THERE is no such thing as 'too busy' not to make time for a reunion with an old pal.
At least for Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, who made sure to be present in the New Taipei Kings-Meralco Bolts faceoff in the EASL 2023-24 season at the PhilSports Arena, on Wednesday night.
The injured TNT KaTropa import joined the star-studded crowd for one reason: to show his support for his former Brooklyn Nets teammate and pal, Jeremy Lin.
"First thing I told him when I saw him today, I told him I love him... That's it," Hollis-Jefferson told SPIN.ph.
The two played together for two seasons with the Brooklyn Nets in 2017 to 2018.
While it's a reunion, RHJ shared they never lost connection throughout the years.
"He's like my best friend... we're very close, and I was very intent on getting to know him as a person, we spent a lot of time together," he continued.
Rondae also bared that this friendship helped them have a smooth connection back when they played together.
"Talking about a lot of things, just spending time together, we strengthened our bond off the court so we could be better on the court," he added.
And when he found out he's visiting Manila, RHJ shared he made sure to book his night.
"I immediately called him, and told him 'Yeah man, I'll be there, I'll watch you, and we're going to dinner after," he added.
