What they lack in height and in experience, they made up for it with their heart. Flipino basketball team Gilas Pilipinas will be going home with a win against Senegal in overtime, a win against a more experienced and a much bigger team. Truly, the Filipino basketball players stayed true to their name of Gilas which roughly translates to braveheart. Sure they lost the first four games but they didn't make it easy for the other teams to win either. True to Filipino spirit, the basketball team will be received with a hero’s welcome , comparable to that of Manny Pacquiao’s and Megan Young’s.
