Breaking News: Shareef Abdur-Rahim Becomes Kings Assistant

Sacramento Kings

Shareef Abdur-Rahim will be on the Sacramento sidelines this season, but instead of wearing a uniform he’ll be wearing a suit. The Sacramento Kings announced this afternoon that Abdur-Rahim will be an assistant coach for them this season.

The 12-year NBA vet just announced his retirement last week and must have figured he still had to earn a living.

    It’s a good look for him, and if a man goes down he’ll already be on the bench to jump back in the game like his name was Farve!

    Sam Mitchell to the media today after being told that some people questioned how he utilized Kapono last year:

    “If you gonna ask me something, ask me something relevant that gonna make me think… now if one of you have a question about something we did specifically, you ask me and stop saying other people, cause some other people told me that you guys SUCK as reporters. I could come and tell you that every day… be a man and tell me that you thought Jason coulda been used differently, then we’ll talk about it, but don’t come telling me that the fans or some guys in the reporting pool… I’m gonna use the same thing, Barrett (another reporter) told me you sucked last year, he told me in private.”

    3:40 mark of his interview today, Oct.1

    HAHAHA, Sam in the man.

  13. Haslem says:

    yo can someone explain this, NBA players needing to make a living after retiring, there getting paid millions upon millions of dollars while playing. Don’t these guys have accountants?

    Dime, you should really stop treating grown men as a complete idiots. Quite disrespectful.

  16. Coop says:

    hahaha that Sam Mitchell business is great.

    Reef was a good player, up until his knee problems. Was averaging something silly like 17 and 7 until then if memory serves.
