McCain on Thursday acknowledged his Asian heritage and revealed he is partly Filipino. “Shout out to my Asian community. I am a Filipino. I mean, only like 10 percent, but that counts right?” said McCain in a livestream video with his teammate Adem Bona.Source: Inquirer.net What’s the buzz on Twitter? Adam Aaronson @SixersAdam Jared McCain appears to be the full-fledged backup point guard right now. He is running this unit without Reggie Jackson on the floor. Sixers have still only gone to seven guys, so Jackson (or Jeff Dowtin Jr.) could factor in soon.

Since he was a teenager, he’s had to have a sense of toughness. “I’m so used to the talk right now that it doesn’t really matter what anyone says,” McCain said. “I’ve been dealing with it since high school. I hear it all the time; they call me ‘TikTok Boy’ and things like that. “It’s just that I’m on a bigger stage right now. I know that I work hard. I know how much I put into the game of basketball. So, I’m not going to allow how people feel about what I do to affect my play.” -via New York Times / November 26, 2024 McCain grew up in California, during the height of Curry’s career. He was 11 and vividly remembers watching during Curry’s first championship run with the Golden State Warriors. He’s one of the first of the Curry generation to make it to the league, inspired by watching the Golden State guard change the game. There are significant parts of McCain’s game that remind you of the future Hall of Famer. “I think I watched him more off the ball than on the ball,” he said. “I watched the way he relocates after he passes it. I watched the way he’s able to sprint around the court. I think I’m in really good shape, and I get my feet set fast. So those are some things that I think I can use to my advantage to get shots off. -via New York Times / November 26, 2024 Sam DiGiovanni: Nick Nurse on the Clippers’ defense vs Tyrese Maxey and Jared McCain: “They sent a lot of people at ‘em. They had the lane plugged pretty good, kinda random. They were playing a 2-on-2, switching a lot and then just kinda had a rover in the middle, almost like a spy…” -via Bluesky / November 25, 2024

As a sports enthusiast from the United States, my passion for sports goes beyond mere entertainment—it is a way of life. I am particularly drawn to the "Big Five" European football leagues: the English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1.
