A special event will be held tomorrow, June 25, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, called Mamba Mentality Night.
The tour’s culminating activity, dubbed “The Kobe Academy” will happen in June 26. Select basketball players from the Kobe Academy Pre-camp, which happened from June 22 – 24, will join Bryant in this a special training session.
The Laker legend has set foot on Philippine shores in 1998, where he wore a barong tagalog and tried tinikling, and in 2011, when he played with collegiate and PBA stars. His last visit in the country was in 2013 for a Lenovo Mobile promotional tour.
