Dating back to the inclusion of the sport of basketball in the South East Asian Games in 1977, the Philippines has successfully brought home the gold medal in every single edition held save for 1989 wherein we lost to host country Malaysia (2005 was held in the Philippines but scrapped owing to our FIBA suspension while in 2009 Indonesia nixed the sport due to lack of facilities).
So there is some truth when Filipinos proudly declare that the country is the "Kings of Southeast Asian Basketball."

Naturalized center Marcus Douthit will also suit up which pretty much guaran-damn-tees us to be one of the medal favorites.
