This NBA season is close to wrapping up for the Sacramento Kings. What do they have to show for it? Clearly there haven’t been enough wins to satisfy even the most positive Kings fan. As of now the Sacramento Kings only have 20 wins on the season and are flirting with the league’s worst record. […]
He'll add it to an already jammed trophy collection that includes five NBA championships with the Lakers, two Olympic gold medals, NBA Finals most valuable player awards, a league MVP award and four All-Star game MVP awards.
As the pic below shows, we have moved into the stretch run of the season for Tankathon 2018. While many teams have the boring task of maneuvering for the playoffs, we Kings fans get to enjoy the fight for the most ping pong balls, with no real guarantee we’ll even get the top pick (if […]
Friday morning, Central Michigan announced they are postponing their teams basketball game against Western Michigan after a school shooting took place on campus.
There is so much talk around the NBA right now about teams trying to lose to improve their draft chances. The league has a perception problem with this. Teams near the bottom of the NBA standing appear to be in a race for the league’s worst record. The benefit is the best odds of winning […]
