Mike Bibby scored 40 points, Kenny Thomas had six points in overtime to cap his first career triple-double , and the Kings overcame Bryant's 51-point performance for a 118-109 victory Thursday night. Now I know how it feels when that old dude told those idiots that the world was round and he kept getting crap for it.
Olympic gold medal champion Shareef Abdur-Rahim makes heroic return to Kings... _______________ Abdur-Rahim returns to Kings with jaw wired shut SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Forward Shareef Abdur-Rahim was back in uniform for the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night, making an improbably quick return to action with his broken jaw still wired shut. "What am I waiting for?" Abdur-Rahim asked through clenched teeth before the game. "I feel good, and I've just got to see what I feel like in a game. There's no way to know in practice until I get out there and get going. I want to help the guys." But Abdur-Rahim's courageous return clearly energized his teammates, who appreciated the veteran's willingness to play through pain and the breathing discomfort caused by his wired jaw. "He's got a big heart," Kings guard Kevin Martin said. "(Abdur-Rahim) just wants to play. It's a tough injury, but we're glad to see him out there." Abdur-Rahim has lost about 8 pounds on his liquid diet since his injury, and the wires won't come out for three more weeks. But running on a treadmill and in practice convinced him that he'll be strong enough to compete -- and that he'll be able to breathe. "I can get out there and run and shoot, so I'm not worried about it," Abdur-Rahim said. "If I can breathe, I'll be fine." link Children love SAR
Olympic gold medalist Shareef Abdur-Rahim is not interested in personal numbers ~ only the good of the team. "Shareef is a fine young player who can add energy to the team and also help us at the small forward and power forward," said USA head mentor Rudy Tomjanovich.
looks like he plays for 'SA' instead of USA. he also looks confused on the court with that 'hey we're really winning?' look.
Please list world or olympic championship teams the great Kenny Thomas has been a part of Tinman. I shall provide you with an advanced and heartfelt thank-you while I wait.

Very good Tinman - the great Kenny T does indeed have a world university championship. Not quite the weight of the Olympics, but certainly not an achievement to be completely scoffed at ~ in fact the university gold is almost as good as SAR's first (or was that his 2nd) World Championship gold. _____________ The USA has not won Olympic Gold since Shareef Abdur-Rahim left the team.
Too bad SAR wont make the playoffs again, its kind of hard to tank a team that always makes the playoffs. Even with KT on that team. Shareef=Iceberg Kings=Titantic KT=Leonardo di Caprio (the hero)
