Mason Amos delivers in his debut in Gilas Pilipinas’ 107-96 win over Lebanon on Friday, Feb. 24, at the Philippine Arena.
“It was exciting. There are a lot of people here, a great community, love the Philippines. It’s good representing the country and I’m thankful,” said Amos. The Gilas youth standout shrugged off first-game jitters and stepped up big time behind five other Gilas members who finished in double figures, with Justin Brownlee delivering 17 points as a newly naturalized Filipino player.
“Just energy coming in off the bench, really something new like I just stepped up and shot the ball. It feels great. It feels different from the youth club, so it’s something great,” Amos added.
