Last 7 seasons combined record: 187 W’s and 371 L’s (.335). Yes, the tank was strong in SacTown basketball. But if you think the last few years have been about basketball then you just did not pay attention. Unfortunately, and painfully, this was about one of the worst ownerships in the history of professional sports trying, numerous times, to turn its back against the fans, the community and the legacy of the club and move the franchise for personal profits (or in case you are familiar with the Maloof’s way of running a business – potentially lower loses). But that chapter has come to an end. And the city of Sacramento, its mayor, the fans and the Sacramento Kings came victorious. So next year we start with a clean slate. Looking at the future is where the focus should be. In Vivek we trust. There is no need to say anything about the Maloofs any more. They are history.
And so it is now the appropriate time for the 2013 edition of:
10 indicators you might be a true purple hearted fan
1. You have become an expert on marine mammals. Japanese? Norwegians? These guys are total amateurs compared to your knowledge on the subject.
2. You are now friends with George Costanza and the rest of the group entitled “Marine Biologists”.
3. You have updated the setting on your clock so you can now schedule your morning whale up call.
4. You have a man crush on KJ. If you are a female – you still have a man crush on KJ.
5. Your place in heaven is secured. You have gone through hell already.
6. You secured your tickets to the next year’s opening match in the old Arco.
7. You wish to thank more people than you actually know for their hard work and commitment.
8. You cancelled your trip to Seattle. If you had no arrangements for such a trip – you made them and then cancelled.
9. When you opened the new Kings site you immediately went to the “Careers” section hoping to see new openings for a GM and a coach.
10. You would like to share with the new ownership the two keys for securing future success:
(a) Never revile everything you know
P.S. Well, I guess I lied – I will comment one last time on the inglorious bastards and say this: Luck the Mafoofs. Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei!
Go SACRAMENTO Kings!!! 1985 – Forever.
