NBA champion Glen Rice, G League coach Brian Shaw, and G League elite prospect Jalen Green will participate in the first-ever online NBA Republika Playoffs Party on Monday.
The NBA Republika Playoffs Party will be live-streamed beginning 8 PM on the NBA Philippines Facebook page.
The virtual event will feature a combination of authentic NBA entertainment, interactive elements, and interviews with Rice, Shaw, and Philippine basketball personalities.
“As the postseason nears, it’s terrific to see the amount of work done by the NBA to continue the tradition of awarding an NBA champion,” said Rice.
“I’m looking forward to the excitement of the playoffs and sharing this experience with Filipino fans by participating in the first-ever NBA Republika Playoffs Party.”

I’m excited to enjoy this event virtually with Filipino fans and share some of my own personal experiences from competing in the playoffs, both as a player and a coach,” added Shaw.
Additionally, the virtual event will include select videos of NBA mascot performances from Indiana’s Boomer the Panther, Milwaukee’s Bango the Buck, and Orlando’s Stuff the Magic Dragon.
