Justin Brownlee says he is happy for Gilas Pilipinas as it competes in the FIBA World Cup with a 'special talent' like NBA veteran Jordan Clarkson
Brownlee said he is pulling for Jordan Clarkson and the national team in the FIBA World Cup despite losing the naturalized player spot to the NBA veteran.
“For me, obviously, it would have been a dream come true for me to play in the World Cup, especially playing with the Philippines,” he added. “I’m all for the bigger picture. This program is definitely not about me.” The three-time PBA Best Import, who started his career in the country in 2016, has been training with the national team even before hisBrownlee debuted for the Philippines in the sixth and final window of the Asian Qualifiers a month after and helped the squad reclaim the gold medal in the Southeast Asian Games in Phnom Penh, Cambodia in May.
“I understand that. I’m just grateful for the opportunity that I can help make the team better and help with whatever I can help with to push the team forward,” said Brownlee.
