Breaking news… LeBron James finally won his first championship ring.

Another news is that, in game 5 of the NBA finals between the Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder, 9 out of 10 trending topics on twitter were NBA related.

In the final minutes and after the buzzer sounded, here are the Twitter trending topics in the Philippines.

  • Mike Miller
  • Leggo Heat
  • #OkcTillTheBitterEnd
  • #10thingsilove
  • Game 5
  • Juwan Howard
  • 2012 NBA Champions
  • #respect
  • Erik Spoelstra
  • Chris Bosh

Only #10thingsilove is the non-NBA topic. Now I have been on twitter for 2 years and I have not seen 90% of trending topics pointing to a single event or news. Not even the #jcontrial or a Manny Pacquiao fight hugged 9/10 twitter trending.  Interesting is that, of the Big 3, ’twas Dwayne Wade who wasn’t trending, Chris Bosh was. Juwan Howard trended because he entered the game late and not because I tweeted this…

By the way, Erik Spoelstra didn’t send Juwan Howard to game because few minutes earlier, I tweeted below. He sent him to sub Miami Heat starts and give much deserved applause and ovation to them.

And so it is confirmed…  Philippines is basketball country.

By the way, here’s my Mike Miller tweet…
