Shareef Abdur-Rahim
“It feels good. More than anything I’m just glad I don’t have to answer those questions anymore. “
“I don’t think like we ever felt like we couldn’t get it together and turn itaround. When we started playing better, I felt like we could just keep pushing and keep going and we could jump up there and get a couple of those teams. I really appreciate the guys that I play with. I know how it is playing on the other end, so this is a good team and I’m happy to be a part of it.”
“This is the reason why I signed here [with Sacramento] - to be a part of a playoff team. It was a tough year with the injuries and just how shaky we started but that’s another reason to feel good and satisfied because we fought through that little adversity.”
Mike Bibby
“It’s good to be here. I’m happy for Shareef (Abdur-Rahim). I think we’re throwing a party for him tonight. Got cake and everything. We’ve got one more game to play, so we’ll worry about [who we face in playoffs] after that game. It feels good, it always feels good to win, but, it’s not over yet.”
Bonzi Wells
“We’re happy for Shareef. I think that’s the reason he came here for. He wanted to experience something on the other side of the NBA life - winning. It’s going to be a great experience and he’s definitely going to be a big piece for us in making a run because he’s an excellent player and even an excellent person so I’m just very happy for him. We just told him we wanted to get his name off that list of being the longest active streak of a guy who’s never made it to the playoffs. His slate is clean now, now he’s a playoff guy and I know he and his family are happy.”
“I’m just happy. This is my 8th straight appearance [to the playoffs] for myself so I have never missed it. I’m definitely happy and I’m just happy to be a part of this thing we’re going through this year. It started out kind of whacky, a lot of people were down on us, and we turned this thing around so it’s time for us to make our run and I know the coaching staff is ready, and the players are ready to play and we’re starting to feel good about ourselves a little bit.”
yay! hehehe wish i could go...
GO KINGS!!!
