Jonas Villanueva was surprised to face stiff competition in the PBA Obstacle Challenge from unlikely rivals Chris Ellis of Barangay Ginebra San Miguel and Pamboy Raymundo of Talk ‘N Text.
But Villanueva, the winner of the past three editions of the event banked on his experience to prevail over his counterparts.
Villanueva registered a time of 26.3 seconds to upend his surprise finals rivals.
3-POINT SHOOT-OUT. A morning shootaround proved enough for Rain or Shine rookie Chris Tiu to rediscover his shooting touch and become the PBA’s three-point king.
Tiu defeated KG Canaleta of Air 21 and JVee Casio of Alaska in the finals of the competition to become the first rookie since Jimmy Alapag to win the three-point contest.
SLAM DUNK COMPETITION. As expected, Barangay Ginebra San Miguel rookie Chris Ellis won the PBA slam dunk title, but not before a challenge from teammate Elmer Espiritu.
Apart from winning his first dunk crown, Ellis was able to pay tribute to PBA legend and Ginebra team manager Samboy Lim, who he considers his mentor.
Ellis named his first dunk the Skywalker, in honor of the high-flying San Miguel legend. That slam earned Ellis 50 points from the judges.
He continued his dominance in the second round, scoring another perfect 50.
But Ellis looked like his bid was in trouble in the finals, after scoring just 44 points on his first jam. That was one point below Espiritu’s first dunk in the final round.
