'Pinoy Hoops' Explores Philippines Basketball Obsession in Special NGCDocu Series

Pinoy Hoops is presented by Rafe Bartholomew, author of the best-selling book Pacific Rims, who will guide viewers on a journey to the very heart of a basketball-obsessed nation to uncover why the sport has been embraced wholeheartedly by Filipinos from all walks of life.

Filipinos live and breathe this game, and Bartholomew leaves no stone unturned in finding out why.
