Dwight Howard in Manila 2013

During the NBA Global Games weekend here in Manila last month, Dwight Howard took some time to entertain his fans after their morning practice. Thanks to Adidas and Greenbulb, Solereapers got invited to witness this event (as well as the NBA open practice). Dwight being his usual wacky self played 1 on 1 with a bunch of fans- it didn't go well for them obviously- but everyone had a great time. D12 didn't prepare for some flashy dunks as he was wearing an Adidas casual high top sneaker, he did an effortless two handed monster put back dunk however and completely electrified the crowd at the MOA Atrium. It was a lifestyle event actually where he danced with some fans and tried out the high tech Adidas Signature Moves setup. Pics and the official presser below:

Dwight Howard, an adidas global asset, an NBA All-Star, Defensive Player of 

the Year, Slam Dunk Champion and an Olympic Gold medalist, was in Manila for 

the NBA Global Games Philippines 2013, where his team, the Houston Rockets, 

is playing against the Indiana Pacers. The NBA Global Games in Manila will be 

held on October 10 at the MOA Arena.

Apart from the much-awaited match between the Rockets and Pacers, Howard 

also participated in exhibition games in the adidas Signature Shots event. He 

showed off his moves to fans in the SM Mall of Asia Atrium as he put on a fun 

clinic on how he uses his skill and size to dominate on the court. Howard even 

went one-on-one against several lucky fans, who were even given souvenirs that 

had customized digital “signatures” based on Howard’s actual moves. These 

unique signatures were created through motion detecting cameras that tracked 

the way he moved the ball at the event.

Earlier in the month, adidas also gave away tickets to the NBA Global Games 

2013 practice sessions of the Houston Rockets and Indiana Pacers, through a 

retail promotion at participating adidas stores.
