CLEVELAND, Ohio -- LeBron James is due in the Philippines Wednesday for his annual trip to Asia with Nike.
Numerous reports out of the Philippines say James is headed to Manila for the second time in three years, in this case to promote the Nike Rise program -- a nationwide search for basketball talent documented for a weekly reality show there -- and mentor finalists for Nike Rise.
Nike hasn't announced James' tour in the United States and James' paid public-relations team has only said he was traveling to China. James' Twitter feed, with more than 23 million followers, is likely to be active with pictures of his Asian trip.
