Typhoon Haiyan's devastation can't stop pick-up basketball game (PHOTO)

One reason basketball is one of the most popular games in the world is because of its simplicity. Find a basket, a ball, a couple of friends and you've got a game.

Not even the devastation of Typhoon Haiyan could keep these resilient Filipino youth from throwing down the rock. More importantly, it brings a small sense of normalcy back to the young men's shattered lives.

Pretty amazing. Remember this when you're whining about your $8 beers watching the Knicks.
