When you're the best basketball player on the planet, sometimes you have to take your talents to places other than the United States.
While visiting the young finalists of "Rise," a Nike-sponsored reality show about Filipino basketball players, LeBron James did more than just offer encouraging words about hard work and loving the game.
After posing triumphantly in front of fiery pyrotechnics, he put on an in-game dunk contest none of the players who shared the court with him will soon forget.
No telling whether or not LeBron's popularity in the Philippines is anywhere close to what Kobe Bryant sees when he visits China, but it's clear that the King is beloved in Manila and that he loves them back.
