Over the next seven days I will visit Seoul (South Korea), Guangzhou (China), Manila (Philippines) and Hong Kong. Every year I look forward to coming to Asia, the fans over here show me so much love. Last season my jersey was the top selling jersey in Asia, so I know they have a love for me and what I do and that is what makes these trips truly special.Today we started off by doing a couple of one-on-one interviews with ESPN and Rookie Magazine and then we had a press conference to officially launch the adidas T-MAC Asia Tour and my visit to Seoul. As we did last year adidas and I decided to do a shoe specifically for my fans in Asia. It is the T-MAC 1 in all white with my logo in gold. There are only 1,600 numbered pairs available and as I said are only available in Asia for my Asian fans. At the press conference, I was surprised by the number of media at the event. There had to have been about 80 different media all from Korea. For a market where basketball is not as hot as it once was, it was good to see the media out and supporting us. From the press conference we went to lunch. It was the first time I tried duck, crispy fried duck. And I tried baked ox tail over in Korea -- go figure. After lunch we toured the mall and made our way to the adidas store. I saw a number of things in the store that were cool and I wanted, but couldn't get because they did have my sizes (3XL tall for shirts and 15 for shoes).Then from there went back to the hotel to get some rest! Got me a good hour and half of much needed nap. When I woke up we went to an arena that was used for the 1988 Olympics and did a T-MAC fan event. The event was a basketball clinic, we had a couple of hip hop shows and just an overall good time with over 1,000 of my fans.Well I am heading out to the club to go out and have a nice time with the Korean folks. I will check in with you guys tomorrow to let you know how my day goes. This is T-MAC, it has been long day, but it has been a great day and I will holler at you all later!</div>
