Finally as it happens, a dream come true for the young Parks to play just for the Summer League in the NBA. Parks show up tonight with a white and blue jersey for the Mavs, he's not the biggest front actor of the team so he started off the bench. Parks did not make it to get drafted in the daft night as the team favor Santam Singh a 7footer Indian guy which has been in the US for quite sometime to have basketball development.
Parks finishes with 0pts , 1TOs and 1PF in 3mins. Parks has no basket attempt thru all his game time, it shows Parks is quite hesitant and nervous for his first time to play in the big league .
How does it feel like to see a Fil-Am Phil-Born player to Dunk in NBA

This is where Parks will fulfill his dream

Their first championship ever were in 1998 Centennial Cup lead by Al Solis and Glen Capacia though the duration of the conference is only 2-3months with 2 imports. The Talk N Text went to a lot rebuilding until they found the gems from Asi-Alapag duo. It's only in 2003 in All Filipino they finally captured their first champion in regular conference.
As of now, the team are still on track on competing in the Finals lead by their main man Jayson Castro and RDO. Castro recently named as 40 Greatest Players joining his co-texters, Asi , Alapag and Kelly Williams.
NOTE: The ranking were based from the tenure of the players in the team, the impact of his contributions and individual career achievements. The Achievements should be during their Talk N Text tenure and not before-after the TNT.
