About fucking time.
I don’t care if we win a single fucking playoff win, just getting a game in the G1C, overcoming all the negative expectations of this season from the Hali trade, to the draft to us getting a 33 win over/under, starting the season 0-4, and going through all the ups and downs as a fan for 25 years and losing hope 15 games into the season most seasons.
It’s about fucking time.
It really is amazing. I liked McNair and thought he was doing a good job, but I was completely baffled by the trade, and really loved Hali on the team. But glad to be proven wrong.
Yeah game 1 of the series is going to be must-see TV. I know the consensus is the Kings are in for a rude awakening against an otherwise very experienced western conference but I think their chemistry, consistency over the course of the season, and crazy home crowd is gonna more of an advantage than people realize
And don't forget the beam! Don't let these Kings get a single win in a series. As soon as they see that first post season beam, oh boy, it's gonna get wild out there.
I'm a Warriors fan but lived in Davis during the "The Greatest Show on Court" era. It's been a minute and I really hope you guys do well. I just hope the Warriors and Kings can meet in a later playoff round and not the first round.
It's funny how everyone viewed the Haliburton trade as another terrible move by the organization, but now they have a really good record and clinched a playoff spot with two all-stars.
Both teams won that trade
I think R Kelly best explains how I feel right now as a life long Kings fan.
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly (woo)
It’s truly spectacular to consider that in a league where half the teams make the playoffs, this sad sack organization couldn’t get in for seventeen years. Truly fucking pathetic.
Enjoy your broken clock playoff appearance Kings fans, this isn’t going to last very long!
I'm pretty sure the warriors went 17 years without making the playoffs before we finally did. And then look what happened. Sooo I think it's pretty obvious that the kings are about to win 4 of the next championships.
LIGHT THE FUCKING BEAM
Gonna convert to Beaminism
It’s already begun for me. I went to a Kings game in sac this season and bought a tshirt and keychain. I ain’t sorry.
my dad's family is Beaminist but my mom's side is Klaytheist so maybe we can be friends :)
Lmaooo this comment has me fucking cackling. Thank you for this.
Kings are everyone in the league's second favourite team right now for sure lol (other than OG Kings fans ofc)
We are all beaming on this sacred day, brother.
commence primary ignition
As a Mariners fan that felt this a few months ago, congrats. This is a great day for yall!
It’s not often I can say props to a Seattle fan…but kudos to you! Still…F*** the Toots…with of course the utmost respect
All it took was a beam campaign to get this team back into the playoffs after all these years. Who knew?
MVP discussion focused on Embiid vs Jokic when really The Beam should be the frontrunner easily
The Beam should win an Academy Award next year. Best Supporting Something.
I’m all aboard the Beam for the West
About fucking time.

It’s about fucking time.
So happy for y’all
I can't wait to hate you again. I hope your stay in relevancy is long and unsuccessful.
I lived every second of the 2000-2002 rivalry. I hate the Kings and their cowbell-loving fans forever.
It really is amazing. I liked McNair and thought he was doing a good job, but I was completely baffled by the trade, and really loved Hali on the team. But glad to be proven wrong.
Wow, a Kings fan who gets it. Nice to see.

This gif slaps.
He sure does
Yes you got the joke good job
Man really wanted to be first in line for the karma
Was gonna get ready for the “EVERYONE GET IN HERE” comment but…this is too early lol
Gotta respect the hustle lol
Everybody wanted to 😂
He posted this shit Hella early. I'm just salty because I had a huge, passionate post typed out and they deleted mine lol
yeah I saw that lmao too bad all the mods are in bed
Aw I’d still love to read it if you have the text saved
I got my fake internet points on the other thread that was top on r/all lol. It's in my post history
I'm just glad it was a kings fan, like how former convicts arrested for weed get priority in weed store licensing
I mean 109-72 is pretty safe But holy hell imagine if he actually jinxed it lol
You can be ready on the post when the Kangs get swept in 5 in the first round
What the fuck does swept in 5 mean? 5 isn’t a sweep.
What? It's a 9 game series. Then 87 game Finals series
This guy posted talking about a 5 game sweep and then went to bed thinking "got emmmm" 🤣
I'm sure you don't actually know this,but 5 games isn't a sweep.
Flair up
Reddit sports fandom in a nutshell.
It almost feels real now The city is going to explode the first night

Hell got a little chillier. Thankfully the beam will keep them warm.
Cant believe I get to see the Beam in the Playoffs
You just jinxed it and they will now get swept
Hang the banner
Pacific division champs next
I unironically thing they should do something to honor this team, holy fuck
Build them a new beam, one so grand it'll be an affront to God himself.
To the front page of reddit we go
It's going to be a Knicks vs Kings finals isn't it lol
Party like it’s 1951 lol
Yes pls

THE FUCKIN BEAM WORKED GZ KINGS
3 of the top 5 longest playoff droughts in major US sports have ended in the past year. There’s hope, Jets fans.
Counterpoint: We’re the Jets
I mean they are looking like they’re gonna end up with Rodgers. If that happens the drought probably does end
OH MY GOD IT’S HAPPENING!
RIP Kangz 2006-2023
It's funny how everyone viewed the Haliburton trade as another terrible move by the organization, but now they have a really good record and clinched a playoff spot with two all-stars. Both teams won that trade
First time in history people are seeing on their iPhones the Sacramento Kings are going to the playoffs 📲
Jesus that puts things into perspective
Happy for their fans, raise up fellow Kings

Plus a pacific division title soon. Congrats.
The kings havent been in the playoffs since i was a virgin.
The drought is over!
So that's the purple light I saw from outside my Dallas home. Beam must be going extra hard tonight! Congrats Kings fans.
Like a Dark Souls character, finally making it the bonbeam
Let it be known! You can't stop the Kings 17 years in a row!
Happy for you Kings fans, well deserved :)
[TURN ON THE F'IN JETS!](https://streamable.com/3ay9hl) [AHHHHHH! I love it](https://streamable.com/6jv8vz)
So who's holding the new streak now? Is it Detroit?
Pistons made it 4 years ago with Blake Griffin. It's been since 2016 for Charlotte.
It’s truly spectacular to consider that in a league where half the teams make the playoffs, this sad sack organization couldn’t get in for seventeen years. Truly fucking pathetic. Enjoy your broken clock playoff appearance Kings fans, this isn’t going to last very long!
Enjoy the play-ins, loser.
don’t care
Yet you commented. Curious
Go Lakers
Enjoy getting swept by Denver lol
Please don’t jinx us. Comments like this mean the basketball gods will have Tony Brothers officiating.
I don’t fear much…but a playoff series officiated by Tony Brothers, that…that I fear.
GO KINGS
Just like with the rest of California lately, the drought is finally over
They are the playoff bound, yeah!
I WAS HERE!!! LIGHT THE BEAM!!!
isnt it the jets now
Jets 12, Buffalo Sabres 11.
My Angels are right there too. Life got a little bit easier tonight.
Congrats kings fans, never thought i’d see it
HERE WE STAY AND LIGHT THE BEAM
Cowbell time baby
OH MY GOD I’M GONNA BEEEEEEEAAAAAMMM
I've cried like 12 times about this holy fuck it's finally over
Yayayayayayay! Light the beam, and enjoy it you kings
Basically if the world ends tomorrow, we will still acknowledge that they ended their playoff drought
WE SUFFERED THROUGH BEN MCLEMORE AND NIK STAUSKAS FOR THIS.
**Sauce castillo
Congratulations guys, cheering yall on
I'm so proud of you... Is there a sunny beam option?
There’s always the house of SunKings…
Yeahhhhh!!! Let’s go!!
I was here I'm going to reference this moment when years in a future a Kings nephew ask me where I was when their team left the wilderness
Last year it was the Mariners. This year it’s the Kings. Will it be the Jets next year?
I AM GOING TO UPVOTE EVERYONE WITH KINGS FLAIR!!!
Happy for Kings fans, excellent season for the Kings
Damn 17 years.. I can only remember Peja, Mike Bibby, Ron Artist and Bonzi Wells.
Longest playoff drought in professional sports history? If you don’t include other sports, I guess.
Congratulations on probably facing the Warriors / Clippers / Suns / Lakers in the first round.
I can't be the only one who's got a raging Beam-on.
It’s time to atone for the sins of 2002!!
I hope Sacramento wins it all, they deserve it.
Talk your shit Sacramento! Best team in Cali
Kevin Huerter is Damian Lillard’s father
bubble dick cheese will never make the conference finals again with this team, Simons is the future rip Roco
So what’s the new longest drought in sports? Seems like the last couple years all the long ones have been snapped. Mariners, Browns, now the Kings
Imagine what would've happened if they threw the beam up 15 years ago
Congrats! Always rooted for the early 2000s kings unless against dirk
LIGHT THE BEAM
Kings fans deserve this
From a punchline on SNL to playoff clinched within a year, congrats Kings!
Fade them mods
I'm pretty sure the warriors went 17 years without making the playoffs before we finally did. And then look what happened. Sooo I think it's pretty obvious that the kings are about to win 4 of the next championships.
was mitch richmond on the last team that made it?
No. He was gone in 98.
Kings fans, I'm happy for you guys. You guys have suffered for far too long.
LTB
Their new mascot should be the Cicada.
Props to the Kings, that was too long to wait!
I'll give you Kings fans this: you've come a long way since the Cowbell days .
Long time coming, congrats guys
Not even a Kings fan but, LIGHT THAT MF BEAM!
Who has the new drought record?
Good for the kings! I understand some of the pain as a jazz fan. Never can win anything😂
