A Decade of vivo, A Legacy of Hoops
This isn’t vivo’s first rodeo with the NBA. Earlier this year, they brought San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan to Manila in May, followed by Oklahoma City Thunder guard Isaiah Joe in August. Now, they’re going full legend mode with Gary Payton.
The partnership between vivo and the NBA has been more than just branding—it’s been about connection. Bringing basketball icons to Filipino fans, creating unforgettable moments, and yes, capturing it all with the vivo V60.
“As the official smartphone of the NBA in the Philippines, vivo is proud to create moments where fans can connect with their basketball idols,” said Liu Lu, Brand Marketing Director of vivo Philippines. “This meet and greet event is a memory that will last a lifetime, and we’re excited to capture it with the power of the vivo V60.”
Why Gary Payton?
Let’s be clear—Gary Payton isn’t just a former NBA player. He’s a defensive legend, a nine-time All-Star, and the only point guard to win Defensive Player of the Year in the modern era. His nickname, “The Glove,” wasn’t just clever—it was earned. He could shut down scorers like a blackout curtain.
Payton’s presence in Manila isn’t just nostalgic—it’s symbolic. He represents grit, excellence, and the kind of legacy vivo wants to celebrate as it marks ten years in the Philippines. It’s a crossover between sports and tech, and it’s happening center court at SM Megamall.
The vivo V60: Capturing Legendary Moments
Of course, no vivo event is complete without a nod to its latest tech marvel—the vivo V60. With its ZEISS-powered camera system, AI Four-Season Portrait mode, and Aura Light flash, the V60 is built to capture moments that matter. Whether it’s a selfie with The Glove or a courtside snap of the crowd, this phone is ready.
Expect fans to be snapping away during the event, and expect those shots to look good. Like, poster-worthy good.
Basketball Meets Technology
This event isn’t just a celebration—it’s a statement. It shows how technology and sports can come together to create experiences that go beyond the screen. It’s about community, fandom, and the kind of memories that stick.
And let’s be honest, it’s also about bragging rights. Because if you get a selfie with Gary Payton, you’re posting that everywhere.
Don’t Miss Your Shot
