ArenaPlus, made Christmas extra special for Filipino basketball fans by hosting an exclusive event featuring NBA star Austin Reaves. On December 23, 2024, lucky participants enjoyed a virtual meet-and-greet, where they had the chance to video call, chat, and ask Reaves about his basketball journey, life in the league, and his partnership with ArenaPlus.
The event culminated with the grand prize everyone was hoping for: an all-expenses-paid trip to Los Angeles to meet Reaves during the NBA All-Star Week in February. Joseph Marana, the speechless winner, received the personal invitation live from Reaves himself.
During the livestream on ArenaPlus’ social media pages, Reaves shared insights into his career and routines. He recounted his rookie days, where he performed small errands but was mostly treated kindly by his teammates. He also detailed his game day schedule, which includes early wake-ups, pre-game workouts, strategy sessions, and shooting drills.
Reaves emphasized his dedication to improving as a player, focusing on building strength, speed, and versatility each offseason. “Basketball is a game you can never perfect, and that’s the beauty of it,” he said.
Beyond the grand prize, over 30 other items, including sports merchandise and gadgets, were given away to fans during the event. Reaves expressed his gratitude to ArenaPlus for the opportunity to reconnect with Filipino fans and revisit cherished memories of his time in Manila.
