Veteran Glen Robinson III decorate the league with NBA skills

NBA veteran Glen Robinson III is ready to bring his wealth of experience and leadership to a Magnolia squad that has stockpiled new talents led by Zav Lucero and Jerom Lastimosa during the offseason.

Deprived of a PBA championship since 2018, the Hotshots have high hopes that Robinson III can help lead the franchise back to the league’s Mount Olympus.

“The experience I have in the NBA, that’s what they want me to bring. I’m trying to bring my best every day and uplift everyone around me, and my teammates have done a great job bringing me to the team,” said Rohinson III, the 2017 NBA Slam Dunk champion.

While this would be the first time for the son of former NBA star Glen Robinson to play overseas, the incoming Magnolia import expressed his readiness to play at a “high level” every game day.

“I’ve never played overseas. I’m expected to bring a high level of game whenever I can bring and that’s why I’m here,” added Robinsons, whose team scored a 102-94 win over San Miguel in their preseason game on Friday.

Robinson III admitted that since arriving in the country three weeks ago, he’s been learning how the PBA style of being played with the help of his teammates.

And yes, the 30-year-old American is pumped up to reinforce Magnolia, especially upon learning that the franchise has a solid fan base in the PBA.

“I wasn’t too familiar with it (the PBA) earlier, but I’ve learned this is the second-oldest professional basketball league, so that’s a pleasure to be a part of. It’s really cool for me to experience being a part of the league that is functioning really, really well,” said the 40th overall pick of the Minnesota Timberwolves during the 2014 NBA Draft.

“I’m proud of it and excited to be a part of it playing for one of the most popular teams in the league.”
