The basketball world is buzzing with speculation, and one of the country’s most respected coaches just added more heat to the conversation.
In an exclusive with Abante Sports Now, Coach Chot Reyes said the potential pairing of Justin Brownlee and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson in the East Asia Super League (EASL) would be nothing short of a “game-changing impact.”
Brownlee, the longtime Barangay Ginebra hero and Gilas Pilipinas’ most reliable naturalized star, has repeatedly proven his clutch pedigree on the international stage.
Hollis-Jefferson, meanwhile, powered TNT Tropang Giga to back-to-back titles, displaying all-around dominance against Asia’s best.
Reyes knows exactly what both imports bring to the table—he coached RHJ during TNT’s title runs and Brownlee in crucial Gilas windows, making him one of the rare few who has seen them both up close.
If Meralco succeeds in pulling off this blockbuster partnership, Reyes said they (Meralco) won’t just be adding talent — they’d be unleashing two proven winners with international experience and relentless competitive fire.
The EASL tips off October 22, with Meralco set to battle Japan’s Ryukyu Golden Kings—possibly giving fans the first look at the league’s most hyped tandem of the offseason.
