Kobe Paras gagawa kaya ng history sa U.P Fightig Maroons? Sa unang dalawang laro nito ay para itong si tazmania na nakawala. Sa angking galing nito ay tiyak na malaki ang kaya nitong magawa para sa kanyang team.

Kikang-kita ang kanyang panggigigil sa laro. Umaararo ito sa loob ng court kasama ang UP  laban sa Adamson Soaring Falcons, 82-81 ang score sa overtime.


Si Kobe Paras ay nagtala ng 20 points, 2 blocks, 1 steal, 1 assist at 6 rebounds. Wika pa ni Kobe “I’m happy, I’m really happy. As everyone knows here, this is my fourth college so I’m just thankful for coach Bo (Perasol) and the whole UP community for giving me basically a third chance not just in basketball, but in life."

Ibinahagi din ni paras ang kanyang karanasan sa ibang bansa kung saan ay naging bahagi ito ng UCLA.


 “My whole life, I’ve been facing adversities, so I’m just really glad that I’m back on the court and I’m just here to represent UP,” wika nito.
“A lot of people think it’s easy being alone in the States. I had to go through a lot of mental issues,”  dagdag pa ni Kobe.

“I think that’s one thing that people really need to understand. As athletes, we’re human beings as well. I had to face adversity every single day alone, but I’m just grateful, like what I said earlier, for the opportunity that UP’s given to me.”
