Last week, the Philippines played home to a an incredible basketball event between top NBA superstars, coached by Kobe Bryant, and the Smart Gilas Pilipinas National Team. The game took place at the SMART Araneta Coliseum and featured NBA stars like Kevin Durant, Chris Paul and the 2010-2011 NBA MVP Derrick Rose. However, it was the nation’s hero Manny Pacquiao that stole the show. According to a report by Philstar.com, the game stopped during mid-play as Manny Pacquiao arrived and sat by the hometown team’s coach.  Check the pic of Durant & Pacman after the jump…

When Pacquiao arrived, the arena erupted chanting “Manny, Manny, Manny”. In fact, once time stopped during the 3rd quarter action, Kobe Bryant came over and shook hands with Manny. Many other NBA stars like Chris Paul, Derek Fisher, and Derrick Williams all got pictures with Pacquiao.
