John Rodney Brondial (born November 20, 1990) is a Filipino-Australian professional basketball player who currently plays for the Barako Bull Energy of the PBA. He played college basketball for Adamson University in the UAAP. He was drafted 6th overall by Ginebra in the 2014 PBA draft
Amateur career
Brondial was discovered by then Adamson coach Leo Austria while playing in an inter-barangay league at Philam Homes in West Avenue, Quezon City where Austria, who happened to be in the neighborhood visiting a relative, spotted him playing in a championship game.[1]
Professional career
After finishing his studies at Adamson, Brondial applied for the 2014 PBA draft. He was picked by Ginebra with their 6th overall pick. Ginebra also happened to be the archrival of San Mig Coffee, the team which Marc Pingris, his favorite player, plays for. Despite his reputation as an on-court heartthrob, Brondial promised Ginebra fans that he will do everything and will not be afraid of anything for his team.[2]
