BRINGS LEBRON JAMES BACK TO INSPIRE FILIPINO YOUTHS
LeBron
James will be in Manila to inspire and mentor the final Rise team
Manila, Philippines, August 12 2015 – Nike
is bringing back two-time NBA champion and four-time MVP LeBron James to Manila
to mentor the Rise players. James will also
announce members of the final Rise team on August 20 and will continue to
inspire the young athletes to leave their comfort zone and get better in the
game like never before.
LeBron’s #RISE Story
LeBron
James broke into the scene during his formative years in high school, growing
up with a drive for greatness like no other.
His relentless desire paired with numerous hours in the gym spent
practicing and honing his skills, paved the way to basketball superstardom.
In
2003, he was drafted in the professional league and has since lived up to the
hype with numerous accolades under his belt, including two championship rings,
four MVP Awards, two Finals MVP Awards, and two All-Star MVP Awards. On a
global scale, he was the centerpiece of two Olympic Gold Medal runs in 2008 and
2012. In the past year, he faced more scrutiny and criticism than any other
basketball player in the league even as he powered his team through the finals against
numerous trials and challenges. He showed that no matter what adversities one
faces, one should go all the way and do his best and know that he can rise
above it all.
LeBron’s
tour in Manila will inspire the Filipino youths and aspiring basketball players
to
fight through obstacles to realize their true basketball potential.
