MANILA, Philippines — Basketball star Kobe
Paras has a piece of advice for up and coming talent Kai Sotto.
The UAAP juniors division was dominated by 7-foot-1
Sotto of the Ateneo Blue Eaglets, thanks to his height.
Sotto is seen by observers and fans as the
future of Philippine basketball, although he still needs to bulk up.
Paras, however, thinks the prospect should
explore other options, specifically outside of the country.
"Hopefully one day Kai may make a mature
decision to continue his basketball career here in the states so that he won't
get rotten and brain(washed) in Manila," he tweeted on Friday.
Like Sotto, Paras gathered a lot of buzz when
he played for the La Salle Greenies in the NCAA.
Naturally, schools and universities tried to
lure him in the collegiate ranks. But he packed his bags and flew to US and tried
to play for the UCLA but withdrew.
Paras later on signed with the Creighton
University Bluejays, where he played for one season. He then sat out a year
after transferring to Cal State Northridge.
