It takes a lot of guts, courage, and hard work
to attain such discipline in the world of sports like basketball. But this 19-year-old
handsome guy from Cebu has more to offer with the USJR Jaguars. Meet RJ "The Sniper" Dinolan.
Born Ralph Jude Dinolan on June 18, 1996 in Cebu City
to Mr. Isaias Dinolan and Ms. Dolores Dinolan, the 5’ 11” shooting guard is
currently studying and playing for University of San Jose Recoletos Jaguars.
In the NBA, he likes 4-time NBA regular season MVP
LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers because he facilitates his team well.
In the PBA, he looks up to Calvin Abueva because of his fearlessness on the
court. “My older brother taught me how to play the game. I was just around 9
years old at that time. I was just a rebounder”, quipped RJ.
“I was graduating then, and Ateneo de Cebu chose me
as one of their reinforcement since I came from UV. It was Region 7’s first
time to win a championship and we beat NCR. It’s a great honor to be part of
the history” said RJ as one of his most memorable tournaments.
His career high is 32
points against SWU Cesafi tournament. RJ wants to pursue his studies and look
forward in the developmental league and in the ranks of the PBA players
someday. “This is for my family especially for my Dad who is ill due to his
left stroke”, added RJ.
