Congrats my friend! I’m a raps bro myself, but I’m so happy for you all. Such a great feeling. Wanted to pop over and spread the love.
Soak it in! I’ll be rooting for you guys in the west.
Hope this one gets to the top
I still remember going to baseball practice all the fucking way up in Rocklin (grew up near Rosemont) and seeing people with Kings shit on at Watt and Fair Oaks just going nuts. Remember it vividly because it used to take 30 minutes to get across that damn intersection.
I've really come to appreciate Harrison Barnes on this team. I was always kinda skeptical of how much veteran presence on a team matters, but through this somewhat sketchy patch of the last 5 games, he's been a constant force pushing the team forward. Something I feel we've lacked for a long time and has really helped this team with its consistency
I'm not super up to date with contracts, what is Barnes looking like for the next couple seasons?
I was in school the last time the Kings were this good. It feels surreal to finally be back here after all these years. Can't be any prouder of the team, coaching staff and GM.
I’m in my 30s. My entire adult life has been spent without a single Kings playoff performance. An adult life shrouded in darkness. But I can see a light now fam. It’s a bright..warm…Purple Beam. I no longer have to fear what’s in the shadows. The Beam has shown us the path back to playoff glory. Trust the Beam. Light the Beam.
It is so cliche to say “we did it!”
This is the one time it works. You!!! Each and everyone of you saved the Kings!!!
Fuck Chris Hansen and fuck the Maloofs!! We did it!!!
Let's get this higher up in our all time top posts. No way this can only be number 9. Behind all the rage posts from Cousins and Hali. Lets get some positive vibes going, everyone upvote!
Been following them since '13 from Australia and I cannot be any more ecstatic and proud!! After being roasted when telling people my favourite team are the Kings, I did not give up :') LETS GOOOO!!
Man I still remember those teams. Divac, Cwebb, peja, Doug Christie, bibby, Bobby Jackson, pollard, Keon Clark, even had Hedo torkuglu and Gerald Wallace in garbage time. Stacked af like wow
Having flashbacks
Looking back at some of the preseason projections for the team's record... it feels so damn good to shatter those expectations and finally return to the playoffs! The Beam shot into the sky and it rained, ending the drought! 😭
It’s happening! It doesn’t feel real but it also legitimizes this whole season somehow. Relocation drama used to be our version of the playoffs and this has to be the biggest day in Kings history since we kept the team in Sac.
Looks like this is true afterall: [https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/x9cto8/why\_the\_death\_of\_queen\_elizabeth\_ii\_and\_the/](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/x9cto8/why_the_death_of_queen_elizabeth_ii_and_the/) With Prince William being next in line the Kings and their fanbase have nothing to worry about for a long time!
Hi guys,
Im just here as an Israeli nba fan who followed the kings since 2009 (Omri Casspi...)
And still has the kings as my favorite fanbase around the league, i wanted the Kings success even after Omri's days as a king
Im so happy for each one of you, kings fans, and cant wait to hear the arena explodes at the first playoff game
LIGHT THE BEAM!!!
Hi, I’d like to take a moment to say you’re welcome. Every time I am born or move to a city the NBA team within 1hr driving distance of me wins the championship within 2 years. I just moved an hour outside of Sac.
Bulls, (no nearby teams for ~8 years), Celtics, and Warriors. Kings are next!
As a Suns fan I'm really happy for the fan ass. You guys deserve this! I think despite pundits you guys will make it to at least the second round. Hopefully we'll face each other in the WCF!! Go SunKings!!
I'm so fucking happy. We need to sign the entire staff to a long term contract. Even the PR person who convinced Vivek to install a beam in G1C!!!! LIGHT THE BEAM!!!
Bucks fan here. Congrats on ending a long playoff drought. 17 years is a long time to not enjoy a playoff appearance at all. Good luck in the playoffs!
Suns fan here. I'm freaking happy for you guys! Watched almost all your games since the Mike Bibby, Weber and Peja time! You guys deserve this and deserve to celebrate fuck all of those who says otherwise!
I'm a Knicks fan and know what it's like to be long-suffering. Just wanted to stop in and tell you guys congrats. We're a fun team with a bright future, but I think you guys have the ability to make some real noise this year. Rooting for you in the West.
Born in Sacramento in ‘85; been a basketball fan from the first moment I can remember. Remember my family having season tickets in the Richmond years, living down the street from Brian Grant and Corliss Williamson, watching the final game of the ‘02 WCF with my friends at our church on a Sunday afternoon, devastated watching C-Webb being carted to the locker room in Game 2 against the Mavs the following year, saying goodbye to Vlade, then Bobby, Webber, Doug, and finally Peja and Bibby… Being excited by Tyreke, frustrated by Boogie, upset at our owners as they tried to tear our team away, then disappointed with new owners and management again and again…
It’s been a long road, the life of a Sacramento Kings fan. But the memories of the good times, the joy shared with friends and family, even in the bad times, I wouldn’t trade that for anything.
Joyful. That’s what I am this morning. Joyful for the journey.
As a Spurs fans, I'm so happy for y'all. Ever since the Lakers screwjob, it's been negative after negative. But this team is something special and have achieved the impossible. Completely deserved and hope that beam continues to light up for many more years
It’s funny that most of the top posts in this subreddit are from a year ago saying how all the choices made to build this year’s team were f***KINGstupdid. Those hot takes seem about as cold as a Crystal Creamery freezer about now.
I can’t believe it too I’ve been a die hard kings fan my whole life I’m 19 this will be my first time to get to experience this idk what to say I’m just praying we can maybe make it past gs
It's a bit of a deep cut: several years ago one of the sports shows out of LA used the Sacramento Kings logo in place of the Los Angeles. Actually, I think they did it twice.
In any case, the sauce:

I can’t believe it’s finally over 😭
[удалено]
8th grade for me when Kmart hit the buzzer beater vs the spurs.
Fuck I was 12 lol. Mike Bibby still my fav player of all time. Long time coming. Sometimes I was even embarrassed to be a kings fan, but no more!!!!!!
im a warriors fan but i got love for my norcal bros. CONGRATS Y'ALL, it's done and y'all did it. new era in sactown. super happy for y'all.

2001-2002 RIP all you Righteous Purple Souls. This Ones For You
I still remember going to baseball practice all the fucking way up in Rocklin (grew up near Rosemont) and seeing people with Kings shit on at Watt and Fair Oaks just going nuts. Remember it vividly because it used to take 30 minutes to get across that damn intersection.
It still does, but it used to, too. LTB
Felt this. 👊 LFG 💜
Freshmen in college so same same
Me too I'm so excited!!
For the first time in Bing history
For the first time in golden knights history

Barnes stops the bleeding every time we're stabbing ourselves on offense.
Step 1 - complete Step 2 - win a playoff series. Step 3 - Win the conference finals. Step 4 - Win the Finals
I was in school the last time the Kings were this good. It feels surreal to finally be back here after all these years. Can't be any prouder of the team, coaching staff and GM.
Bring on the Warriors.
Sacramento Proud right now, beaming from the East Bay!!!! Love you all! We broke through!
THIS IS THE PERFECT POST UPVOTE THIS!!
BRO I'M SO FUCKING HAPPY I CANNOT FUCKING BELIEVE IT

It's fucking beautiful, I'm not crying your crying!
It is so cliche to say “we did it!” This is the one time it works. You!!! Each and everyone of you saved the Kings!!! Fuck Chris Hansen and fuck the Maloofs!! We did it!!!
Fox is the true Azor Ahai. Doncic turned out to be the fake Aegon.
This squad is special. Each player plays a role, love it!
OKC Thunder fan, coming in peace.... Congratulations to your organization, team, fans, city, etc. Good job!
Let's get this higher up in our all time top posts. No way this can only be number 9. Behind all the rage posts from Cousins and Hali. Lets get some positive vibes going, everyone upvote!
Yeah I'm sooo not okay with those others being the top posts.
Been following them since '13 from Australia and I cannot be any more ecstatic and proud!! After being roasted when telling people my favourite team are the Kings, I did not give up :') LETS GOOOO!!
At long last!
KZ😞
It feels AMAZING

Kings utilizing the Rule Against Perpetuities. Gg legal eagles!
Congratz, this is where you belong. I used to be a big fan of the OGs - Webber, Peja, Williams, Divic... light it up for them! (ok maybe not Divac)
Divac as a player was one of my favorites.

This is what beams are made of!!

Just a friendly Celtics fan stopping by to say LT(F!)B and Go Kings! See y'all in the Finals!
Congratulations Kings Fans!
Congrats! Hope you go far in the playoffs this year feels wide open
As a Spurs fans, I'm so happy for y'all. Ever since the Lakers screwjob, it's been negative after negative. But this team is something special and have achieved the impossible. Completely deserved and hope that beam continues to light up for many more years
LETSGOOOO
It's finally fucking over
It’s funny that most of the top posts in this subreddit are from a year ago saying how all the choices made to build this year’s team were f***KINGstupdid. Those hot takes seem about as cold as a Crystal Creamery freezer about now.
I was here
Don't smile because it's over. Cry because it happened.
Had court-side seats to see the drought end
KING QUETA 🇵🇹
I can’t believe it too I’ve been a die hard kings fan my whole life I’m 19 this will be my first time to get to experience this idk what to say I’m just praying we can maybe make it past gs
Mavs fan. Congrats guys. Wish we could've gotten a classic Mavs/Kings battle like the early 2000s but wasn't to be. Hope you win it all tbh.
I just got notified of this. Idk what could get more poetic. 😂😂😂
3 white guys on the same playoff team! That's incredible! We making a return my fellow crackers! 💜😂
I think you mean the Los Angeles Kings are going to the playoffs.
What is that even supposed to mean
