http://www.nba.com/features/kg_blog_summer06.html When we landed in Taipei I was exhausted and didn't really know what to expect. I did hear that it was a cool city and they had the world’ s tallest building, Taipei 101. The next morning we started the day off with a press conference to launch in Taipei my Asia adidas shoe. We did some interviews and I took some pictures with local retail accounts. After that had to get my FIFA World Cup ’06 on, sorry I am addicted! From there we went and did this TV show where there were three of the top players in Taiwan hosting. One was a point guard that they called Baby Allen Iverson. The second one was a forward that I was told was a good shooter like Reggie Miller. Then they had a big that was supposed to be one of the top big men in their league. I must say that they did give the TV show a little flair. Together they thought me some Chinese phrases and we played a shooting game on a little goal, like the one at the carnival. The guys were really into tattoos. They like Allen Iverson and Marcus Camby’s tattoos (they both have Chinese character tattoos on them). After the shoe, we were off to check out Taipei 101. It was crazy because it was like an event when you go to see the building. From the start until we got to the top of the building it was entertaining. It has a Starbucks, ice cream shop, a shopping mall, just about anything you would need. Typical I had to get some ice cream on a waffle cone. They gave us a tour, the history and a film of the making of it. As we went to the top we saw endless, endless miles of Taipei. Believe me when I say this, you had to be there. As we went back on the tour a crowd gathered. Before we knew it we had a mob of people taking pictures. I have to say I was feeling like Rod Stewart. Yep RRREEEAAALLL rock starish. We left Taipei 101 and went to meet one hundred and fifty winners of an adidas KG contest and do a basketball clinic on an outdoor court. I had the chance to say what’s up, took some pictures and even dunked the ball a couples of times. They love that (dunking). It was a really nice set up. Then we went next door to the Jones Cup. The Jones Cup is an International tournament for both men and women. Again did some interviews, shook some hands, dapted some people and then they even let me do the tip at center court. I took pictures with the Australian, Taipei and Italy women’s teams. That was cool. You know I can’t miss the opportunity to take a picture with a lot of women. HA HA. As I said my last goodbyes, I watched for the last time the gratitude and millions of applauses which were all appreciated. Off to the airport! Got to the airport and took my final walk through the international airport. The walk was long and exhausting, but truly worth it. As we walked I reflected on how blessed and fortunate I am. Most importantly how appreciative I am. With that I want to say thank you Asia, thank you India and thank you adidas for making this a trip I will not forget. I hope you guys enjoyed the blogs. Youngsters keep playing the game with your hearts and your passion. Always remember: Impossible is Nothing! I have been your host KG. KG signing off! Peace! --
