The newly crowned TNT Tropang Giga, overflowing with gratitude and pride, shared their heartfelt emotions after successfully defending their PBA Governors' Cup title against Barangay Ginebra San Miguel.
The TNT Tropang Giga’s journey to back-to-back Governors’ Cup championships is not just a story of triumph, but one of resilience, gratitude, and unwavering determination.
Their 4-2 victory over Barangay Ginebra San Miguel in this year’s Finals is more than just another title—it’s a testament to the power of teamwork, belief, and the drive to overcome adversity.
After clinching the win, the Tropang Giga poured their hearts out on social media, sharing the deep gratitude they felt for the team, the fans, and the unforgettable journey they had just experienced.
TNT's super import, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, was particularly emotional, reflecting on the monumental achievement that secured his team’s back-to-back championship.
While his NBA dreams remain alive, for Hollis-Jefferson, this championship moment was about more than personal glory. It was about celebrating this hard-earned victory with his teammates and cherishing the experience of winning together.
For Roger Pogoy, the journey to this title was nothing short of miraculous. After being diagnosed with myocarditis and told to rest for six months, his basketball career hung in the balance.
Yet Pogoy's unwavering passion for the game fueled his remarkable comeback. Just a year after the diagnosis, Pogoy was celebrating his third PBA championship as part of the TNT Tropang Giga, having helped deliver the victory in a dominant 4-2 series win over Ginebra.
His story serves as a powerful reminder that sometimes, our greatest challenges lead us to our most meaningful triumphs.
Veteran Kelly Williams has shown that age is no barrier to greatness—rather, it’s the wisdom and experience gained over the years that fuels even greater success.
Williams, now a three-time champion, expressed his immense gratitude in a heartfelt Instagram post.
“I can’t find the words other than WE DID IT!! 🏆 Beyond grateful for this team🙏🏼 Thank you to everyone who stood with us. Respect to the GSM org & fanbase, as well as the PBA & all its fans.”
With age comes perspective, and for Williams, this victory was as much about the journey as it was about the destination.
For Poy Erram, the road to this championship was a deeply personal one. After a painful and long recovery from an MCL tear and bone spurs, he was seriously considering walking away from the game.
But with the support of his family, Coach Chot Reyes, and his teammates, Erram chose to fight through the pain. And in the end, his decision paid off, as he played a vital role in helping his team achieve this incredible feat.
“I give God all the glory,” he wrote on Instagram.
This back-to-back championship win is more than just a collection of individual moments; it’s a story of collective perseverance, faith, and gratitude. From Hollis-Jefferson’s leadership to Pogoy’s miraculous comeback, from Williams’ seasoned wisdom to Erram’s resilient spirit—each player’s journey is a testament to the power of believing in oneself and in one’s teammates.
This victory isn’t just about trophies—it’s about the heart and soul that each player put into making this dream a reality.
