It's a momentous occasion for Robert Bolick as he signs a contract to play in the Japan B.League next season. The news confirms the rumors that have been circulating for two years about the young PBA star leaving to pursue opportunities overseas. For Bolick, this is a dream come true - a chance to test his skills on a bigger stage and compete against some of the best basketball players in the world.
According to a source with knowledge of the situation, Bolick's contract is a two-year deal worth $35,000 a month, with a player option for the second year. It's a substantial offer that's usually reserved for veteran players, not rookies like Bolick. Despite being offered a substantial deal to stay with the Batang Pier, Bolick ultimately decided to leave and take up this new challenge in Japan.
The decision was not an easy one for Bolick, as he has deep ties to his former team and the Philippines. The No.3 overall pick in the 2018 PBA draft has been a rising star in the league, impressing fans and pundits alike with his skills and tenacity on the court. But the lure of new experiences and opportunities was too strong to resist, and Bolick is excited to begin this new chapter in his career.
The contract also comes with a non-disclosure agreement that prevents Bolick's camp from revealing his new employers until the official team announcement. This adds an element of mystery and anticipation to the announcement, leaving fans and the media speculating about which team Bolick will be playing for in Japan.
While Bolick's PBA signing rights remain exclusively with the Batang Pier, securing a release from the team should not be a problem as he is not bound by any contract. As he embarks on this new journey, Bolick is filled with excitement, anticipation, and a hint of sadness at leaving behind a league and a country that he loves. But he knows that this is the right decision for his career, and he is determined to make the most of this opportunity and prove himself on the world stage.
Is Robert making the right decision here?
Yes. 100%! The current offer is just too high for him to even consider not saying yes. And again, Japan B.League is already on a higher level than the PBA.
