Ginebra rising star Jamie Malonzo is raring for more success after earning his first PBA title with the Gin Kings – capped off by a 22-point, 17-rebound Commissioner's Cup finals Game 7 masterpiece.
MANILA, Philippines – Jamie Malonzo quickly proved that his trade to Barangay Ginebra was a match made in heaven as he helped the Gin Kings win the 2022 PBA Commissioner’s Cup title after a seven-game battle against the Bay Area Dragons.
Despite having off nights expected from a second-year player, the 26-year-old high-flyer showed up when it mattered most and capped off the conference with a 22-point, 17-rebound eruption in the title-clinching Game 7 in front of 54,589 fans at the Philippine Arena. “First conference is just scratching the surface together. For sure, I left it all on the line tonight. Game 7 in my first finals so I just want to get the job done. I was telling my teammates, ‘Anything we got to do to win,'” said the former one-and-done La Salle recruit.
Seen by many as the successor to the uber-athletic, yet aging and ailing Japeth Aguilar, Malonzo will have some big shoes to fill as he continues to play for the PBA’s most popular team and second-winningest franchise behind San Miguel.
