In the Philippines, everyone knows Jordan Clarkson’s name

(Hannah Reyes Morales | The New York Times) Paolo del Rosario, a Filipino Utah Jazz fan, at a basketball court in Manila, Philippines, March 28, 2021. A Manila-based sports broadcaster, del Rosario, remained on his own in his Jazz fandom for years until suddenly, about halfway through last season, he discovered that the Cleveland Cavaliers had traded Jordan Clarkson, a Filipino-American, to the Jazz, and del Rosario started receiving text messages from friends: "Hey, are you ready? You're not going to be the only Jazz fan in the Philippines anymore."
