- By KRISTEL SATUMBAGA

Kobe Paras tries his luck again overseas when he signs up with Ohio-based firm East West Private.

The firm announced this in an Instagram post Tuesday, April 20, welcoming the 6-foot-6 forward to the fold.

“Let tomorrow be your second chance to prove that you are better today than yesterday. Welcome to the family, Kobe,” read the post, accompanie­d by a group picture with Paras on it.

With the developmen­t, Paras is foregoing his final year with the University of the Philippine­s, where he played for one season after taking up a one-year residency.

This isn’t the first time that Paras would bring his act internatio­nally.

He played and finished secondary school in the United States in 2013, before getting recruited by University of California. He then transferre­d to Creighton University and Cal State Northridge.

Paras returned to the Philippine­s in 2018 where he eventually joined the Maroons.
