The Sacramento Kings can make history today and win their first playoff series in nearly two decades.
They have to go against a tough rival in the Golden State Warriors, who are still defending their 2022 NBA championship.
Sacramento has made a big impression in this year’s postseason, and one NBA legend had high praise for them.
Shaquille O’Neal recently explained how impressed he was by the Kings so far this postseason.
“The Sacramento team has impressed me a lot, they don’t play like a young team. They playing like they have the experience,” Shaq recently said.
“This Sacramento team has impressed me a lot.”

They already made a lot of noise in the regular season, but they took things to a different level once the playoffs arrived.
Not many people believed they could be this good, but the young Kings proved doubters wrong.
De’Aaron Fox plays like he’s been doing this for a long time, while Malik Monk has risen to the occasion, often taking over for his team.
Shaquille O’Neal has connections with the Kings, as he was a minority owner until he sold his stake.
He knew how great they could be and now that they have a great coach in Mike Brown, things are going great for them.
They have another shot at impressing Shaq today, as they take on the Warriors in a Game 7.
The Kings can return to the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 2004, and the beam could be lit one more time.
Even if they don’t make it, there’s nothing to feel bad about, as they recorded an impressive season when people didn’t believe in them.
