Owner Real Deal Posted July 22, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 With a lockout in effect and NBA players talking about playing in Europe next season, some big stars are getting a taste of basketball overseas. League MVP Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls, the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder and New Orleans Hornets guard Chris Paul are among those who will be playing exhibition games in the Philippines this weekend, according to multiple media reports. The games benefit the MVP Sports Foundation, which helps youth sports programs. "The (foundation) over there is all about giving back and helping out kids," Paul told the New Orleans Times-Picayune Wednesday. "That's something I feel strongly about also. I'm going over there with a few other guys, and we're going to play. I found out about this through D-Fish (Derek Fisher). He let me know about it." According to reports, Fisher also will play, along with Sacramento Kings guard Tyreke Evans, Minnesota Timberwolves draftee Derrick Williams and Washington Wizards big man JaVale McGee.http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/6790722/reports-derrick-rose-kobe-bryant-manila-exhibitions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
