To prepare for the FIBA Asia Cup, Smart Gilas 2.0 goes "Gangnam Style"

Smart Gilas 2.0 is currently in Japan to compete in the FIBA Asia Cup. This is a serious and very competitive tournament, and the team, composed primarily of the same group that won the Jones Cup in August, is expected to go all-out to try and surpass the fourth-place finish of Smart Gilas 1.0 in 2010.

Before they left, though, the team found time to record their own video of Korean rapper PSY’s hit song “Gangnam Style”. While their actions here aren’t likely to strike fear in the hearts of their opponents, seeing the players willingly display their goofiness somehow makes you feel good about the team’s camaraderie and sense of togetherness. Gary David, in particular, looks thoroughly engaged, although Jared Dillinger appears a little too serious. But in the end, Coach Chot Reyes gets in the final word.
