After TNT coach Chot Reyes posted in his twitter last day that Derek Fisher will be joining Kobe and Chris Paul in an exhibition match in Manila, MVP Sports Foundation president Al Panlilio Sunday confirmed the participation of the former NBA rookie of the year and MVP Derrick Rose of the Chicago Bulls. Derrick Rose is the last member of the eight-player lineup top billed by Kobe Bryant of the LA Lakers and Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets to play in an exhibition match against PBA selection team and the Smart Gilas team at Araneta Colisuem.

“There’s just one detail we’re trying to fix but he’s (Rose) okay,” said Panlilio, whose group is in-charge of putting together the historical event set at the Araneta Coliseum.

Also in the line up for the NBA stars are Derek Fisher of the LA Lakers, Tyreke Evans of the Sacramento Kings, James Harden of the Oklahoma Thunder, DeAndre Jordan of the Los Angeles Clippers and rookie Derrick Williams of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The NBA Stars will first go up against the PBA selection team on July 23, 7:00 PM and they will face Smart Gilas Pilipinas squad at 1 p.m. on July 24.
