From favorite Filipino food to his best moment in the PBA, Barangay Ginebra’s Justin Brownlee gamely answered fan questions during Reddit's Ask Me Anything (AMA) on r/SportsPH initiated by One Sports.

Brownlee shared his answers on all things PBA and even some questions about his experience in the Philippines.

Here are some of JB’s answers.

After retirement in basketball, do you plan to live in the Philippines? Do you want to be a coach someday?

Both. If the opportunity presents itself, I would love to for sure.

Do you still have the Jordan 12 Gym Red shoes that you wore during the iconic game-winning buzzer-beater in Game 6 of the 2016 Governor's Cup?

I already gave it to Junjun. I think he still has them.

Can you give us tips on how to perform better during crunch time or pressure-packed situations? You just seem so cool when Ginebra's backs are against the wall, how do you do it?

Focus on breathing and relaxing.

Who are the top 3 PBA imports that are the hardest to guard, in your opinion?

Rondae. Allen Durham. Terrence Jones.

 

Meanwhile, here are some what if questions answered by Brownlee.

Name a former/retired player that you wish you could play together on Gilas national team if given the chance.

Jimmy Alapag.

Who do you consider is the best Filipino player you've ever played with or against?

June Mar. That's easy.

What if you were given a chance to play other PBA Team (except Ginebra) as import, what it will be?

Probably San Miguel.

Which is better? Sinigang or Adobo?

Adobo. I eat adobo a lot. I ate adobo the past two days.

What was your first impression of the Philippines when you came for the first time?

I didn't know the city would be this huge and beautiful.

And for those wondering.

May extra ticket ka for Game 2? Hehehehe.

Wala na. :)
