Brownlee smashes Strothers record in Game Two loss


LUCENA, QUEZON — The first points of Game Two of the 2019 PBA Governors’ Cup Finals between Barangay Ginebra and Meralco came courtesy of Justin Brownlee via a three-pointer.

And that triple — which he made just 54 seconds into the match — was historic.

As per the league’s stats chief Fidel Mangonon III, it was the 326th trey of his PBA career, pushing him past Lamont Strothers (325) for all-time most threes made by an import in league history.

Brownlee eventually wound up with four triples, finishing with 35 points alongside 11 rebounds. Unfortunately, though, the feat just became a mere footnote as the Gin Kings bowed to the Bolts, 102-104.

But it’s still history, no matter what. And the amount of time he needed to achieve such makes it impressive.

Strothers racked up his career triples in five years with the San Miguel Beermen, whom he helped win two PBA titles.

Brownlee, on the other hand, broke the record in just four years with the Gin Kings. His feat has proven yet again that he’s one of the best imports to ever set foot in the PBA.
