The Athletic’s Sam Amick joined The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross on Thursday morning to talk about the Sacramento Kings clinching a playoff berth for the first time since 2006 and the emotions that come with the news.
“It’s just remarkable to me, from a life standpoint, just how long 16 years is,” Amick said. “I went down memory lane in my column and started trying to share thoughts about that stretch of time, whether it’s personal life with family stuff or in the Kings ecosystem.”
Topics discussed include:
- All the faces and names who helped mold the franchise early in its Sacramento years
- The team’s turnaround this season
- How so much has changed in life since the last time the Kings made the playoffs
- Owner Vivek Ranadivé deserves a lot of credit for bringing the city and community together
- Mike Brown is a good “face of the franchise” because of the way he communicates and because he’s “so damn fun.”
