Kai Sotto is a 7-foot-2 high school phenom who has dreams of becoming the first NBA player who was born in the Philippines.
Sotto wants to show that his native “Philippines is part of the basketball world.”
His ultimate dream is to make it to the NBA and represent the Philippines on the international stage.
Sotto has already represented the Philippines at the junior level at the FIBA 2019 U19 World Cup, 2018 U18 Asian Championship, 2018 U17 World Cup and 2018 U16 Asian Championship.
He also attended the 2020 Basketball Without Borders camp.
