Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson will be in Manila on August 31 to grace the finals of ANTA's "Shock the Game" tournament, the brand announced recently.
The tournament kicked off in late June with elimination legs in Cebu and at the University of the Philippines Diliman. The finals of the tournament will be held at the SM Megamall Fashion Hall.
The Shock the Game competition features a full-court, 4-on-4 format where the first team to reach 21 points in 15 minutes is declared the winner.
A total of 128 teams from all parts of the country will compete in the tournament. The UP Fighting Maroons were the champions of the tournament last year.
“Shock The Game 2023 will be a bigger tournament in terms of geographic reach, a number of teams, players, and a grand finals match showcase,” mentions JP Paglinawan, General Manager of ANTA Philippines.
The following is the schedule of the elimination legs:
Thompson, who will be making his first-ever visit to the Philippines, is one of the several NBA players who endorses ANTA. He signed a 10-year, $80 million deal with the shoe brand in 2017.
The latest release from his signature shoe line is the KT8, which is available locally in different colorways with a price tag of P8,995.
