MANILA, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) -- Kobe Bryant, the U.S. basketball superstar
of the
Los Angeles Lakers, is expected to descend on the Philippine capital of
Manila
on September 5, local media reported Wednesday.
During his one-day visit, Kobe Bryant will take part in a latest Nike shoe
launch and share skills with young Filipino basketball players, the
Manila-based GMA TV said.
"Kobe Bryant serves as a basketball icon, inspiration and role model to
a lot
of our young Filipino athletes and we are proud to bring him closer to his
fans, " said Melissa Crucillo, Nike Philippines country marketing manager.

Beijing,

The Filipinos have an undying passion for basketball. Street ball games
are
played in nearly every district in the urban and rural areas alike.
Some roads
are dotted with so many makeshift courts that sometimes the traffic is
blocked.
Local television also air basketball games on a more than regular basis

Why bother to stop and rest? You think the Lakers are going to play
deep into June, that is, if they made it to the PO at all.
