NBA star Rajon Rondo checked out the local talents here Tuesday in the Red Bull Skills Clinic at the Ronac Art Center gym with selected players from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP). Among the top collegiate players who participated in the skills clinic were Ateneo’s Kiefer Ravena, Letran’s Kevin Alas, Jose Rizal's Nate Matute, Perpetual Help’s Jett Vidal and San Beda’s Baser Amer.
The Boston Celtics point guard taught several of his game-time moves including the floater, behind-the-back bounce pass and the Euro Step among others.
Rondo is looking forward to return next year when the Red Bull King of the Rock includes the Philippines in its Asian qualifying legs.
