No, there isn't any. But a couple of Filipino-Americans made it to the NBA back in the 80's. Raymond Townsend, whose mother hails from the Batangas province in the Philippines, played for the Golden State Warriors. Ricardo Brown was drafted by the Houston Rockets back in the 80's as well. He ended his colorful pro Basketball career back in the Philippines Basketball Association (PBA) donning the San Miguel Beermen jersey and was included in the league's Hall of Fame. Back in the 90's, Johnny Abarrientos of the PBA's Alaska Aces was scouted by the Charlotte Hornets and was considered to be drafted. But it was his prime in the PBA back then that he did not accept the offer since the NBA could not assure him of a long-term career in the premier American league.
