World Cup veteran Fajardo remains grounded after Towns matchup: 'I don't measure myself one-on-one'

Ever-humble star June Mar Fajardo remains focused on helping Gilas Pilipinas despite facing multiple NBA talent in his FIBA World Cup career, the latest being Karl-Anthony Towns

BULACAN, Philippines – In his storied basketball career, June Mar Fajardo has seen and done it all against all levels of competition.

Fajardo did all that despite going up against NBA-caliber talent like captain Eloy Vargas, young Angel Delgado, and most notably, NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns.
