In the 2023-2024 professional basketball championship game against Suwon KT, Busan KCC won the title for the sixth time in its career with four wins and one loss. It was also the first time for the team to rank fifth in the regular league.
Song returned to KCC after being discharged from the military during the early 2023-2024 season and immediately claimed the title during the season he played after being discharged from the military. Song was a key player for Super Team. He contributed both offense and defense through his wide range and exquisite 3-pointers in the championship game, and eased the physical burden on Choi and Lee.
Song recorded 10.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in five games, playing an average of 31 minutes and 23 seconds. The performance was in line with expectations that it would be the last puzzle for a “Super Team.”
The KBL has allowed all players who have completed registration procedures to play since the 2010-2011 season, when the military service period has gradually decreased and they can be discharged at the end of the season. Through this, players who returned at the end of the season have been acting as variables that affect the regular league or playoff landscape.
Shin was the first player to win the title as soon as he was discharged from the military. After being discharged from the military at the end of the 2010-2011 season, he played 15 minutes and 11 seconds on average in six matches, contributing to KCC’s victory with 4.7 points and 0.8 steals. His three-point shot was also sharp compared to his performance time and weaknesses. He recorded an average of 0.8 (success rate of 50 percent).
Ulsan Hyundai Mobis also produced record-breaking characters one after another while achieving the first three-fit KBL. Song Chang-yong in the 2013-2014 season and Kim Dong-ryang in the 2014-2015 season were discharged from the military at the last minute and were named the winning members of Hyundai Mobis.
In the 2015-2016 season, Choi Jin-soo took over the baton. Although Orion had thick forward power and lacked time to play with teammates, he recorded four points and 1.7 rebounds in an average of 13 minutes and 18 seconds in six games in the championship game, becoming Orion’s last puzzle and last winning member.
After that, Anyang KGC (currently Jeonggwanjang) enjoyed the joy of winning the title with its reserves. Choi Hyun-min and Lee Won-dae won the 2016-2017 season together, and Kim Kyung-won contributed to KGC’s wire-to-wire last season.
Song was named as the eighth player to win the title as soon as he was discharged from the military. He was also the only player who scored more than 10 points in 30 minutes on average. He proved that a player who was discharged from the military could have a significant impact on the league.
