MANILA - When NBA player Dwight Howard visited the Philippines, Adidas created a one-of-a-kind 'autograph' session for fans.

Adidas used tracking technology to convert the movement of a special basketball into a kind of signature as Howard competed with fans in brief (and totally unfair) games of one-on-one.

Participants left the event, which took place on 9 October at the Mall of Asia in Manila, with a T-shirt commemorating how effortlessly Howard beat them.
