    A statue of Jesus Christ dressed in a Golden State Warriors basketball jersey is displayed in the home of 18-year-old basketball enthusiast Jessie Conde in Tondo, Manila, Philippines, August 4, 2023. Conde's teammates typically bet 50 pesos (1USD) each per game, with the winner often using the prize money to buy everyone refreshments. "Once I'm on the court, I forget all my problems", Conde said.
