The game marked the first time two players of Filipino descent played against each other: rookie Jalen Green versus reigning Sixth Man of the Year Jordan Clarkson. To commemorate this, the Rockets earlier announced a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockets-news-jalen-green-jordan-clarkson-clash-sets-stage-for-houston-to-honor-filipinos/">Filipino Heritage Night</a> to celebrate this occasion.</p><p>After the game, Green and Clarkson got together for a short question-and-answer with some special Rockets fans. Clearly, the two were all smiles and pretty pleased with the event. (<a href="https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1453884679250132994">via PHSports LiveScores</a>)</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Met with fans after the game.

Clarkson, in particular, said this about his and the Rockets rookie’s impact on their country: (<a href="https://www.deseret.com/2021/10/28/22752010/jordan-clarkson-jalen-green-make-nba-history-during-jazz-rockets-filipino-heritage-night">via Deseret</a>)</p><blockquote>“Just us two being here is super inspirational for the youth and every Filipino-American, every Filipino, anybody with Filipino blood. I feel like it’s just an amazing experience, something that can’t be done again because (it was) the first. Hopefully we see more.”</blockquote><p>Clarkson also took to Instagram to hype up Green, praising the Rockets rookie. (via @jclarksons on IG)</p><blockquote>“<a href="https://www.instagram.com/jalen/">@jalen</a> is special, glad to share this moment in history, keep representing brodie!!!”</blockquote><p>https://www.instagram.com/p/CVmPNORNATp/</p><p>Rockets fans attending the game, though, didn’t have much to cheer for basketball-wise. The Jazz, a title contender this year, showed no mercy to the rebuilding Rockets, as they thoroughly stomped them 122 – 91. Jordan Clarkson scored 16 points from his usual bench role for the Jazz, while Jalen Green scored 13 points for the home team.</p><p>Overall, Filipino fans have something to look forward to in the NBA season, as their two stars prove to be exciting players in the league. The next matchup between the Rockets and the Jazz is on January 20 next year. We’ll see if Green can equalize his matchup against his <i>kababayan</i>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Brooklyn Nets did a similar event in January of 2020, in honor of the Filipino community in New York and New Jersey. The Golden State Warriors also have a similar version, albeit a bit grander and done every season instead of a one-off event. However, this iteration of Filipino Heritage Night is a bit more special.</p><p>This particular iteration celebrates the first time two players with Philippine roots play against each other. Green, the Rockets prized rookie, is <a href="https://www.rappler.com/sports/nba/things-to-know-filipino-american-player-jalen-green">born to a Filipina mother</a>, and has played in the Philippines multiple times, albeit only in exhibition games. Jordan Clarkson also draws <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jazz-news-jeremy-lin-gives-major-shoutout-to-jordan-clarkson-filipino-fans-utah-star-responds/">his Filipino roots</a> from his mother. In addition to that, the Jazz guard has represented the Philippines in international play, suiting up for them during the 2018 Asian Games. Both players have expressed interest in repping the Philippines in FIBA-sanctioned events in the future.</p><p>Expect a large Filipino contingency to show up to Rockets home games in order to support Green. And when the Jazz come to town on the 28th, expect that number to double in size.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As fellow 2014 NBA draft classmates, the bond between the two former Lakers continues to grow.</p><p>Julius Randle’s rise shouldn’t exactly be shocking. After all, he was selected by LA with the seventh overall pick and was a highly-touted prospect. But after six years of just average to decent level of play with stints in Los Angeles, New Orleans, and one mediocre year as a New York Knick, he seemed to be destined for a middling career. The fact that he was finally able to put it all together and reach his potential is what’s just so great a story for Randle. The Knicks star is fully deserving of being the Most Improved Player, especially as he’s now on undoubtedly the Most Improved Franchise.</p><p>Clarkson’s journey to winning the Sixth Man of the Year award was a little more unexpected. He was originally selected by the Washington Wizards as a second round pick that the Lakers eventually acquired. But as Randle suffered a broken leg in his rookie year, Clarkson got a huge opportunity to strut his stuff. He spent three and a half seasons in LA developing into the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/utah-jazz/stats">lethal scorer</a> that he now looks like today for the Utah Jazz.</p><p>Most Los Angeles Lakers fans look back at those years with Julius Randle and Jordan Clarkson fondly. To see them finding success in other colors aside from Purple and Gold, you can’t help but still feel a sense of pride.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

That’s all Jordan Clarkson needed to say after making history in winning as Sixth Man of the Year.</p><p>Just moments after receiving the award, becoming the first player in Utah Jazz history to do so, Clarkson <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OfficialJordanClarkson/posts/338192197671179">in a Facebook post</a> said he is blessed.</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>Clarkson has repeatedly made it known that winning Sixth Man of the Year is one of his personal goals. Despite a strong outing last season, he was not named among the finalists. But this time, he not only made sure he gets to the final list, but he was also the clear-cut winner right from the onset.</p><p>The athletic 28-year-old guard had his best season in his seven-year NBA career, averaging a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/jordan-clarkson/98e40912/stats">career-high 18.4 points</a> in 26.7 minutes off the bench. He just gets ’em instant buckets. He has improved on his shot selection and taking his man off the dribble, giving him easier scoring opportunities.</p><p>Clarkson came into the NBA as an unheralded rookie out of the University of Missouri. He learned under the tutelage of Kobe Bryant during his first few years with the Los Angeles Lakers before getting shipped to the Cleveland Cavaliers, where he helped LeBron James. He, however, was usually regarded as too trigger-happy with erratic defense.</p><p>But since getting traded to the Jazz, he has truly found his niche in the NBA and he now has the Sixth Man of the Year to show for it. He has been instrumental in the Jazz’s success the last two seasons.</p><p>Safe to say, the Utah Jazz are also blessed to have Jordan Clarkson.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But against the eighth-seeded Grizzlies, it felt like the rim was as tight as a rusty faucet. Clarkson shot an anemic 5-of-16 from the field, including 0-of-8 from three-point land. Because of this, his streak of hitting at least one three-point shot <a href="http://espn.com/nba/recap?gameId=401327721">ended at 94 games</a>.</p><p>The 28-year-old Clarkson had trouble against the phalanx of tough Grizzlies defenders, including Dillon Brooks, Grayson Allen, and De’Anthony Melton. He ended up with only 14 points in 30 minutes, clearly below his <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/jordan-clarkson/03d77214-5780-4715-8df2-13de3af5ea2d/stats">career-high 18.4 points per game</a> in the regular season.</p><p>With Jazz main man Donovan Mitchell still sidelined, Clarkson will have to break out of his slump quickly to help his squad even up the series against the dangerous Grizzlies led by a fired-up Ja Morant. The Grizzlies defense keyed up on Clarkson in Game 1 but being a veteran, he’s expected to make personal adjustments in Game 2.</p><p>Despite his struggles on Sunday, Clarkson is still the clear-cut favorite to win the Sixth Man of the Year trophy. After a mostly erratic start to his NBA career, he has truly found a perfect role. The Grizzlies may have found ways to stop him on Sunday, but Jordan Clarkson surely won’t let one bad game deter him from getting buckets and perhaps start another streak from beyond the arc.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He <a href="https://twitter.com/utahjazz/status/1394151037175361538">was recently asked</a> what song he’s feeling as they head into the NBA Playoffs with great momentum and homecourt advantage all throughout.

Thanks to a top-five offense and defense, Salt Lake City’s finest enter the postseason with the first seed in the Western Conference. While most of the credit may go to Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, a good part of Utah’s success is owed to a stellar bench, headed by no other than Jordan Clarkson.</p><p>The Sixth Man of the Year favorite is having the most productive season so far of his career. After putting up 15.2 points per game last year (15.6 with the Jazz), Clarkson averaged a career-high 18.4 points in 26.7 minutes per contest in 2020-21. In the 68 games he played in the regular season, the dynamic guard only scored in single digits four times.</p><p>Clarkson’s potent ability to get buckets was on full display in a win against the Philadelphia 76ers in February. In that game, the guard notched 40 points on 65.0% shooting from the field and 61.5% from downtown.</p><p>Of course, it’s not just on the court where Clarkson is proving his worth. Card fans are also taking notice of his tremendous improvement this season by collecting more of his stock. Shown below are four of the nastiest <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rookie-card-watch-2-massive-reasons-jordan-clarkson-cards-are-a-safe-bet/">Jordan Clarkson cards</a> you should be hunting down now.</p><h2><b>4. 2014 Immaculate Rookie Autograph /99</b></h2><p>Panini’s Immaculate brand remains one of the company’s most in-demand products because of its clean look and limited print run. Jordan Clarkson’s Rookie Autograph card, like the product itself, is no exception.</p><figure><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/7oQAAOSwtW1gNHk3/s-l1600.jpg"></figure><p>The card, which is limited to 99 copies, places the high-scoring guard front and center with his signature right below. On the upper right corner is Panini’s signature Rookie Shield logo, which increases the value of this card further.</p><p>Clarkson collectors will take pride in this card due to its low population and on-card autograph from the presumptive Sixth Man of the Year. An ungraded copy recently sold on eBay for <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/363310114932?hash=item5496f86874%3Ag%3A7oQAAOSwtW1gNHk3&amp;nma=true&amp;si=nRb6uhhtcCG9Xdb7A%252FhJ21r4fZM%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;nordt=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557">$150</a>, a price that can be considered attainable by most card enthusiasts.</p><h2><b>3. 2019 Mosaic Snakeskin Gold /8</b></h2><p>When Kobe Bryant passed away, it created a predicament for Panini because the late star still had a number of redemption cards that needed his signature. As a solution, the company released redemption packs containing limited Mosaic and Black Mamba cards.</p><figure><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/12EAAOSwn1FgP~~V/s-l1600.jpg"></figure><p>One good example found from these packs is Jordan Clarkson’s Snakeskin Gold numbered to eight copies. The card itself is a tribute to Bryant, which features the Los Angeles Lakers’ purple and gold colorway and a snakeskin chrome finish. Its design also highlights Clarkson in his Jazz uniform, making it a desirable card to own for the Utah faithful.</p><p>Those who want to chase this eye-catching card, including Kobe Bryant collectors, will be glad to know that it won’t cost an arm and a leg to obtain one. A raw copy sold on eBay for <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/294044256751?hash=item44766749ef%3Ag%3A12EAAOSwn1FgP%7E%7EV&amp;nma=true&amp;si=nRb6uhhtcCG9Xdb7A%252FhJ21r4fZM%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;nordt=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557">$200</a>, which makes it a good card to invest in.</p><h2><b>2. 2014 Prizm Red Pulsar Rookie Card /25</b></h2><p>Any avid collector will most likely go for a Prizm rookie card of their favorite player. If you’re a Jordan Clarkson collector, you’ll find his 2014 Prizm Red Pulsar an enticing option.</p><figure><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/q5IAAOSwC8dgE3DX/s-l1600.jpg"></figure><p>The card employs a red pulsar design, which gives it a unique and striking look. Apart from being a rookie card, its low print run of 25 copies also boosts its overall value. And since Clarkson’s stock is rising this year, you can count on this card to go up as well.</p><p>Just recently, a PSA 10 graded copy of this particular card fetched <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/154310207875?hash=item23ed9ae983%3Ag%3Aq5IAAOSwC8dgE3DX&amp;nma=true&amp;si=nRb6uhhtcCG9Xdb7A%252FhJ21r4fZM%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;nordt=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557">$1,000</a> on eBay. If Clarkson wins Sixth Man of the Year or registers a high-scoring game in the playoffs, this card will definitely spike up.</p><h2><b>1. 2016 Immaculate Logoman Autograph One of One</b></h2><p>At the top of this list is no other than Clarkson’s 2016 Immaculate Logoman Autograph. Released for the 2016-17 season, this card showcases the dynamic guard in his Lakers uniform with a large Logoman patch encased in it. The card’s One of One status also increases its value, making it a great addition to any Jordan Clarkson collection.</p><figure><img src="https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/~dsAAOSw1EFgUnSU/s-l1600.jpg"></figure><p>Since this is the only card of its kind, it commands a high price on the market. It recently sold on eBay for <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/184394556329?hash=item2aeec5a3a9%3Ag%3A%7EdsAAOSw1EFgUnSU&amp;nma=true&amp;si=nRb6uhhtcCG9Xdb7A%252FhJ21r4fZM%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;nordt=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557">$8,000</a>, a price that will surely make anyone’s jaw drop hard to the floor.</p><p>No one can deny the impact Jordan Clarkson brings to the table for the Utah Jazz. In the coming postseason, the seven-year veteran will have a good chance to show off and prove his worth on the court. Card fans, meanwhile, will have more reasons to chase his stock on the market, especially those that have a good chance to go up soon. If you’re out there looking for Jordan Clarkson cards, there’s no better place to start than those found above.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Here’s the <a href="https://tv5.espn.com/basketball/story/_/id/31415172/put-limits">complete quote</a> from Clarkson:</p><blockquote>“I just want to tell him to go out there. Work hard, don’t put any limits on yourself. And just put the time and keep grinding, the [NBA] is gonna be there,” Clarkson told ESPN’s Chao Meng. “Just go over there and be productive and learn a lot because a lot of those [NBL] players are really good.”</blockquote><p>Sotto was initially part of the NBA’s inaugural G League Ignite team that features NBA lottery pick studs like Jonathan Kuminga and projected top three pick Jalen Green, who like Clarkson also has some Filipino ancestry from his mother’s side.</p><p>But after failing to participate in the actual G League bubble, Sotto fell off the NBA radar. In a move to revitalize his NBA draft stock, Sotto made the jump to join Australia’s NBL signing with the Adelaide 36ers, a similar move to Charlotte Hornets rookie LaMelo Ball.</p><p>The dream scenario for Filipino basketball fans would be to have both Jordan Clarkson and Kai Sotto primed and ready for FIBA and Olympic qualifying tournaments. However, the country is still making its appeal to allow Clarkson to play as a local rather than as a naturalized player.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
