REGULAR players shrink at the thought of taking a no-relief job and playing through boos from a large group of spectators.
But TNT's Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is no ordinary player.
RHJ saw action for the entire 48 minutes of Games 2 and 3 and neither complained nor showed signs of slowing down.
Asked how he felt after back-to-back marathon duties, Hollis Jefferson said: "The same as every other game."
Because he was the biggest thorn on Barangay Ginebra's side in the PBA Season 49 Governors' Cup finals, the Gin King's hordes of supporters reserved their loudest jeers and boos for Hollis-Jefferson.

Let them come.
"Not much to talk about. They pay money to come watch us play; they decide to boo, I love it. That means they get their money's worth and I love it," he said.
"At the end of the day, it's just fuel for me, I look forward to the next game and the next opportunity. That just gives me energy. It feels good," he added.
The Season 47 Governors Cup Best Import and champion gave credit to Ginebra's adjustment in Game 3 that led to a 2-1 series.

"At the end of the day, that's what this is about - making adjustments knowing what the other team will do and just making those adjustments and just executing. They played hard, too, so give them credit for that." (OL)
