MANILA, Philippines—The Philippines may have ranked 40th in the most recent Fiba World rankings, but the country can boast of having the best hardcourt in the world.
Taguig’s The Tenement was named the best basketball court in the world, determined by a Fiba-sanctioned survey.
The sports’ diehard fans chose The Tenement over Dubrovnik City Rooftop Court in Croatia by a narrow margin. The survey showed Taguig’s court was chosen by 53 percent of the voters while Croatia’s court garnered 47 percent.
The Philippine court also bested Los Angeles’s Angels Gate Park and Puerto Rico’s Carmelo Anthony-themed court.
