Elton Brand to Visit the Philippines
In a previous post, I spoke of how the NBA is starting to take notice of the basketball market here in the Philippines. Thanks to Yao Ming, Asia is no longer a farfetched destination for the world’s best basketball players.
Our country has played host to the biggest NBA starts on the planet. Kobe Bryant. Tracy McGrady. Dwight Howard. Shaq Daddy. Thanks to Nike and Adidas? I guess so. It is heartening to know that one the NBA’s most efficient players (although injured), has signified his intention of visiting our basketball crazy nation. Not to promote a new shoe. Not because he was told to. He just flat out wants to reach out to Filipino basketball fans.
In this article, Elton Brand talks about visiting the Philippines this coming summer, possibly paving the way for more superstars to visit the country.
Today, NBA Superstars. Tomorrow, pre-season games. Two to Three years from now, an All-Star Game maybe? I’d give up my left nut to be part of that. Yahoo!
