The Big Dome to host 2016 PBA All-Star Weekend in August
Great news to basketball fans like me as the much-awaited PBA
All-Star Weekend, held annually during the middle of Philippine Basketball
Association (PBA) season, is set to happen at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in
August, after a contract signing between PBA and Uniprom, Inc. was held on July
5 at Novotel Manila Araneta Center.
PBA Commissioner
Chito Narvasa and OIC-COO of Uniprom, Inc. Ms
Irene Jose inked the agreement, which heralds an exhilarating weekend of
festivities for families who will be watching at the Big Dome – the home of
PBA.
This year, the PBA has elevated its
game by showcasing not just its PBA superstars, but also its players from the
PBA D-League, Batang PBA, and the PBA Women’s Tournament. Aside from a
basketball clinic for kids, the traditional friendly match between PBA Giants
and PBA Stalwarts is sure to amuse the crowd. There will also be exhibitions
and special performances by PBA players and coaches culminating in the
anticipated All-Star Game, a showdown of the league's star
players using various game formats. PBA stars are also expected to participate
in a glitzy motorcade around the Araneta Center to meet their fans.
Overall, the All-Star Weekend
presents a platform for players to show off their skills in ways that the
regular season would not ordinarily allow. This year, the PBA promises to bring
its game to greater heights with this year’s All-Star Weekend at the iconic
Smart-Araneta Coliseum.
