With the help of my teammates, nagtulungan talaga kami to get here para mag-champion.&quot;Brownlee, now a 5-time PBA champion and 4-time Governors&#x27; Cup titlist, said this year&#x27;s victory is special.&quot;It&#x27;s special in a lot of ways, but this was special due to the pandemic. There&#x27;s a lot of things going and for us to comeback in the Philippines and win a championship is a great feeling,&quot; said the 2-time best import awardee.It was Ginebra&#x27;s 14th PBA crown title overall, and 24th title win for coach Tim Cone.
