LeBron James is set to return to Manila.
James, who is arguably the best basketball player in the world today, is making his third visit to the Philippines.
The 32-year-old James, who just led the Cleveland Cavaliers to their third straight NBA Finals two months ago, will be in the country on Sept. 2 for his “Strive for Greatness Show” which will be held at Mall of Asia Arena.
James was supposed to visit Manila in September 2016 but cancelled the stop due to logistical reasons.
The two-time Olympic gold medalist is looking to bring another title in Cleveland in the coming season, but with a different-looking squad.
The Cavaliers, who yielded the championship to the Golden State Warriors in five games, just swapped its All-Star guard Kyrie Irving to the Boston Celtics for another stud in Isaiah Thomas, quality role player in Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic and an unprotected 2018 first round pick from the Brooklyn Nets.
Cleveland also picked up 2011 NBA MVP Derrick Rose and Jeff Green in the offseason.
