This Day in PBA History: Justin Brownlee sinks ‘the Shot’

The shot that made Justin Brownlee iconic and ended Barangay Ginebra San Miguel's 7-year title drought happened on this day, October 19, five years ago, as the Gin Kings closed out what was considered one of the most epic finales in PBA history.

Brownlee was so great he became one of the resident reinforcements in the PBA, and one of the all-time favorites of Tim Cone as the import has drawn comparison to another great reinforcement who gave the American mentor multiple championships while playing for the Alaska franchise, Sean Chambers. "They put their teammates first, before them, which is very rare amongst imports. Imports come in and feel they need to perform. They've got to carry the team, they've got to put the numbers," said Cone.

"Aside from the fact on what he does on the floor -- he rebounds, he blocks shots, he dishes out assists, he drives to the basket, he makes pull ups, I mean, what doesn't he do? He does it all in big moments," said Cone. "Obviously, "The Shot" where he hit the three-pointer over Allen Durham was such an epitome of him, he does that in all the four years he's been with us. All the time.
