For someone who came in as a replacement import six years ago, no one imagined Justin Brownlee would go on and carve his own name in the annals of not just the PBA, but also the Philippine basketball historyNot even Ginebra head coach Tim Cone – the very same coach who scouted and brought him in to play in the country – could predict that his “panic get” to replace then injured Kings import Paul Harris would blossom into the Brownlee that everyone knows of right now — a five-time PBA champion,...
“It was kind of a ‘panic get’ because we need someone today and it wasn’t like we have two three weeks to negotiate, it was a little bit of a ‘panic get’ so I have no idea he was gonna be this good,” added the veteran coach. “The thing that’s striking about him is that he’s a completely different player now than he was when he had his first game… he didn’t look like the way he looks now. He was a big body and if I may say, chubby but he was a stretch four,” recalled the multi-titled mentor.
And on his way to adapting to the Filipino brand of play, Brownlee has written his name to the league’s history books after joining an elite company of PBA imports in the scoring lists in Norman Black , the late Bobby Parks , Sean Chambers , and also the late Lew Massey , according to league stats chief Fidel Mangonon III.
