We are the Champions of the World!

Posted on May 19, 2009 7:31 AM

It truly was a greatest weekend in Kings Basketball! The Kings of Basketball showed why we were the best Team in the BJ League from Start to finish. Even when we were down by 17 points in the Semi-final game our Team never stopped believing in each other from the Coaching Staff to each and every last player on the bench. Heart! The true meaning of this word in Basketball was shown by all of our players as we showed the whole world that we will fight until the end and we did just that in both games to defeat Osaka and Tokyo.

This Championship was not only the great work of just the players but the whole Organization, from the Front office staff to the Coaching Staff to each every player throughout the season working together to bring the BJ League title to Okinawa.

Great job to Coach Dai, the leader of us all, Coach Mu, Team Manager Atsuro Nakamura, Coach Hide and Team Trainer Ryoko Shiroma. The whole Coaching staff worked hard all year to keep the Players focused and prepared to play at the highest level we could play as a Team.

Thanks to all of the fans who came to Tokyo to support us and to all of the fans in Okinawa who supported us all season. Without the great fan support we could not have been this successful.

THANKS TO THE GREATEST FANS IN THE WORLD!!!

Look forward to seeing you all at the Team party this Saturday May 23rd at Saicolo in Naha.
