So,
apparently, the man who (I hope) will lead the Chicago Bulls back to the NBA
Finals (and more) is right here in Metro Manila.

| Derrick Rose is in Manila as the last stop in his 2013 world tour! |
Derrick
Rose, the Illinois hardcourt hero (and maven of melodrama), arrived last
night (Saturday, September 14) and is
set to stay in town till Monday, September 16, for his adidas D-Rose tour.
As of this
writing, Rose is in the Smart-Araneta Coliseum for the Grand Finals of the
adidas 3-on-3 tournament, which pits the top high school ballers in Southeast
Asia! adidas Philippines actually gave away 4,000 FREE tickets to Rose’s fans
for the 3-on-3 Finals.

| And even more action from the 3-on-3 tournament elimination rounds. |
Tomorrow, he
will address local sports media in a press conference at the Marriott Hotel
before going to the Mall of Asia Atrium for the NBA 2k13 tournament (he plays
the winner in a one-game face off!).
Manila is
actually the last stop in the former Memphis Tiger’s world tour, which also
included visits to Croatia, Serbia, England, France, Spain, China, and Japan.
Rose’s
Manila tour is sponsored by Marriott Hotel (duh!) and Powerade, while the SM
Mall of Asia and the Smart-Araneta Coliseum served as venue partners.
Aside from
the tour itself, adidas Philippines is also giving away adidas merchandise for
people who will send photos and video clips of the D-Rose tour from the
perspective of the fans! View the mechanics here:
