South Korea and the Philippines are set to battle it out in a much awaited basketball match touted as The Asian Basketball Showdown. On September 9, 2014, Tuesday,6 pm at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, the arch rivalry between the two countries will be celebrated. LG Electronics brings to the Philippines, one of South Korea’s top basketball teams – the Changwon LG Sakers for a hard-court action with Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) cagers Barangay Ginebra San Miguel.

The Arch Rivalry

Basketball fans need not be reminded of the existing arch rivalry between South Korea and the Philippines. They have played against each other in several international games. Korea thwarted the bid of the Filipino contingent to enter the World Cup several times specifically in the FIBA (International Basketball Federation) tournaments. Last year, the Philippine team demolished the Korean squad to secure the country’s spot in the FIBA World Championship this August.

KG Sakers vs Barangay Ginebra

LG Electronics Philippines saw it fit to treat the Filipinos to a one-of-a-kind opportunity to witness firsthand how Korean and Filipino cagers clash at the hard court. The LG Sakers is the basketball team supported by LG Electronics in South Korea. It leads in the attendance rankings in 8 out of 10 seasons of the Korean Basketball League (KBL). Barangay Ginebra San Miguel team needs no introduction in the Philippines.  It is one of the pioneering teams in PBA history and is one of the most popular in the country. The team holds 8 PBA titles and is admittedly one of the all-time fan favorites.
