KOBE BRINGS NBA TO MANILA:
Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, Tyreke Evans, James Harden, Derrick Fisher and Timberwolves rookie Derrick Williams will join Kobe Bryant at the Smart Ultimate All-Star Weekend in the Philippines.
Event organizer, and Filipino coaching legend Chot Reyes told reporters, &ldquo;We almost had Blake Griffin.&nbsp; He already said yes, but his brother is getting married.&rdquo;&nbsp; DeAndre Jordan was invited as well, but had passport trouble.

Maybe some NBA stalwarts will wake up one day and make some power moves. The players are the product, and without the players, the NBA is nothing. If 10 All-Stars got their minds right and decided to do a playground tour, let alone arenas, you&amp;#8217;d have companies lining around the block to put their bids in.
Perhaps LeBron is the spark? (No chance, but it&amp;#8217;d be revolutionary.)
