00:00We have with us his teammate, Brian Faundo, our idol in PBA, the former PBA player of Brian Faundo.

00:08Good morning, sir.

00:09Good morning.

00:10And we're very happy that you're here this morning.

00:13Yes.

00:15Sir, first of all, we want to talk about the basketball camp that you're going to facilitate.

00:23Tell us more about it.

00:24Yes, we're inviting the youth to participate in the Big Man Skills in January.

00:36I'm here with Jeff Chan.

00:40We're sharing our knowledge about basketball with the youth so that their talent can be enhanced and they can grow as players.

00:53Sir Jeff, focusing on shooting skills, what will be your focus?

00:58For me, it's more on Big Man.

01:01Maybe the modern Bigs so that we can compete in the international stage.

01:09Yes, that's right.

01:10But speaking of our modern Big Man skills, what's the difference? Can you tell us?

01:19Before, we were just more on post-players.

01:22Now, Big Man skills are being stretched, shooting outside.

01:30For example, Paparehugnata.

01:33Before, he was just more on post-players.

01:35Yes, Paparehugnata.

01:36His basketball career didn't last long because he stretched his game.

01:44Can you explain what post-players mean?

01:47For those who are not fond of basketball, post-players to modern Big Man.

01:51Our post-players are like Junmar because he's big.

01:57Our stretch Big Man are like Japheth, Troy.

02:08Our Big Man skills are more on the outside.

02:12How would you classify your skills?

02:17For me, I was a legit quarterback before.

02:21Maybe to teach me something, I should be better at times 10 than what I used to play.

02:29That's what I'll teach the younger players.

02:33That's really important.

02:34We should teach them the knowledge we've gained throughout the years.

02:39Did you do this before?

02:40Like holding a basketball camp, teaching kids on the different basketball skills?

02:45Yes, we went to clinics in other provinces.

02:49We were invited to play.

02:51After playing, we went to clinics.

02:54To be honest, this is my first time going to a camp.

02:58But I've been to a lot of clinics.

03:01What motivated you to push and teach in a basketball camp like this?

03:07My motivation was to give other kids a chance to play.

03:12So that they can use it to help their dreams and their academics.

03:24So that they can go to school and become a varsity player.

03:28So that they can balance playing and studying.

03:32You mentioned earlier that you've been to basketball clinics before.

03:40But for you, as a former PBA player and active player until now,

03:46what can you say about teaching kids and sharing the knowledge?

03:51How does it feel to be a former PBA player?

03:54Former PBA is the feeling that I have something to show.

04:00Like me or Junmar.

04:03Like the top players.

04:07When that happens, I'm one of the happy ones.

04:12Because I became a part of their career.

04:16They're just starting.

04:18How do you see yourself?

04:20Are you more of a trainer or are you more of a coach?

04:23Because there are athletes who can teach but can't coach.

04:27For now, I'm more of a trainer.

04:30Because it's like a stepping stone to become a good coach.

04:37Or someday, hopefully.

04:39Because I'm getting old.

04:45So it's about time to share our knowledge about basketball.

04:53Talking about the National Basketball League,

04:56what's our update on Brian Paundo in this league?

05:03As of now, I'm taking a break because I'm working on something.

05:07But looking forward to this coming MPBL, I'm trying to play again.

05:14You mentioned MPBL.

05:15Let's talk about your basketball journey from PBA to MPBL.

05:20Let's start with PBA.

05:22If we will look back, we will reminisce about your journey in PBA.

05:28What's the difference in your experience if you compare it to MPBL?

05:34My experience in PBA is up and down.

05:39It's like a rollercoaster.

05:40Sometimes you can use it, sometimes you can't.

05:46What's the difference when you went to MPBL?

05:49In MPBL, I had more playing time.

05:54Unlike in PBA, I think their competition is higher in PBA.

06:02Now, MPBL has been a few seasons.

06:05If my memory is correct, you were in Bulacan Cuyas.

06:10Yes, of course.

06:11Right? Your first team.

06:13I still remember that.

06:16How did you share your experiences with your teammates?

06:21Even though you're both pro-basketball players.

06:25My experience is sharing with younger players.

06:31When you do something like this, you should be more on...

06:36To inspire.

06:37Yes, to inspire.

06:38When it comes to coaching, the player should not be afraid.

06:44The coach wants to improve the player.

06:49You also mentioned that the playing time is a big difference from PBA to MPBL.

06:54And not only in a league, you can see teams with a deep roster.

07:00So, what do you say to your teammates or to young players?

07:05You know, quality minutes are not given to you.

07:09What should they feel about it?

07:12The playing time is to earn.

07:17This is called...

07:21More on...

07:26You should not stop there, whether you use it or not.

07:30You should be more enthusiastic.

07:34But Brian, I just have a question about our MPBL stint.

07:39What can you say about this?

07:41Outside of PBA, we're still able to play.

07:44We're still able to continue our career in basketball.

07:48How do you feel about that?

07:51Of course, it's still fun.

07:54It will not disappear.

07:56You mentioned that you will return to MPBL.

07:58Yes.

07:59And there are a lot of former PBA players who are still given a chance to play.

08:06You also mentioned that you're getting older.

08:09How do you maintain your physical condition in preparation for the next Pro League?

08:17Maybe more on diet.

08:20Because we really need to go on a diet.

08:23And training should be done every day.

08:26You shouldn't be on a diet.

08:29Can you tell us, Brian, who are your favorite teammates?

08:35Of course, we have a lot of former PBA players who play there.

08:40But here, do you have a favorite teammate?

08:45Your friend.

08:47Of course, the ones they call Tir-Tir-Gang.

08:52Tir-Tir-Gang?

08:54What does that mean?

08:55They say Tir-Tir-Gang.

09:00Even if the rice is cold, it's still good to eat.

09:03Who are these players?

09:06When I was in Miralco, they were Papare, Hugnatan, Gian Piriols, Joseph Sudaripa, Ken Bono, Nusa.

09:19Oh, Ken Bono and Hugnatan are still playing in MPBL.

09:23You'll see them again.

09:25I hope we'll see each other again.

09:28Those are classics.

09:30But Brian, I also want to ask you.

09:33We have a lot of questions.

09:35Who do you remember when you were still in PBA?

09:40Who are the ones you don't want to watch out for?

09:44The one I don't want to watch out for is RDO.

09:48Ranidel?

09:50Yes, Ranidel. He's really good.

09:53And Papare Hugnatan.

09:57There you go.

09:58Papare was really good in left and right at that time.

10:03Now, let's talk about challenges.

10:05What are the ones you can't forget?

10:08Let's say, memories or games or experiences as a pro player during PBA.

10:21The most memorable for you, the ones you can't forget.

10:26Maybe, the one where I didn't make it to the playoffs.

10:32That's the one that stuck with me.

10:34The one where I didn't get drafted.

10:36What year was that?

10:382009. That's the one that stuck with me.

10:40And I didn't let go of it.

10:45I still got it.

10:47How did you get it?

10:49I tried out.

10:52That's why I'm here to inspire.

10:55Because not everything is easy.

10:57The basketball career is like that.

11:01If you're gifted, it's okay.

11:06It's easier.

11:08But there are more who aren't.

11:11That's why you need to train.

11:15You work your way up.

11:17Because it's not that easy.

11:18During our time, I think I got it when I was 16.

11:23You're at the top of the competition now.

11:26And you're saying that it's not that easy to get to the PBA.

11:30So what can you say or advise to the players who are really hoping to get to the PBA?

11:42Maybe to the players who got it.

11:44To the players who got it.

11:46They still need to earn it.

11:50Even if they know that they got drafted or what.

11:54They still need to earn it.

11:56And they need to persevere.

11:58Because during our time, we got something and it didn't get signed.

12:03And for us, the undrafted, we need to go to their spot.

12:08So we need to train more.

12:11We need to be more aggressive to get there.

12:14It's a competition.

12:16But Bry, we also want to ask about this.

12:19Speaking of big men, let's talk about the upcoming big men here at the PBA.

12:24Talking about Justin Baltazar.

12:27What can you say about him getting drafted this PBA season?

12:31What can you say about Justin Baltazar joining the PBA?

12:34Maybe he'll become a superstar.

12:39Maybe next June.

12:42Because Justin is tall.

12:46He's good at dribbling.

12:48He has a shot on the outside.

12:50He can score three points.

12:52He's a partner.

12:54He's at that level.

12:56Maybe next June, we can bring him to the team.

13:03Do you think he can bring the Pampanga to the MPDL back-to-back championships?

13:08And if I'm not mistaken, two seasons ago, half of their games, he was the best player.

13:15Do you think he's ready for the PBA?

13:18Yes, because there are a lot of good picks in the MPDL.

13:24At the same time, I think he's already played in Korea.

13:27Yes.

13:29Maybe that's also his experience to play in the PBA.

13:37And he's playing well now.

13:39He's getting the rhythm.

13:43Speaking of being a former PBA player, we talked about Gianna Morris earlier.

13:53For you, Gianna Morris is your older brother.

13:57And we saw that Gianna Morris is just starting out in the PBA.

14:01What can you say about the incident that happened to Gianna Morris and her career?

14:09What happened there, I hope her patience and temper will be stronger.

14:18Because basketball is hard.

14:20Our mood is just too late.

14:25I hope that when she comes back, she won't have a hot head anymore.

14:34Because it's easy to pick her up.

14:37Just pick her up.

14:39I have a follow-up question.

14:41You mentioned that as a player, your temper is not easy to control.

14:48But when you're playing, is it easy to get cocky?

14:53How do you compose yourself in those situations?

14:55Yes, it's easy for me to get cocky when I'm playing.

14:58I said, I'm just going to play now.

15:02And I'll ruin my temper.

15:04So I'm more focused on the game.

15:06Actually, that's right.

15:08If you're a basketball player, you know the physicality.

15:12And it's a mind game.

15:13It's a mind game.

15:15Especially back then.

15:17No vlog, no call.

15:19That's how it is.

15:21So it's good to have that kind of mindset.

15:25I hope the new generation of players will fix that.

15:28It's a waste.

15:30And she has playing time.

15:32She has playing time.

15:34Let's move on.

15:36You will be holding a clinic.

15:38We'll talk about coaches.

15:40What can you say about Danay's coaching?

15:45We reached out to D.I.

15:49We reached out to Petron at that time.

15:52Maybe when Lakai was coaching,

15:57Junmar wouldn't have been there if he didn't hold Junmar at that time.

16:03Because D.I. shared his knowledge.

16:07And Junmar adapted it.

16:08Because Junmar is a very kind player.

16:12He has no hate.

16:14And he's a trippy player.

16:16He likes to be trippy.

16:18Yes.

16:20Now, they are working together.

16:22In one team, Balty and coach Danay.

16:25What do you think will help coach Danay and coach Balty?

16:30D.I. has a big factor.

16:33Maybe Junmar did something.

16:36Maybe next level is Justin Baltazar.

16:41He's a dominant player inside.

16:43He can play outside.

16:46He has a good competition.

16:48And D.I. has a big factor in Balty and Justin.

16:55Last question.

16:57Do you have a message for young athletes

17:02who want to pursue playing basketball?

17:06You can invite them for your upcoming big man basketball.

17:10To the young athletes,

17:13I hope our clinic will help them.

17:20We encourage young athletes to pursue their dreams.

17:30Thank you very much.

17:33Do you have anything else to say?

17:36I'm very thankful to Ma'am Rose.

17:41She created an organization like this in the NBL.

17:46To teach young athletes and inspire them to play.

17:50For their future.

17:52They can play as a stepping stone for their dreams.

17:58Whether it's basketball, good life, or academics.

18:03Okay.

18:04I'm excited for your upcoming camp, Bryan.

18:09And for our teammates.

18:12Wait for it.

18:14I will be very excited.

18:17Don't hesitate to register for this camp.

18:21Jeff Chan and Bryan Paulo will be with you.

18:24Thank you so much for spending this time with us.

18:28Thank you for inviting me.
