I wasn’t able to watch the Nike My Game special screening in my school last year since I was busy doing my thesis. Thanks to Nike Philippines, I have my own DVD now. I have no idea how the shoe maker company got into the selection process of choosing who’ll star in the documentary. But the featured basketball players all shared a similar story. They all played in the streets and eventually made it big in their own respective careers. There were sport journalists and basketball coaches that were there to add more color to the film, in a sense that “who else would be the best to comment on the basketball players but the expert themselves”. I personally like the scenes by which the featured players go back to where they came from, specially that of Arwind Santos who even showed his bedroom in Pampanga. Another plus for me was when James was speaking his native language. However, I thought, shouldn’t Mac Cardona be included in the video as well since everyone knows where he came from? Also, I think that Marcy Arellano would be a very good inclusion as well. I attempted to ask for permission to post the video on my site but they recomment I do not for legal reasons. SOrry guys, maybe you can request for a DVD from Nike people themselves.
