Kiefer Ravena on Being Jordan Brand’s First Filipino Athlete: ‘I Always Had a Dream’ “There’s only two things that will stop the whole country from doing anything: it’s either a Manny Pacquiao fight or the Gilas game that just finished,” Ravena says proudly. “Everybody was tuned in and you can see on social media how everyone was reacting to beating Korea by a winning shot. There’s no pro players on the team, and it was amazing to see these young guys pull it off.” Ravena, who last played for Gilas in 2019, knows the pressure of representing an entire country in that country’s most popular sport. And now, he’s representing the Philippines on a new team with an even wider global audience, as the brand’s first Filipino athlete: Team Jordan.
