In my case, I
watched their season-opener with a clean slate.(last All-filpino cup) I knew nothing about Chris
Ellis.But I guess
it puts me in a better position to say how Chris is faring in the big league.
Cause I have no background whatsoever until that first game, when I frantically
went over the internet searching about this unknown high-flying player .But Now I'm such a HUGE fan.
I remember
watching videos of the Rookie Draft and I saw that genuine smile on Chris’ face
when he came to Magoo Marjon for an interview. Magoo even shared in an episode of
FTW Sports that Chris was ecstatic when he went down after the photo-ops. He
said this team was where he wanted to be in. And to quote Magoo “This guy will
die for your team.” And true enough, with what Chris is showing in every game,
he will do anything and everything to bring a Championship to this
‘organization.’
when ever i
go to GINEBRA PRACTICE men this man is a "workhorse" always practicng
his shooting after the drills and very perssitent in his role and have goal in
life. (he wants to play on NBA) he mention it on FTW guesting ,This man of
pure heart, humility and talent. I know he’ll go a long way. Maybe he’ll even
reach his dream of playing in the NBA, which isn’t impossible with his skills
set. i just see the passion in him even though he always say that his just a "rookie" after losing a game and commit a variuos fouls ( i was remember his almost foul out after the 3rd q , last conference i don't much remember).
talking about
"fast break & slam " who
else. his first slam and jam was againts
meralco bolts over mac mac cardona. talk about being posterized over Mick Pennisi (barako bull) ,how about putting an exclamation point last conference againts
Rain or Shine Elasto Painters , and don't forget the present Manila Classico
this conference (san mig cofee mixers vs BGSM )
The steal ,chase and Dunk to Alex Malliari.
Other say’s Elmer’s Dunk was the best others calvin's and Ellis is just a “Crowed favorite one” For me , both are hard and the best but I think It add more points if everyone could see your Passion and determination to do the Dunk. no doubt why so many girls Loves him so much.specially when his rising above the mid air!
CHRIS ELLS FIRST DUNK
SKYWALKER DUNK
THROW DOWN DUNK (FINAL DUNK)

Ellis became
the fifth rookie player to win the Slam Dunk contest, joining Vergel Meneses
(1992), Joey Mente (2001), Brandon Cablay (2003) and Rain or Shine's Gabe
Norwood (2009). Ellis pocketed P20,000 for winning the event.
was actually
behind by a point after the first round of the finals - 45-44 - as it took him
four tries before he finally completed his attempt - a reverse windmill dunk
from the baseline.
In that play,
San Mig Coffee's Mark Barroca threw the ball from the lower box section to the
court intended for Espiritu but the 6-foot-4 forward failed to execute the trick
after several tries.
The final
dunk of Ellis, which merited 49 points from the judges, including Davao del Sur
Governor Douglas Cagas, was assisted by Meralco's Cliff Hodge, whose lob pass
under the basket was caught by Ellis in mid-air.
To the delight
of the crowd, Ellis threw down the ball with his right arm nearly inside the
basket.
"It was
fun competing against these guys. I'm just happy to win it," said the soft
spoken Ellis, who had two perfect dunks in the eliminations - the cradle dunk
popularized by Michael Jordan and a bounce to the backboard windmill.
