The two Fil-Ams, who were former teammates at the FiberXers squad, forged a showdown for the crown last won by Rey Guevarra in 2019 and the P30,000 prize after jointly leading the pre-finals. Murrell tallied 46 points off a 360-degree two-hander earlier in the first round, where Hill had a low 41 on his attempt at a Vince Carter elbow slam. Murell totaled 92 points to edge Tyrus Hill of Blackwater’s 91, who got a perfect 50 for easily jumping over Ginebra star Jamie Malonzo and throwing down a one-hander in the second round. The high-flying Murrell pulled off a 360-degree windmill in his final dunk, enough to tally 46 points from the five judges composed of pro league greats Allan Caidic and Noli Locsin, Passi City Mayor Stephen Palmares, PBA Press Corps president Gerry Ramos and veteran sportscaster Andy Jao in the Slam Dunk contest. PBA PHOTOĬONVERGE’S David Murrell, Paul Lee of Magnolia, and TNT’s Dave Marcelo emerged as new kings as the PBA All-Star skills events returned Friday at the City of Passi Arena in Passi City, Iloilo.
ALMOST: Blackwater’s Tyrus Hill pulls off a perfect 50-point dunk, jumping over Ginebra star Jamie Malonzo, but falls short in his duel with Converge’s David Murrell in the slam tilt last Friday.
