ROBERT Bolick never had it this good.
Making a strong case for a roster spot with Gilas Pilipinas in the coming Asian Games, Bolick likewise renewed his contract with the Road Warriors on Wednesday.
Team governor Ronald Dulatre confirmed the signing of the prolific point guard amid his busy schedule practicing with the national team bound for the 20th edition of the quadrennial showcase in Nagoya, Japan.
The new deal was good for three more years.
"Excited for the road ahead," said the 30-year-old native of Leyte on his Instagram post. "Signing this contract is more than just paperwork. It's a testament of my hardwork, determination, grit, and commitment to the team."
No less than NLEX President and General Manager Luis Renon was present for the contract signing of the player deemed to be the franchise's heart and soul.
Dulatre was also around along, with Road Warriors head coach Jimmy Alapag.
Bolick was with his representative Marvin Espiritu of the Espiritu Manotoc Basketball Management (EMBM).
Berto's road to the Warriors
The former PBA scoring champion was acquired by NLEX in a three-team trade with NorthPort (now Titan Ultra) and San Miguel in 2023 in a deal that also involved players such as Don Trollano and Kris Rosales.
He was then immediately signed by the Road Warriors to a three-year contract in an effort to build the team's foundation upon the three-time NCAA champion (San Beda) and one-time UAAP titlist (La Salle).
Bolick has since become the face of NLEX, even now when Alapag came in to assume the head coaching job.
In the current Season 50 Governors' Cup, the top gun is averaging 17.6 points (tops among NLEX locals), 5.7 rebounds, and a league-best 7.5 assists.
