Bank worker Antonio Ilumin, 47, poses for a portrait with his collection of Kobe Bryant memorabilia in his home at Antipolo, Philippines, August 9, 2023. “I live my life like how I play basketball,” he said. “In basketball, there is always an MVP (most valuable player) so I strive for the same thing at work and in life. I work hard to get promotions, I help out my neighbors.” REUTERS/Eloisa Lopez
