PHOTO: Philippines basketball court transformed with giant LeBron mural

LeBron James already put on a show on the floor during his recent visit to the Philippines, and now he is the floor.

Nike has turned one Manila basketball court - in an abandoned parking garage that now houses 5,000 displaced people - into a massive poster of the superstar. James seemed genuinely moved by it.

Visited this amazing place in Manila today. An abandoned parking garage that’s been taken over by more than 5,000 displaced family members. This basketball court is its heart and soul, and if it weren’t for basketball giving the kids a distraction from the bad influences around them the state would tear it down. Honored to have my likeness grace this space. Until next time Philippines. #RiseAboveAll #StriveForGreatness
