KOBE IN MNL

I have been a big Kobe fan since 4th grade, since he was traded to the Lakers for Vlade Divac, since he won the Slam Dunk contest, since he shot that airball during the pivotal playoff game against the Utah Jazz in his early years, since before the afro and after the afro.

So yeah, found out that he's gonna be here for a day.

This is me 6 years ago. Sorry for the blurred pic, so old-school, you wouldn't wanna see it anyway. haha.
Hanes crew, Kobe Champion jersey, braces, and how can I forget my Tommy Hilfiger Carpenter denim! Yeah, adolescence, we go thru stages...haha.
Kobe go against Pippen and Co. during the first round of the NBA playoffs. They ended up winning it all during that season, and the next season.

I just really had to take these. Evolution of Kobe's kicks from Adidas to Nike. Got the first 2 (Adidas) and the last 2 (Nike).

The Philippines is really a basketball mecca. Line for Kobe tickets is like a line for ADMU-DLSU tickets....speaking of which, that game's already 2 weeks from now. Shoutout to WIPCAPS! haha.
With all the hype surrounding Kobe right now ( Finals MVP at recently concluded NBA Finals, NBA Champion, Olympic Gold medalist), you'd really want to see what this guy's made of. So people flocked, not for tier 0 kicks, but for Kobe tickets, the chance to see Kobe train up and coming athletes here in the Philippines and see where it can take you in your pick-up games!



People of all ages love Kobe. Like Mcdonald's.

Looks like there's guestlist to Nike Fort during this particular day only.

Miko Abueg wearing the MLK Kobe 4s. Martin (BTV) and Toots say hi.

The Kobe in MNL kit. Brought my Kobe rookie cards just in case he signs em. No biggie. And yeah, that's a brand of cigarettes from Vietnam.

TATA BATATA!!

OBEY.

Tata screams Kirk Long! haha.

Nico Salva's moment. You'll see him posting 20-20 for thy alma mater soon!! just post 'em up!

At this point, the crowd was like, "Swerte ni Manong Janitor! Kiss naman
diyan!"

What was on this kid's mind at this very moment? WWOTKMATVM?!?!


Yo Banj!!
