Won't happen because;

a) The Pacman plays shooting guard and

b) Kobe, Paul (being Americans and errr, black) will demand for a drug test so it's a fair fight

being black doesn't = being Mayweather..

Kobe, CP3, Evans, Harden in Manila ???

That's because most of us are above the age of ten.

Ohhhhh Damn! Well I'll leave you "grown ups" to your "big boy business". :lol:

Next stop: Scalpers.

Ffffffuuuuuuck.

**** the scalpers. There was a guy in PEx who sells Upper box A tickets at 3x the price and enraged the community, shamless little prick...

i settled for Gen Ad. Not sure if its worth it to buy better seats on gameday via the scalpers... i guess i'll decide on-site on that one. For the meantime, i'd stay with the worst-case scenario and watch from afar

I hope they break up the teams at some point for some mixed games. Maybe put CP3 and Harden on the other team. I wish they did this in January, that's when i'l be there. Ticket prices are cheaper around that time

I know man, but Manny just fought Shane Mosley who happens to be, a black american....

anyway I'm happy KD is coming as well!

^ Yup, DeAndre Jordan backed out but is replaced by freaking Kevin Durant.

Of course, that works in the Filipino Trade Checker!

How small is the filipino team?

Tallest player in the national team (Smart Gilas) is Douthit at 6'11 but average player height is around 6'2-6'3.

Better bring your binoculars for better vision. I hope there are still tickets available on the game date...

I'm not sure about the talent level of the PBA All Stars but looking at their height, is it wrong to say that the NBA players will absolutely dominate. I mean, DOMINATE like winning by 50 or so points?

A backcourt of CP3 and Harden makes me wet.

I think it's more like the Filipino players will be star-strucked playing against their NBA idols...

^ A +79.5 line would be just apt, i think. Think of this as Group Stages in the Olympics.

(Goes both ways, PBA All Stars and the National Team)

the philippines team in general cant even win against china or qualify for an olympics berth... this event though would probably showcase more on having fun and highlights rather than cut throat type game.... so the nba guys would probably take it easy and have lots of highlight plays... and still win big
