Fresh from leading the Smart Gilas Pilipinas U-18 team to a 5th place finish in the recently concluded FIBA Asia U-18 Championship after defeating the Japanese Squad in OT.

Prior to his FIBA Asia stint, Kobe was able to show his talent in the DeMar DeRozan Tournament wherein he put up big numbers for LA Cathedral High School in a losing effort against Long Beach Poly. He finished the game with 22 points.
