Basketball fans, I’ve got good news for you! If you haven’t been able to catch Kobe Bryant on his recent visit in the Philippines, don’t worry! He’ll be back pretty soon! What’s even more exciting is that he’ll be joined by New Orleans Hornets’ Chris Paul (CP3), Sacramento Kings’ Tyreke Evans, Oklahoma Thunder’s James Harden, and Minnesota Timberwolves rookie Derrick Williams along with other NBA players. They’ll form the NBA team that will go up against a selection of players from PBA and Smart Gilas Team at the Araneta Coliseum on July 23-24, 2011. The info came straight from Talk and Text coach Chot Reyes’s tweet earlier today (Friday). Exciting, right?!? But I think it it’d be a safe bet to wait for the press conference that’ll take place today for confirmation.
Event organizers will hold a press conference today at 5:30 on the afternoon to disscuss further details about the event.
Basketball fans, When in Manila don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! I bet it’s gonna be one of the highlights of Philippine Sports events this year. I mean, how often do we get to see these basketball stars in the flesh here in Manila? lol Get your tickets early on!
[EDIT: Deandre Jordan will not be able to join the NBA Roster because of passport issues- based on @patriciahizon‘s tweet]
