Who is Jordan Clarkson?
Kabayan, Jordan Clarkson is a Filipino-American guard with a long NBA career and a separate record for the Philippines national team. Sa mga Pinoy fans, isa siyang bayani ng Gilas. Two milestones stand out: the NBA’s 2020–21 Sixth Man of the Year award with Utah, and playing for Gilas Pilipinas at the 2023 FIBA World Cup. They belong to different competitions, so we keep them apart.

NBA career route
| Year | Milestone |
|---|---|
| 2014 | Drafted 46th overall; early career with the Lakers |
| Later | Cleveland |
| December 2019 | Acquired by Utah |
| 2020–21 | NBA Sixth Man of the Year with Utah |
| July 2025 | Signed by the New York Knicks |
A 46th pick reaching a major NBA award is rare. Proof na kahit second round, may pag-asa.
What the Sixth Man award means
The Sixth Man of the Year goes to the league’s best player coming off the bench. It doesn’t mean he’s the sixth-best player; it means his impact as a reserve was the biggest that season. For bench roles, see our NBA lineups guide.
Clarkson and Gilas Pilipinas
Clarkson was in the Philippines’ player pool for the 2023 FIBA World Cup, played partly in Manila, and his FIBA record lists his games for the Philippines, including the win over China. A Gilas game is a national-team game; it doesn’t change his NBA team, and an NBA game isn’t a Gilas appearance.
