Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant, who bagged his second straight NBA Finals Most Valuable Player award last month, is slated to visit Manila on Sunday as part of a promotional tour for sportswear giant Nike.
It will mark Durant’s first visit in Manila for Nike, which has lined up a series of activities for the NBA star.
“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 Filipinos to push harder every time,” Nike said in a press release announcing Durant’s visit.
Durant will be welcomed at the Nike Park store in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, at 12:30 p.m. on July 8.
The Associated Press, citing a source, said Durant has decided to sign a two-year deal with the Golden State Warriors. He will be paid $30.5 million in the coming season.
