Hey there sports fan,
If there's ever a player outside of the Philippine national team that you should never forget from the recent Fiba World Cup, it's Dennis Schroder.
The guy even got his own trivia question in our weekly sports quiz: How many points did Dennis Schroder score in the championship game where Germany beat Serbia for the title? (Answer is at the end of this newsletter).
Schroder was named MVP after a memorable performance in the final of the global showcase, where Germany defeated Serbia to crown themselves world champions.
There Fiba World Cup will leave us with a lot of memories beyond the championship game. And if you want to look back at how the tournament unfolded, you can go check our World Cup archive for stories you might have missed.
As promised, we covered the World Cup beyond the scoreboard, giving you some of the best stories to come out of the tournament, thanks to our indefatigable team on the ground: Denison Rey A. Dalupang, Jonas Terrado, Celest Flores-Colina, Mark Giongco, Lance Agcaoili and Rommel Fuertes Jr.
They all did an awesome job producing stories day in and day out while working on 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. shifts.
There are some stories you might want to jump into right away though. After the Philippines' last game, the polarizing national team head coach Chot Reyes said he would answer all his critics as long as they brought up their complaints face-to-face. It didn't take a second after he uttered those words that we called him on his dare, leaving him a message that we would like to raise some points against him.
It took some ironing out of schedules, but he obliged. And we got a three-part series out of that interview, which you can watch here. If you'd rather we put those words of his in context, here are links to the stories in the series: 1, 2 and 3. |
