Kobe in Singapore.

KOBE Bryant mania has hit Singapore.

More than 1,000 fans of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball superstar queued up outside Nike Singapore's flagship store at Wisma Atria on Thursday.

They were there to collect free tickets to watch the coaching clinic to be conducted by Bryant at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Wednesday. The 30-year-old will be in town on a one-day visit as part of his Nike-sponsored Asia Tour to cities such as Manila, Taipei, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Chengdu.

One thousand pairs of tickets were distributed at 11am on Thursday to the first 1,000 fans. They were snapped up in under three hours. The first 200 received a pair of early bird front-row seats.

Fans had began queuing from 9pm the previous night. By midnight, close to 100 people had set up camp outside the store.

First in line was research assistant Calvin Chiam, 28, who spent the night watching movies on his portable DVD player with two friends. He said: 'Getting the chance to see Kobe Bryant in Singapore is really a dream come true for me.'

Student Desmond Sim, 25, was another who queued overnight. He said: 'Spending the night here queuing is a small price to pay for the experience I will be enjoying.'

Those who missed out need not be disheartened. More than 2,000 free tickets will be available to the public from today to Sunday at Sistic outlets. Each person is entitled to only one pair of tickets.

Those aged 16 to 20 can also head to the Basketball Association of Singapore in Aljunied at 2pm on Sunday, where trials will be held for the eight remaining slots to take part in the clinic.
