Jayson Castro is 28 year old and born in Pampanga, Philippines. Castro is 5'11 and weighing 185 lbs. He is Playing for Talk 'N Text for the Philippine Basketball Association. He showed his impressive moves in the recent FIBA Asia Championship. He is a real Filipino Pride and is touted as Asia's best point guard after being names among the tournament's "Mythical Five." Gilas past Kazakhstan in the quarter finals contributing his score of 20 points and against South Korea in the semis 17 points. This amazing guy is very humble and down to earth keep his
focus in the competition. He said he wasn't that disappointed even if he was not approached by anyone from the NBA during the FIBA tournament. Castro is very honest to say that it is his dream to be make it to he NBA as it is every player's dream. Castro was pretty aware that there is a scout from the NBA but he is more focus to win the game. Castro didn't expect to be part of the mythical five, he said "Of course, I was happy but I didn't play to make it to the Mythical Five. To me, individual honors are secondary, like a bonus." He also added, "I coudnt't believe it. All along, I just played my game, what coach Chot wanted me to do. It didn't matter if i scored alot or not, what was important was I did my best for our team and our country."
We cant wait to get more from Castro and we will always look forward to see him more playing for PBA and of course for in NBA in the future. I believe that Castro can show more in the future, with his focus and determination, he can surely get his dream one day.
