The Gilas win was extra special for Barangay Ginebra fans as it reminds them of Justin Brownlee’s buzzer-beater shot during the PBA Governors’ Cup finals in 2016
in their Asian Games semifinal match against host China, securing the Philippines’ first medal placement in men’s basketball since 1998.
Justin Brownlee became a “national hero” for fans after he knocked in the clutch three-point shot with 24 seconds left as Gilas climbed back from 20 points down. My god. Justin Brownlee. Never say die. Philippine national hero lets goooooo. Gold medal game!! Took down hosts China on their own turf!!! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭One fan even hoped for a “Justin Brownlee statue” following the feat, with another saying that Brownlee is the “greatest import of all time.” A lot of people said you ALWAYS get the NBA player over other options.
You know that Brownlee has a record of ending title droughts in the month of October. It was also in Oct 2016 when he made that shot to help Ginebra win a title after 8 long yrs. And now poised to help Gilas win a gold this month. Book it!Others praised the work of coach Tim Cone saying he is the “best fit” and “gold standard” for the Gilas team. This contrasts with how Gilas fansCOACH TIM CONE REALLY PROVED TO US THAT HE’S THE BEST FIT COACH FOR THE NATIONAL TEAM.
