Winning a title to close out the Ryukyu Golden Kings¡¯ remarkable stretch of sustained excellence in the bj-league put a huge smile on Golden Kings legend Anthony McHenry¡¯s face.
Like the rest of his teammates, McHenry¡¯s post-game mood was euphoric on Sunday, when the Golden Kings defeated the Toyama Grouses 86-74 at Ariake Colosseum to claim the fourth championship of their nine-year history.
What else did you expect title No. 4, which made Ryukyu the winningest franchise ¡ª surpassing a pair of three-time winners, Osaka Evessa and Hamamatsu Higashimikawa Phoenix ¡ª in league history, would do?
