Winning tonight, this is just still the beginning for him.The journey’s still ongoing for Justin. This isn’t an end for him.He’sgoing toa whole new level — play internationally, play for the national team," sabi ni Cone sa panayam sa telebisyon ilang minuto matapos kamkamin ng Gin Kings ang kampeonato sa PBA Commissioner's Cup laban sa guest team Bay Area Dragons sa Philippine Arena sa Bulacan, nitong Linggo, Enero 15.
