CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

The legendary Ronaldson is one of only two players to play 600 matches in the NBL and will eclipse Andrew Gaze’s NBL record of 612 games early this season, his 20th in the league, having made his debut in 1990. The 203cm centre/forward has played 604 matches and scored 9434 points (at 15.61 ppg), appearing in seven NBL Grand Finals and being part of two Championship-winning teams in 1992 and 1996. No player has won more NBL matches than “Bear”, a former Australian Boomer, double Olympian and a gold medallist at the 2006 Commonwealth Games. Adelaide-born, he is renowned as one of the game’s great ironmen, having missed only 15 matches due to injury in 19 NBL seasons, including a run of 324 consecutive games.

OTHER INFORMATION

Great under the basket, a gun three-point shooter and a smart defender, the 36-year-old’s leadership and experience is proving invaluable at the Breakers, where he laid on the most assists in his first season – 3.8 per game, more than one assist per match higher than his career average.
