For a third time, LeBron James captured the hearts and the imagination of basketball fans in the Philippines when he visited the country for a third time on Saturday.

The arrival of the 3-time NBA champion and arguably the game's best player had everyone at Mall of Asia Arena screaming their lungs out.

Here are a few scenes at the event that also saw James participating in an exhibition game featuring Gilas Pilipinas players.
