The only Filipino-American player in the NBA, Jordan Clarkson of the Utah Jazz, narrates the story behind the famed basketball court in Tenement in Taguig City.

The court has become famous in recent years for the murals that local artists paint on the blacktop.

Clarkson himself visited Tenement in 2016, and other NBA stars including Paul George and LeBron James have also stepped foot on the court.

The Tenement court went viral last week, when local artists painted a massive mural of Kobe and Gianna Bryant after their passing in a helicopter crash in Los Angeles.

In telling the story of the court, Clarkson also narrates how it tied the community of Tenement residents together, despite the hardships in their lives -- including the ever-present threat of eviction.
