Danny I could pass as a Korean player.
How would South Korean commentators say "raise the roof" if Pinoy basketball legend Danny Ildefonso played there?
Lakay graced the Korean Basketball League and he could definitely pass as an Oppa!
In a short ceremony before the match between Suwon KT Sonicboom and KCC Egis, the KBL paid their respects to the former two-time PBA MVP. The Demolition Man also took a ceremonial free throw — which, of course, swished through the net.
Ildefonso visited South Korea to accompany his son Dave, who is set to play for Suwon KT.
The former Ateneo Blue Eagle announced his decision to play for the South Korean squad after winning the UAAP Season 85 Men’s Basketball title.
With his son starting a new journey abroad, Danny I couldn’t help but be a proud father, or rather, a “proud Appa.”
Not to be outshined by his father, Dave has also started his Korean duties. He is expected to play next week after the KBL All-Star break.
In a promotional video uploaded by Suwon KT, the younger Ildefonso thanked his Filipino fans and urged them to support his new team.
Three more Filipino players in the KBL is set to welcome Ildefonso in the league namely SJ Belangel from the Daegu KOGAS Pegasus, Rhenz Abando who plays for the Anyang KGC, and RJ Abarrientos of the Ulsan Hyundai Mobis Phoebus and the only Asian import voted to play in the KBL All-Star Game.
