After slamming the ball into the hoop, Sotto even did James' iconic celebration.

Sotto is continuing to improve his game as the NBA G League season remains stalled amid the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

But the 7'2" cager is working to stay active despite the uncertainty of the G League season with his continuous training.

Sotto is expected to be the starting center of the newest NBA G League squad which will be part of the developmental league's new professional pathway.

Sotto will be joined by Filipino-American Jalen Green and other young prospects across the US and the world.
