THE Denver Nuggets’ Monte Morris and National Basketball Association (nba) legend Muggsy Bogues will grace the NBA 3X Philippines presented by AXA on August 3 and 4 at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall and at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) Forum Tent.
Since its launch in 2011, the NBA 3X event will feature a 3-on-3 tournament featuring men’s and women’s teams with interactive fan activities and authentic NBA entertainment that will include performances from the 2019 NBA Champion Toronto Raptors mascot, the Raptor.
Competitions will be in the boys (under-13, under-16, under-18 and open category), girls (under-18 and open category), an invitation-only Celebrity Division featuring local personalities and an AXA division exclusive to employees and distributors.
Registration for NBA 3X Philippines 2019 is live at www.nba3x.com/philippines on a first-come, first-served basis and runs until all slots are full.
Registration fees for the age divisions are P1,000 per team, while open divisions are P1,600 per team. Each participant will get an NBA 3X jersey and special prizes for the overall winners of each division.
“I’m excited to experience the lively basketball culture of the Philippines and witness their unique style of play,” Morris said. “NBA 3X will set an amazing atmosphere for fans to celebrate the game.”
“Returning to the Philippines is a great opportunity to reconnect with the passionate fans,” Bogues said. “As the game continues to evolve, I’m eager to see how this translates to the 3-on-3 competition and look forward to a highly entertaining weekend of basketball lifestyle.”
