“I’m excited to experience the lively basketball culture
of the Philippines and witness their unique style of play,” said Morris. “NBA 3X will set an amazing atmosphere for
fans to celebrate the game.”
“Returning to the Philippines is a great opportunity to
reconnect with the passionate fans,” said Bogues. “As the game continues to evolve, I’m eager
to see how this translates to the 3-on-3 competition and look forward to a
highly entertaining weekend of basketball lifestyle.”
“We at AXA Philippines are always excited to support
NBA 3X Philippines year after year, and this one is no exception,” said AXA

is loved in this country, the game has become a great platform for us to

by being prepared – and highlight our common principles of teamwork, integrity,
courage, and innovation.”
