Matthew Dellavedova promotes first signature shoes in Manila

MANILA, Philippines – Milwaukee Bucks’ Matthew Dellavedova visited the Philippines for the first time to promote his signature shoes under Peak on Friday, July 21 at Robinsons Manila.

Dellavedova – who was part of the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers champion team – spearheaded the ribbon cutting of the first Peak stand-alone store in the Philippines.

The 26-year-old Dellavedova talked about his experiences as an athlete, particularly when he didn’t hear his name called in the NBA Draft.

“So I didn’t get picked (in the NBA Draft), it was very disappointing and I’m very upset obviously because it just made my dream that much harder. I went to the basketball court that night and get some shots,” said Dellavedova.

Delly relived the time when he won the championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers and also shared some of his thoughts about LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo, who will be heading to the Philippines this weekend.

“LeBron and Giannis are unique and talented players. I was lucky enough to play with LeBron for two years and there’s a reason why he’s the best player in the world. He just works so hard.”

“Giannis is a really special guy. He just one the Most Improved Player (award) and I think he can win that again next year because he doesn’t have a ceiling,”
