Sey ni CHRIS NEWSOME :‘We know how much you want GILAS to succeed, this is all for you, Guys!’. Sinsero at buong pusong nag-usap-usap pala ang players para magkaisang paigtingin ang effort sa goal nila.

While it is conspicuous na PBA superstars ang members na ito ng GILAS, kung panoorin ang galaw nila, obvious ang humble na pagkakaisa para maipanalo ang laro.
