NBA superstar Kobe Bryant and Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard is set to visit Manila, Philippines on July 21 as part of a six-city tour Asia sponsored by Nike.

The 2009 NBA Finals MVP Kobe Bryant is also set to visit Singapore, Taipei, Hongkong, Shanghai and Chengdu. The tour gives Bryant a chance to check back on young Asians he met in previous tours. He last visited Manila in 2007.

Nike will also launch its latest design “Nike Dream Season”, which is part of Bryant’s signature shoe collection sold exclusively in Asia.

The Los Angeles Lakers just recently won the 2009 NBA Finals against Orlando Magic.
