With its new state of the art Mall of Asia Arena, the SM Group is looking to bring top basketball action to Filipino fans, as it bids to host an NBA preseason game at the venue. Hans Sy, president of SM Prime Holdings, has already broached the idea to no less than NBA commissioner David Stern.
“Hans Sy was invited by Commissioner Stern during the All-Star Game, and Hans told the Commissioner that he has an arena that is suitable for hosting one of the NBA games,” said Junel Baculi, the athletic director of National University which is part of the SM Group. NU is hosting the upcoming season of the UAAP, whose games will be played at the MOA Arena.
