Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — Roll out the red carpet for the King has arrived.
Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James arrived at 5:35 p.m. on Wednesday (August 19) for the Nike Rise program.
In his second visit in the country, the four-time MVP will hold a press conference in the morning before meeting his fans at the Mall of Asia Arena on Thursday (August 20).
Nike Rise is a developmental program that aims to teach street basketball players the rudiments of the game and develop their skills.

The two-time champion first set foot on Philippine soil in 2013 where he participated in a scrimmage featuring the country’s top college stars and Gilas Pilipinas cagers.
