00:00 Hello mga Kapamilya! Bago pa man umarakada si Ray Parks sa International Basketball, he played for the NU Bulldogs.
00:06 Narito ang kanyang UAP Basketball Highlights.
00:27 Well, everybody knows naman yung tatay ko naglaro din sa Pilipinas bilang import.
00:31 So, yung start of love for basketball, dun nagsimula.
00:34 Four years old pa lang naglaro ako ng basketball, mayilig na ako sa bola.
00:38 I fell in love with the game.
00:39 Blessing talaga, sobrang ano eh, isang karahalan talaga na marahod na UAP FTP,
00:56 let alone back-to-back.
00:57 It was a great experience like what I said.
00:59 Na-enjoy ko yung years na I was playing hard on the court as I am now.
01:04 And for people to appreciate it, yun talaga yung kita dun.
01:08 It's sad na we wasn't able to attain our goal and to win the championship when I was there,
01:13 pero it was in the right direction in a sense.
01:16 And like I said, just all the hard work na nangkitalgan namin,
01:20 maaga pagigising, two-a-day, three-a-day trainings, talaga nagshow siya, nagblossom siya.
01:26 San Miguel, Alab, Pilipinas!
01:28 Hindi man ako nanaro ng championship at the amateur level, yung UAP.
01:33 Getting my first really championship as a pro is sa Alab, so it was very special.
01:40 And yung last season na nakanoon talaga ako ng laro ng ABList, yung nagcoach pa yung dad ko.
01:47 So very sentimental siya sa akin.
01:49 It was something na nagusto ko ituloy para sa kanya.
01:51 It was a blessed year.
01:52 It was a great year na I felt I was able to see a lot of things.
01:57 I grew as a basketball player talaga, winning the back-to-back na local,
02:02 then finals MVP, then the championship.
02:04 So sobrang blessing talaga ni God lahat.
02:06 Don't let anybody tell you na hindi mo kaya.
02:09 Madaming haters, madaming magdadoubt sa 'yo,
02:11 pero keep a good circle around you na believes in you and that is genuinely there for you.
02:15 Sobrang nakakapride maging nasyonal yan because we take pride in,
02:19 even though we're the underdogs the whole time.
02:21 [Music]
02:25 This is Bobby Ray Parks Jr. and you represent.
02:28 Ray Parks strived for the NBA draft in 2015 at naglaro din siya para sa Alam Pilipinas.
02:35 At patuloy din niyang binabandera ang bansa together with other pro players sa Gilas Pilipinas.
02:40 He now currently plays for the Nagoya Diamond Dolphins sa Japanese B-League.
