Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
This basketball film basically hangs out with five professional basketball players from the Basketball Association of the Philippines. Because it has a script and a storyline, it is not precisely a documentary, but the stories told come directly from the lives of the players themselves: Ramon Fernandez, Francis Arnaiz, Bogs Adornado, Tembong Melencio, and Yoyong Martires. They are shown "on the town" with each other, in training, and visiting their homes of origin. Each player/actor has a corresponding female romantic interest.
