Hey Filipino fans...this is our chance to see the Finals MVP in our home town playing with Blake Griffin, Lilliard, Pierce,DeRozan and Lowry. This is for charity!!!

Whoa.. I read a tweet about this last week, but I assumed it was a typo since all the articles/tweets made no mention of Kawhi since I saw that. Pretty cool that he's been getting a lot of recognition for all his success.

any idea on the tickets? I'm not going to miss this damnit.

[Mikeanaro]

Great, will Durbeta play too?

[Duncanoypi]

Here's the ticket details:



Pretty much expensive though!

Someone has to backup Kawhi, right?

Should've taken Blatche and Clarkson too, IMO. To play with the locals.

What?

[FireMicoHalili]

Jordan Clarkson, half-Filipino. Andray Blatche, naturalized Filipino. Just to even out both squads. Or give the locals a tinge of hope at least.

Ugh. Gonna be in Australia during those dates. Gilas is gonna get ripped to shreds.

Sadly, Clarkson is ineligible to play as a local as per FIBA rules, we could easily naturalize him as he's half Filipino but we need size, and Blatche is the best talent we can get at that height who is willing to be a citizen.

$500 for courtside tickets? That's like twice the monthly minimum wage here in the Philippines!

Kawhi though, I'll just watch it on TV, televised live in TV5 or AKTV41.

[100%duncan]

Just for the record btw

Biatche

If you have cheap tickets can you still go near the court for autographs

Not sure, araneta's security esp in events like these are so strict. Im hoping for a meet and greet.

[Captivus]

Wouldnt surprise me if Kawhi's jerseys sales start climbing in Asia...I mean...Kobe level.

[Baynes]

I'LL BE THERE

[Baynes]

good thing it's on Araneta. Even at GA you'll be able to have a clear view

[jmard5]

Good find!
