Javee Mocon's elder brother joins list of PBA aspirants

JAVEE and Kenneth Mocon could be the 39th sibling to play in Asia's first play for pay league.

That's if Javee's elder brother will be selected in the PBA Draft set on March 14.

Kenneth, who had brief stint with Wang's Basketball in the PBA D-League, said he is proud the way Javee's PBA career is going with Rain or Shine and hopes to follow in his footstep.

The elder Mocon submitted his application on Tuesday.

The 5-foot-10 guard made a name for himself in the MPBL while playing for the Davao Occidental Tigers.

"I just want to prove that I can play in the PBA and hopefully, become the best," Kenneth said. "Hindi siya yabang. Mangangarap ka na rin lang, why not dream big, hindi ba?"

If he is lucky enough to get drafted, Kenneth wants to play alongside his brother at Rain or Shine.

"The reason why gusto kong makasama yung brother ko is not just because of the opportunity of playing with him, but the familiarity with the system. Kasi yung coach ko sa MPBL, si Coach Don Dulay, naging member rin siya ng coaching staff ng Rain or Shine, so practically medyo may idea ako sa system nila. If hindi naman sa Rain or Shine, gusto ko makapaglaro sa NLEX under coach Yeng Guiao," he added. (RJ)
