SHORTLY after winning yet another PBA championship with Barangay Ginebra, Jammer Jamito found a new home for the season-ending Governors Cup.
The seldom-used wingman out of St. Clare and has been picked up by the Bolts from the unrestricted free agent list in time for their conference debut against Columbian Dyip on Friday at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.
Only last week, the native of Basud, Camarines Norte was part of the Ginebra team which dethroned San Miguel Beer to win the Commissioner’s Cup crown. It was his second league title with the Kings after being a member of the team which retained the Governors Cup crown last season.
Jamito, who turns 28 on Sept. 1, was a second-round pick (No. 15 overall) by Ginebra during the 2016 draft. He hardly got playing time with the Kings though, in a two-year stint that will be best remembered for his ‘sidestep’ dunk' during the slam contest of the 2017 All-Star weekend that went viral on social media - and nearly got him into trouble with former league commissioner Chito Narvasa.
