Unfortunately for naturalized big man Andray Blatche, it’s either he didn’t get the memo or he just couldn’t wait for the team to land and get to the hotel during Gilas Pilipinas’ flight to Taiwan for the 2015 Jones Cup.
Either way, Blatche couldn’t escape Taulava, who, along with Talk ‘N Text rookie Troy Rosario even posed behind the former NBA veteran as the moment was immortalized on the NLEX big man’s phone.
So far, the photo, posted on Taulava’s Instagram account, is nearing 300 likes.
Kidding aside, moments like this just shows how close this team has been after only three weeks since the Gilas pool was assembled and only less than a month left before the main purpose of the team starts which is to win the lone Olympic slot in the 2015 Fiba Asia Championship in China.
