To welcome the world’s largest basketball tournament, Smart has transformed the SM Mall of Asia globe into a colossal basketball with a hoop, creating one of the most breathtaking and monumental basketball tributes the country has ever witnessed.
Measuring 15 meters in diameter within a hoop with a circumference of 111 meters, a total of 248 workers, including site workers, engineers, safety officers, and designers, among others, erected this massive installation during several weeks of heavy downpours.
This transformation was unveiled on Tuesday evening at exactly 7:00 p.m.
