Bossing import George King, nagpasalamat kay coach Cariaso at sa kaniyang buong team

Pinuri ni Blackwater Bossing import George King ang kanyang coach na si Jeff Cariaso dahil sa mahusay na pagdadala nito ng mga manlalaro sa buong panahon ng kanilang karera sa Season 49 ng PBA Governors’ Cup. 

Pinasalamatan din ni King si Cariaso dahil sa binigyan siya ng pagkakataon na mapasama sa koponan ng Blackwater at makapaglaro sa kumperensyang ito.

“I played a lot of basketball, been with a lot of coaches, a lot of different markets, a lot of different continents, countries. I just want to complement the coach. Honestly, you (Cariaso) are the best coach that I played for. In these span of five, six games, the offense and defense is very simple but effective. I just want to say thank you. It’s been a real joy. My games follow because of that," ani King.

Bukod kay coach Jeff, nagpasalamat din si King sa mga teammates nito dahil sa mainit na pagtanggap sa kanya magmula nang dumating siya sa bansa at mapabilang sa roster ng Blackwater team. Higit sa lahat, hindi nakalimutan ng dating NBA player na magpasalamat sa Maykapal.

“I would say the same about them (teammates). When I first arrived, fresh off the plane, we went to GAB and we took practice. It was right in the middle of practice. I caught the end of practice. And I sat and watched some live stuff and watched the guys play. Honestly, because at this point of my career, I just appreciate it so much. I’m really enjoying my time here in the Philippines, playing for Blackwater, being around the guys, and learning from them not only on the games on the court, but as men as well. Those are the things that you do when you decide to walk away from the game and retire,” saad ni King. “This has been a memorable one for me."

“As I was sitting there, the cheers from the guys, and then what we do is we shot halfcourt shots after practice, fun and games. Right then and there, with the small sample size, I got to see a lot of personalities. Right then and there, I knew I’m around my type of guys. At that moment, at the back of my mind, I just have to thank God because I’ve been in a 180 (degree) situation where it was the opposite of that. And so I would say the same about them," pagtatapos ng Blackwater import.
