Those who observe halloween among Filipino basketball fans thought that it’s a great treat that the biggest basketball charity game in the country is happening at the SMART Araneta Coliseum with the Gilas Pilipinas playing with the elite group of NBA basketball superstars. However, what actually took place has turned out to be a live practice with drills featuring both teams. 

 The change of plan and the cancellation of the second day event was further explained by the events organizer and Media provider in a press conference. According the event organizer, the supposed actual games were cancelled, because NBA guests thought that they would be sanctioned and fined if they ended up playing due a regulation issue on their contracts, which doesn't allow NBA players to play in non-sanctioned NBA events. 

 Anyway, there is always next time. People can only hope that this will not be the last basketball event that they will see, which are featuring NBA players competing in our country.
