

00:28Actually, this was formed last 2017.

00:31So, Uncle Drew,

00:32because Uncle Drew is what we call in our area.

00:36So, actually, we started participating in the 3x3 league last year.

00:42So, we got an offer from our coach, Anton Datte Merano,

00:46to play in the International League.

00:49Of course, it's the International League.

00:50So, we got an offer.

00:53So, there, it went on and on.

00:54So, we joined it.

00:56Of course, we're very proud to represent the Philippines in the International League.

01:01Now, let's switch partners to our team manager.

01:05Of course, we have one of our players with us right now,

01:07but can you just introduce the overall roster of Uncle Drew Pilipinas

01:12for our teammates who just heard about it.

01:17Now, we have TH Tumalib with us.

01:19He's also a Vatican in 3x3.

01:22Before, he also played for PBA 3x3 and other international 3x3 competitions.

01:29So, he's also a formidable player in 3x3.

01:31And then, he's also part of the team of 3x3,

01:37the PBA team before,

01:39Isha Kalanes, and then other international 3x3 experience.

01:43So, and with two imports coming from US and Spain,

01:50So, we'll be able to bring them to our tournament in Singapore.

01:56Who are those two imports?

01:59Joshua Kiss.

02:00Joshua Kiss is an American professional player.

02:03He's also a veteran in playing 3x3.

02:06So, he's an athletic center.

02:10He can do overall, actually.

02:12He can shoot outside and inside.

02:15And the other one is a national player from Spain, Jose Blasquez.

02:22Actually, he's an overall player, too.

02:25He can play outside and inside, and also play defense.

02:28So, he has a deep position, right?

02:32The player.

02:33With TH, how are you preparing for the upcoming 3x3 tournament?

02:39For now, we won't be together because they're still in their respective places.

02:45But with the two imports, I've been playing with them for a couple of years already.

02:52Jose and Joshua.

02:54So, familiarity, I'm okay with them.

02:57And the constant communication with Coach Anton,

03:03in the plays and what we should do.

03:07He's the one who always sends us videos and pointers

03:12so that we're well-prepared to go to Singapore.

03:17Partner, I also want to ask TH.

03:19Because here in the Philippines, 3x3 basketball is not new, right?

03:24It's like we're already playing it in half courts.

03:26Because you need to save space.

03:28But the sanctioned 3x3 is relatively new.

03:33It's not that new, but relatively.

03:36TH, what can you say,

03:39what's the main difference between playing 3x3 basketball

03:44compared to the 5v5 that we're used to watching?

03:48Well, in 3x3, it's very fast-paced.

03:52And the physicality.

03:57More likely, it boils down to skills.

04:02Because, of course, there are only three of you.

04:05And, yeah, things like that.

04:09Mostly, physicality.

04:11Because you're really big.

04:14And you're really strong.

04:16So, partner, you're really exposed because you're just a few.

04:21Yes, you can see who's contributing to the team.

04:24And you need to wake up.

04:27For me, sir, it's very important.

04:30Especially, as we said, 3x3 is a fast-paced tournament.

04:34I'm sure that they need to train as a team

04:39so that they can build their chemistry.

04:42Going into the tournament,

04:44when do you plan to start training with them?

04:47Actually, right there at the event.

04:51We'll be there on February 14.

04:53So, we'll practice there.

04:55Because other players from other countries,

04:58like Joseph Vasquez from Spain,

05:00and the other American player from Vietnam.

05:04So, we only have one day.

05:06But the good thing is, they've known each other for a long time.

05:09So, that's what we'll do.

05:11So, they already know each other's gameplay.

05:14Even though, on the day, on the spot, they're training.

05:18So, it's just a little catch-up.

05:20There's one day.

05:21The tournament is on the 15th.

05:24So, we'll prepare for one day.

05:26Because they have a preparation partner for one day,

05:28they'll sacrifice their Valentine's Day.

05:31That's right!

05:33Partner, how's that?

05:37But gentlemen,

05:39seriously, what do you expect from the challenge?

05:42Because the time period of our preparation is short.

05:46Although, as you said, the chemistry is already built in.

05:49Because they already know each other.

05:51What do you think is the toughest challenge that we'll face?

05:56Well, for the Filipinos,

05:58we're going to test everyone's experience in playing 3x3.

06:04And 3x3 is, I think for me,

06:07this is the best platform for the Filipino ballers

06:10to showcase their talents when it comes to basketball.

06:17Because here, you can't see the advantage of being big or small.

06:23As long as you have a communication system when it comes to 3x3 basketball.

06:27The advantage here, especially THN Shop,

06:30they're long-range shooters.

06:32So, because the game is pass-paced,

06:34you have an advantage when it comes to shooting skills.

06:37And you don't need to change your face or something

06:43when you have a situation that you can maximize,

06:46which is shooting.

06:47So, that's probably the advantage.

06:48And then, the experience.

06:50Our two imports are a big help.

06:53And considering that this is a short tournament,

06:58I think this is what we can maximize as a team.

07:02That the experience of each team will be the same.

07:06It's just a short preparation.

07:08But we'll maximize it to the extent that when we're together,

07:11we'll maximize the talent of each team.

07:14Each player.

07:17So, it's important.

07:19But before we explore this tournament,

07:22someone asked,

07:23why is Uncle Drew the name of your team?

07:27That's right.

07:28Because in our place, Uncle Drew is what they call me.

07:31So, that's where it started.

07:32We became Uncle Drew Filipinas.

07:35In other leagues, we also have pocket tournaments in each region.

07:41So, that's what we brought.

07:42Why Uncle Drew?

07:44How can it not be Uncle?

07:46Because it's important for the partner to explain.

07:49Because the other teammates might get confused.

07:52Kyrie Irving,

07:53that's one of his monikers, Uncle Drew, right?

07:57He's pretending to be old, but he's playing basketball.

08:01That's why he's an associate.

08:03But it's also smart because it's just basketball.

08:06It's basketball-related.

08:07But let's go back to T.H.

08:11Earlier, we mentioned that this 3x3,

08:14it's like a favor to players like you who have a shooting.

08:19Even if the size is not that important,

08:22you can still do it.

08:23Do you feel that every time you play 3x3 compared to 5v5?

08:30Yes.

08:31Because this is where I showcase my talent.

08:37Because, of course, in 5v5, you still need to...

08:41how do you call this?

08:42Compete just to get minutes, right?

08:48Here in 3x3, there are only four of us.

08:51So the substitutions are more frequent.

08:55So more playing time.

08:58And then...

09:02T.H., how do you make sure that you're at the top of your game,

09:07especially when it comes to your stamina and endurance?

09:10Because this is a fast-paced tournament.

09:13And when we're watching the video, there's really no time to rest.

09:18There's no moment where you're on a vacation and you're passing.

09:25There's no dead ball.

09:27So how do you maintain your conditioning?

09:30I think, because I've been playing 3x3 for a long time,

09:35almost three years now,

09:37starting from PBA 3x3.

09:40And of course, every day,

09:44weights,

09:46and a few scrimmages.

09:51Gentlemen, at this point,

09:52do you have any messages for our teammates

09:57on how to support your campaign?

10:01And how will you achieve that?

10:03Please look forward to Uncle Drew Pilipinas

10:06who will represent 3x3 Light Quest in Singapore on February 15 and 16.

10:11You can follow us on our Facebook page, Uncle Drew Pilipinas.

10:15The whole team is with us.

10:17We will fight with all our hearts.

10:20This is an international game.

10:22So we will fight with our 3x3 team,

10:253x3 PBAT, 3x3 Light Quest in Singapore.

10:30T.H.?

10:32I would like to greet Kalel Damien.

10:34Happy 17th birthday.

10:36And of course, to everyone who supports Uncle Drew,

10:40please support us.

10:42And of course,

10:46because we will represent our country in Singapore.
