Career highlights and awards

College career

Najorda helped the San Sebastian Stags win their first NCAA title since 1997 in 2001.[1] They became back-to-back champions the following year.[2] In 2003, he was chosen as the NCAA's Most Valuable Player, but the Stags lost in the Finals to the Letran Knights.

In Season 80, Najorda scored 21 points as he led the Stags to their first win that season after an 0–2 start.[3] He then scored 16 points in a win over the Benilde Blazers.[4] In a crucial game against the Mapúa Cardinals, he scored 23 points, grabbed 16 rebounds, and also added two assists, three steals, and two blocks to his statline with only one turnover to lead the Stags to the top of the standings.[5] However, they then fell to fourth and in a loss to the Knights, didn't make the semifinals as the Cardinals and the San Beda Red Lions had superior quotients over the Stags.[6]

In Season 81, Najorda fired 27 points with 20 in the second half to lead the Stags to a win over the Red Lions.[7] In a game against the Perpetual Help Altas, he and his head coach Turo Valenzona were thrown out of the game for a flagrant foul on an Altas player.[8] The coach was ejected for committing his second technical foul.[9] Both were suspended for one game. In his return, he scored 14 points in a win over the Blazers.[10] He then scored 10 of his 19 points in the third quarter during a win over the JRU Heavy Bombers.[11] He scored 11 of his 23 points in the fourth quarter as the Stags secured a Final Four berth with a win over the PCU Dolphins.[12] In the Final Four, they lost once again to the Knights, falling short of the Finals once again.[13] At some point in the season, he was also suspended for three games for not informing the NCAA's ManCom that he would be applying for the draft.[14]

PBA career

Barako franchise

Najorda applied for the 2005 PBA Draft.[7] He was picked ninth overall by the Red Bull Barako, but wasn't able to join the team already due to his commitments with the Stags.[15] He was given a P3 million two-year deal by the team.[16] One of his best games in his rookie season came in a win over the Sta. Lucia Realtors in which he had 12 points.[17] That season, he took part in the Rookies vs Sophomore blitz game.[18] His team won the 2005–06 Fiesta Conference championship by beating Barangay Ginebra in seven games.[19] During the 2006 Philippine Cup, he had 21 points (which was his career-high at the time) in a win over Ginebra.[20] He was also made a member of the 2006 PBA All-Rookie Team.[21]

Najorda took part in the 2007 Rookies vs Sophomore blitz game, this time as a sophomore during the 2007 All-Star Weekend.[22] He made four three-pointers in a win over the Alaska Aces during the 2007 PBA Fiesta Conference.[23] In a playoff loss to the Talk 'N Text Tropang Texters, he had 16 points.[24] At the end of the season, he was given a new two-year deal.[25]

During the 2007–08 Philippine Cup, Najorda scored 10 points in a win over the Purefoods Tender Juicy Giants.[26] He then scored eight of his 17 points in the third quarter to lead a Red Bull breakaway and rout to a 107–95 win over the Magnolia Beverage Masters.[27] He also contributed to Red Bull's 18 three-point makes over the Welcoat Dragons during the 2008 Fiesta Conference.[28] In that conference, he helped Red Bull claim third place by scoring 22 points in a third place playoff game against Magnolia.[29] In the following conferences however, the team would always finish last, especially during the 2008–09 season.[30]

Najorda scored 14 points in a win over the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters during the 2009–10 PBA Philippine Cup.[31] He then had 21 points and eight rebounds off the bench in a win over the Tropang Texters to break an 11-game losing streak.[32] Once again though, they finished dead last in the standings.[30] In the first game of the following conference, the 2010 Fiesta Conference, he scored 12 points in a win over Sta. Lucia. He then scored a PBA career-high 25 points in a loss to the B-Meg Derby Ace Llamados.[33][34] Against Alaska, he shot 7-of-11 from the floor to finish with 18 points to lead the locals in scoring and get just their second win of the conference.[35] He scored 18 again against the Air21 Express, but this time they lost.[36]

Air 21 Express / Barako Bull Energy Cola

Towards the end of the elimination round of the 2010 Fiesta Conference, Najorda was traded for Richard Yee to the Air21 Express, in time for the wildcard phase.[37] In the wildcard phase, Air21 lost to Rain or Shine.[38]

In his first full season with Air21, Najorda averaged just five points and two rebounds.[34] During his second season with the team (now renamed as the Barako Bull Energy Cola), he scored 12 points in a win over the Shopinas.com Clickers.[39] Later that season, he had 13 points in a loss to B-Meg.[40] He averaged 7.6 points a game in his last season with the team before being traded.[41]

San Mig Coffee Mixers

In 2013, Najorda was part of a five-team, ten player trade that sent him to the San Mig Coffee Mixers.[41] He was part of the team that won the 2013 Governors' Cup, even though he rarely played.[42]

2013–14 season

Two days after the 2013 PBA Draft, Najorda and Mixers draft pick Justin Chua were traded to the GlobalPort Batang Pier for Batang Pier draft pick Isaac Holstein.[43] Several months later, he was traded back to the Barako Bull Energy Cola.[44] In a game against the San Miguel Beermen, he made a clutch four-point play and finished with 12 points, but Barako lost that game in overtime.[45]

He bounced back with a double-double of 22 points and 12 rebounds over the Marikina Shoemasters.[55] He was chosen to take part in the MPBL's first-ever All-Star Game.[56] The Tigers made it all the way to the finals, where they lost to the San Juan Knights in five games.[57]
