Robert Jason Wainright III
Cebu Gems

One of the nicest players of Cebu Gems who doesn’t only like basketball but baseball as well. Cebu Gems small forward and power forward Robert Jason Wainright III is the Michael Jordan of MBA.

Born on Dec. 27, 1973 at California, USA, "Opaw" as he is fondly call by his teammates stands 6’5" tall and weighs 200 lb. The only child of Mr. Robert Wainright II, a head construction worker in California and Mrs. Carmen Wainright, a social worker, "Opaw" also loves music and computer graphics.

He spent half of his life in California before coming in the Philippines to play basketball. Rob is proud to be a father of two daughters whom he considers as his greatest gift in life. Rob believes that whatever he do, regarding how small it is, he will do his best as long as it will do good for everybody. By this, he considers it as his guiding principle in life. Rob used to play a small Fil-Am League in the USA and here in the Philippines, through this he was discovered by a sport-scout.

Rob performed 100% of an endless array of mind-boggling, breath-taking feats on the hardcourt to erase any doubt that he is the greatest basketball player of Cebu Gems.

A very fun-loving man, Rob’s advice to teenagers who like to play basketball is never give up, keep on trying and with God’s will you will be successful. With his height, skill, determination and sensibility, he has the right to dream of being able to play pro. "Opaw" or Rob’s smile brings Cebu Gems to cloud nine because all his qualities are an epitome of a true player. Truly, a person worth to be treasured.
