Kevin Quiambao bids La Salle goodbye to play in KBL
Metro Manila, Philippines — Kevin Quiambao has played his last game for the De La Salle University Green Archers in the UAAP.
The 23-year-old announced on Monday on his social media account that he is leaving the Green Archers to play professionally with the Goyang Sono SkyGunners in the Korean Basketball League.
“My college career comes to an end, I will pursue my NBA dream and start my journey by playing professional ball in Goyang Sono SkyGunners and developing my game even more,” he said.
Quiambao expressed his gratitude to the school that became his family for three memorable years in Taft Avenue.
“To the Lasallian Community, OSD, thank you for three wonderful seasons, a lot of sweat, tears, and sacrifices. Thank you for making me a great student-athlete,” he wrote in the post.

“To my Teammates and the whole coaching staff and management, I can't thank you enough for unwavering support. Thank you for believing in me and pushing me to reach my potential. I am so grateful and blessed to have you guys,” he added.
Quiambao is one of the best standouts that the Green Archers ever produced — winning one UAAP title, two Most Valuable Player awards, two Mythical Five selections, and a Rookie of the Year honor.
