To nobody's surprise, Filipinos are visibly excited that Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James is returning to Manila.
Filipinos are already welcoming King James to the country ahead of his Strive for Greatness Show at the Mall of Asia Arena tomorrow, September 2.
Fans took to LeBron's Twitter account to voice just how happy they are that The King will be making his long-awaited comeback.
After tweeting that he's "Excited to get back," Pinoy netizens, including local athletes offered some of that signature hospitality.
On my way to Manila! Excited to get back. #StriveForGreatness🚀

Azkals goalkeeper Neil Etheridge feels a bit down because he's so near, yet so far from LeBron.
Devo'd I'm in the same country but different island while he's here haha #kingjames #StriveForGreatness

Meanwhile, this user asked the 13-time NBA All-Star to buy him and his family some buko pie.
Ingat kuya. Dala ka daw buko pie. Yung susi iniwan ni mama sa ilalim ng paso. Buksan mo nalang pag wala pa kami bukas.

This Pinoy fan kept things short and sweet, and he's ready to treat LeBron for some coffee... Among other things.
Kape tayo treat ko

This guy on the other hand, is hitting the books (so he says) while waiting for LeBron to arrive.
Ingat ka pare. Dito lang ako sa dorm nagaaral. Text mo ako pag nasa court ka na!

This lady meanwhile, invited LeBron for a homecooked meal, care of her mother.
Daan ka sa bahay nag handa si mama ng food.

This fan wants The King to try some balut. For his knees maybe?
