NBA 3X Philippines: DeMar DeRozan, Wesley Johnson, Raptors Dance Pak and Slamson the Lion

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Basketball fanatics had another awesome NBA experience with the return of the NBA 3X here in the Philippines. Presented by Sprite, boys and girls of all skill levels - with an open division for men and women - were able to participate and vie for top honors and bragging rights at the SM Mall of Asia and Philippine International Convention Center from July 4 to 6, 2014.

At a press conference held at the NBA Cafe of SM Aura located in Bonifacio Global City, members of the media had the opportunity to interview popular personalities like Toronto Raptors' DeMar DeRozan, Los Angeles Lakers' Wesley Johnson, the Raptors Dance Pak, and Sacramento Kings' Slamson the Lion.

Coco-Cola executive Adel Tamano was there to represent Sprite, and joined the organizers from NBA Philippines in a photo ops, along with the celebrity guests.

Aside from the competitive 3x3 tournaments, the NBA 3X Philippines 2014 celebrates basketball and the NBA with many free fan activities like a slam dunk contest, basketball clinics, 3-point shoot-outs, skill challenges, autograph sessions, live bands and DJs,  NBA merchandize giveaways, and appearances of local celebrities at a celebrity division 3x3 tournament.

Basketball has been the number one and most popular sport in the Philippines because it can be played almost anywhere. Everyone knows how to soot a ball into a ring, but there's only a few who make it up to the ranks of NBA stardom.

What NBA 3X is doing is to give an opportunity for the nameless to join and participate in events where their skills can be tested and appreciated by a team all with efforts to make it great and win. There are opportunities to meet with NBA legends, but I believe the biggest motivation here is the bonding and camaraderie gained from these gathering of like-minded individuals who put sports, fitness and teamwork above all.
