The first Filipino Asian import in the Japan B.League just got selected in the upcoming 2021 B.League All-Star game.

Thirdy Ravena just etched another career milestone after getting all-star status in the Japanese league in just his debuting year.

The former Ateneo King Eagle swingman earned the spot after flaunting his skills in the seven games he played for the San-en NeoPhoenix squad who recently clinched their first back-to-back wins of the season.

Ravena posted impressive numbers despite being a rookie where he averaged 9.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.42 assists per contest.

The NeoPhoenix athletic forward will play for B.White under the helm of Kawasaki head coach Kenji Sato.

Ravena will be teamed up with superstars Yuki Togashi, Sebastian Saiz, Ryusei Shinoyama, Nick Fazekas, and Kosuke Kanamaru.

The talented B.White roster will be showcasing their skills against the Luka Pavicevic led squad formed by Yuta Tabuse, Makoto Hiejima, Ryan Rossiter, Jeff Gibbs, and Julian Mavunga.

Aside from participating in the all-star game proper, Raven will also be joining the Japan B.League slam-dunk contest.
