Philadelphia 76ers rookie Jared McCain recently gave a “shout out to my Asian community” and shared that he is "probably like 10% Filipino," marking his first public acknowledgment of his Asian roots. The 20-year-old guard, who pundits say has been a bright spot in an otherwise challenging season for the Sixers, made the revelation in a social media video shared on Wednesday. Born in Sacramento, California, McCain's diverse background has sparked discussions about the possibility of him representing the Philippine men’s basketball team, Gilas Pilipinas, in future FIBA tournaments, provided eligibility requirements are met.
