for those who think he is fat, he does to look to have a little fat on him but nothing that training camp cant get him into shape into. the guy hardly played any games last season so he is going to have a few extra pounds, the players i dont ever worry about being in shape and working hard are t-mac and yao.

These guys should have gotten free seasn tickets

"In the finals, the Chinese officials slapped a pair of dubious flagrant fouls on Holy Child, resulting in free throws and possession for the hometown team. A 20-second shot clock violation was even called against Holy Child when there were six seconds left."

Those chinese officials really ripped off that underdog Philippines team. I guess they did'nt want a short foreign team to win the tournament. Even the "winners" knew they should have lost.

Props to T-Mac for rewarding the Holy Child of Davao team by paying for a free trip for them. He knew it was injustice for them to get cheated of their win and the accompanying free trip by Adidas.

side note: it seems like T-mac makes an entry each day but nba.com is too lazy to update it every day so instead they post two entries every other day.

Make a Wish

MANILA, Philippines -- Today is a light day. Started off by getting my shooting workout in. I run through a number of drills on court to make sure I am always working on my game. In order to continue to get better you can't take time off.

Back to the hotel for breakfast and then down to the adidas store for an in-store appearance. We walked down to the store and were escorted by a drum band. The store was cool. They of course had it decked out with my limited edition T-MAC 1.

From there we went to a local college to do a clinic for underprivileged children and I got to meet a fan of mine from the Manila Make a Wish Foundation. The event went well and I was glad to take time to meet with this young guy and hopefully help make a difference in his life.

As I am sure you have already guessed it -- more media interviews.

As always the media is a big part of the tour, but this time it was actually different. The last interview was a discussion with the Philippinees version of Phil Jackson and his three sons. It was actually pretty cool because they know the game and when you get guys who know and understand the game it makes the talk that much easier.

Well back to the room for some rest and then off to my party! Hit you up later. T-MAC

Thrilla (For Me) in Manila

MANILA, Philippines -- We are here in Manila (Philippines) and off to the hotel. As we always do when we arrive we'll grab lunch and then head down to do more media interviews.

Tonight we went to the largest mall in Asia for an adidas T-MAC fan event. When we got there, there were over two thousand of my fans waiting. They are basketball crazy here and everytime I come you can't help but feel their passion for the sport and their love for me.

At the event there were some popular entertainers and some little T-MAC ballers showing their skills. When I came out the fans went nuts! The event was hot, adidas always does it right! I had a chance to play with the little MACs and interact with some of my fans, these are the kinds of things I love to do when I am on these tours.

Well back to the hotel to grab a bite and then down to meet some of the retailers here.

Later, T-MAC.

HONG KONG -- Arrived in Hong Kong today. This is one of my most favorite cities in Asia. I made a point to tell my guys at adidas that we needed to come back again this year after last year's trip.

The hotel we stay at is amazing. The room I am in is the same one Bill Clinton and other celebrities stay at when they're here. There is a great view of the harbor and city. The guys at adidas really take great care of me no matter where we are.

We had a few hours of downtime so I was able to workout and take a nap, so I was ready to go to tonight's adidas retailer dinner.

The dinner was on a three-story boat. The dinner had a number of courses so there was definitely plenty to eat. They did a traditional dragon dance, it was cool. We had a great time, but off to enjoy the Hong Kong nightlife.

Dang Tmac looks like he's having a pleasant time. He must of been an Emperor in his past life... b/c his life seems to be strongly tied to asians.

Day two in Hong Kong is pretty light. We started off with an interview with CNN's Talk Asia. They had some sound problems so it took a bit longer than planned, but all was good.

Then we were off to our last comsumer event of the trip! The gym set-up and fans were cool. I got on court did my thing and then we were out.

Back to the hotel for sometime before we went out to Hong Kong bay for a traditional Junk boat ride and off to the adidas store opening. This boat was different then what you have probably seen, the two sails were actually my adidas logo, it was nice!

We got to the store and I got the chance to check out how they open stores here in Asia. This adidas store is the largest one in Asia. It was three levels and packed. We went on a tour of the store, did some media interviews and watched a fashion show. They really know how to do these kind of things right!

Off to the hotel before we head out for our lastnight of local entertaiment.

Tomorrow we are out and back to the US. So thanks to my friends at adidas and all my fans here in Asia for everything! This trip, as always was first class and very memorable. But as they say all good thing come to an end, so back home to finish getting ready for the season.

This is your boy T-MAC signing off from the 2006 adidas T-MAC Asia Tour!
