Barangay Ginebra rookie RJ Abarrientos shared insights on his basketball journey, playing overseas, teaming up with PBA stars, and future personal plans during a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) session.
From his experience playing overseas to teaming up with now-Barangay Ginebra teammates, rookie RJ Abarrientos gave fans an inside look at his basketball journey during a Reddit Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on r/SportsPH.
Hosted by One Sports, Abarrientos gamely answered questions about his career, favorite NBA players, and even his off-court life.
Here are some of RJ’s answers:
Sino ang all-time favorite NBA player mo?
LeBron James. Wala kong masyadong kailangan idescribe about LeBron but if you see him playing boith on offense and defense he's so effective. Magaling sya sa basketball but after that he's a father figure.
May pinag gayahan ka ba ng shooting form mo or pinagbasehan?
Steph Curry.
What’s your pre-game routine to get you focused and hyped up?
Good music and coffee.
How was it playing in South Korea?
It's really tough playing overseas because malayo ka sa family mo and then yung playing style kasi ng ibang bansa ibang iba sa PBA. They have two imports that can play together and then here sa PBA one import lang. I think that's the big difference kung ico-compare ko ang PBA at Korea.
How doest it feels to team up with Scottie and JB?
For me it's an honor to play alongside with JB and Scottie. Yung experience ni Kuya Scottie as a guard and we know Kuya Scottie as a star on his own role. Iba siyang player. Ang hirap nya i-compare sa ibang player kasi sobrang nabubuhay team pag andun sya sa loob. JB, I dont need to explain. We already know he's one of the best import na naglaro sa PBA. He's the GOAT for me.
Aside from FEU, which school/s did you considered to attend?
I'll say Ateneo. Cause I wanna play for Coach Tab before.
Who is the hardest player to guard in the PBA for this conference?
Terrence Romeo, Cjay Perez, Chris Banchero.

What is your favorite pastime besides playing basketball?
Swimming, I used to hangout with my family kapag off sa basketball, and hangout with my girlfriend.
Sinigang or Adobo?
Sinigang.
Kelan ka magpapakasal?
Oohh, that's a tough question. Maybe next year hehe.
What is your reaction regarding sa mga kumakalat na videos na mag ka holding hands ni Scottie last game?
