The Facebook post read:
"BREAKING NEWS:
Kobe Paras has officially declared for the NBA Draft.
Lakers, Spurs, Pistons and Bucks are the teams that are interested in drafting Kobe"
Every year, right before the start of the playoff season, NBA, the most prestigious basketball league in the world, opens its gates to young blood through a selection process called the NBA Draft.
Each of the league's 30 franchises gets a chance to pick one of the most promising up-and-coming athletes to add to their roster.
This year, Kobe joins thousands of young hopefuls to make it to the professional league as he becomes eligible for the draft.
The 19-year-old, 6'6" shooting guard son of PBA hall-of-Famer Benjie Paras has made rounds online after his spectacular practice and in-game highlights went viral.
One video also featured his leaping ability when he dunked over NBA superstar Lebron James during an exhibition game.
The young cager would have easily made a stellar career in the local league but instead opted to take the harder path, studying in the US to take a shot at making it to the NBA.
"It's just a blessing to me that God gave me the ability to represent a country at an early age, and the hope (Filipinos) have is pretty overwhelming," said Kobe during one of his interviews.
