TNT Tropang 5G is going all-out to further harness the potential of young Filipino cagers as it activates the “RHJ On Tour,” a free basketball clinic led by former National Basketball Association (NBA) player and three-time Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Best Import Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.

Fresh from back-to-back PBA titles and bannering their new Tropang 5G jerseys, Hollis-Jefferson and the entire TNT Tropang 5G have been constantly looking for ways to give back to fans for their unwavering support. The “RHJ on Tour,” which is being held in Metro Manila and select provinces, is a key opportunity to do just that.

Open to young basketball players from all over the Philippines, the program reveals a new side of Hollis-Jefferson imparting valuable basketball knowledge to aspiring ballers to advance the cause of youth basketball development.

Joining Hollis-Jefferson in this training series are Tropang 5G’s Jayson Castro, team manager Jojo Lastimosa, and coaches Ranidel de Ocampo and Bong Ravena.

“RHJ on Tour” kicked off last 7 June in Quezon City and will be held in various locations every weekend until the end of July.

“This is something truly special for me as I have become quite a Filipino by heart playing for Tropang 5G,” the 30-year-old Hollis-Jefferson, who spent six seasons in the NBA after being drafted 23rd overall by the Portland Trailblazers in the 2015 NBA Draft, said.

“I look at this basketball tour as a huge opportunity to share my experience and push young Filipino players to chase their dreams and become the future of the game.”

Hollis-Jefferson expressed his gratitude to the young cagers who have shown willingness and determination to excel in the game that is close to the hearts of the Filipinos.

“I want to thank everyone who came in to show support and I’m grateful that the kids brought the energy. They had a lot of fun,” he said.

“We were able to talk about the most important things in life: School, family, having fun, and being able to enjoy basketball. We talked about the importance of being able to listen and respect their parents and take in all the knowledge from school because these things take us much further.”
