Kihei Clark’s exceptional performance in the game led him to win the title of All-Star Game MVP. Philippine basketball legend Robert Jaworski himself awarded him the recognition.
Overall, this Filipino-American basketball achiever’s journey is proof of his determination and perseverance. From his exceptional college career to his remarkable performance in the Philippines, Kihei Clark has proven himself as a vital force inside basketball courts.
As he joins the NBA summer league, he can establish his name in the professional league and continue inspiring other new basketball players, particularly in the Filipino-Am community. (Mary Villegas/Inquirer.net) n
