Did you know three-time NBA champion Byron Scott loves chicken adobo and dinuguan?
This story is published in partnership with SoJannelleTV, a magazine show about Filipinos in North AmericaNo one knows when or where they’ll meet their future partners. It can happen at any time, when one least expects it, and in the most unpredictable of places.
Scott, who is older, on the tall side, and physically fit, checked off the boxes for what Gutierrez was looking for. Gutierrez had heard of Scott, a member of the “Showtime” Lakers of the ’80s who went on to coach the team, but it never registered that she was speaking with the former basketball star. She told a friend that she had met someone, but since she misheard his name as “Myron,” it took a while to figure out who she was referring to.
That isn’t to say there haven’t been adjustments to make. Scott, who has developed a fondness for chicken, was initially taken aback by the amount of food that Filipinos will cook for dinner. The warmth of a Filipino family was also something that was new to him. Scott, an African-American who grew up in Inglewood, California, said his father raised him to be stoic in some regards, not showing emotion, with crying off limits.
“I don’t think it’s something that they would run away from. I think it would be different at first, bring it to them, let them see,” said Gutierrez.
