The Kai Sotto scandal has thrown the spotlight on the Filipino basketball player and the leaked video of the player is doing the rounds on the internet.

Kai Sotto is a Filipino basketball player who is 7’2″. He is currently a member of the Hiroshima Dragonflies of Japan’s B. League.

The 20-year-old has played for the Philippines national basketball team at the senior and junior levels.

However, the video is less offensive or outrageous than many would expect. Leaked footage from 2020 showed Sotto and Jalen Green, then 18 years old, dominating their NBA G League games.

The two basketball prodigies were seen in the video having fun during their developmental league games.

Jalen Green was drafted 2nd overall by Houston Rockers during the 2021 NBA Draft.

On the other hand, Sotto was ineligible for the 2021 NBA Draft because he graduated from high school in the same year and could join in 2022.

Sotto trained for several teams after entering the 2022 NBA Draft, but was not drafted.
