BACK-TO-BACK National Basketball Association champion and Finals Most Valuable Player Kevin Durant of the Golden State Warriors will visit Manila on Sunday to share his stories of self-belief and uncompromising drive to Filipino fans no matter what circumstances they face in life.
In what will be his first visit to Manila for Nike, Durant aims to share the lessons that brought him this far.
From the countless hours spent in the gym honing his game, to the sacrifices he makes for love of the game, to going beyond the fear of failure, he wants Pinoy ballers to push harder every time—even if they have already reached the top.
Durant will be spreading the word and belief of giving one’s relentless focus and commitment to the game with consistency, on and off the court at all times.
There will be a champion’s welcome at 9th Avenue across Nike Park Fort in Bonifacio Global City at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, followed by a meet-and-greet session with a select group of and fans at the store.
Durant’s tour will also include a training session with selected players who have been consistently raising their game with Nike Hyper Court.
He will share some of his workouts, training drills and inspirational beliefs as he leads them to rise to the challenge in the KD Nike Hyper Court Team All-Star Challenge at the Araneta Coliseum.
“We are thrilled to have Kevin Durant with us this time around for the first time ever in Manila. Fresh off a recent amazing season, this is an opportune moment to welcome and celebrate his journey of hard work and perseverance, which brings him to where he is today, with all aspiring Filipino ballers,” Jino Ferrer, country marketing manager of Nike Philippines said.
