Philadelphia 76ers rookie Jared McCain has officially scored some major points with his Filipino fans.In a candid locker room video uploaded on Streamable, McCain gave a heartfelt nod to his Asian heritage—specifically his Filipino roots.

"Shout out to my Asian community," he said with a grin. "[I'm] probably like 10% Filipino, but that counts."

The clip may have been short, but it resonated big-time with fans who were thrilled to see McCain proudly embracing his Filipino lineage. While 10% might seem like a small percentage, McCain’s acknowledgment shows how important every connection to one's heritage can be.

The young player’s shoutout is already creating waves on social media, with fans celebrating his recognition of the Filipino community. It's not every day you see an NBA rookie confidently claiming his cultural ties, and this gesture certainly won over more hearts.

McCain, already known for his charisma on and off the court, has cemented himself as a player to watch—not just for his moves during games, but for how he proudly represents his roots. Filipino basketball fans, it looks like you’ve got a new reason to cheer for the Sixers.
