Sitting at the Rusty Harpoon in Whalers Village in Lahaina, Maui watching our Kings almost take down the Spurs WITHOUT OUR TWO BEST PLAYERS I realized this season was much better than last year for sure and even better than the season before based on how the Kings finished the year.
They have Chutzpah, they have desire and finally some attitude. With their best players out they have beaten the best and they have beaten every division winner in the NBA some more than once.
Hawes is a keeper for sure. Beno is a diamond in the rough, a find only our GP could grab. Kevin is a near-future all-star. RonRon, when he plays in and with the team, makes the Kings a winner. Brad played like an All-Star unfortunately in same conference as Yao and Tim. Mikki was good and if we can find him some new/better hands, he could be real fixture here for some time. And Cisco. He is our 6th man-of-the-year for sure, an incredible player and is right up there with Mano.
The KingsFan board has been particulaily stimulating this year with new and old alike adding to the emotion, the arguments and for the most part, support of our Kings. Our local news rag has provided more stimulation this year than I can remember in a bunch of years. Grant and Jerry we've grown to really love, especially Jerry having listened to all the other color commentators in the league. His "out-on-the-farm-humor" is a treat. But that could be for adults in the crowd.
And the Maloofs. God love them. They are Sacramento and the Kings. Or as my wife and I call them, the "Sacramento Otters" (ever seen two otters at play in the water?).
So Aloha for another summer. See some of you in Las Vegas at the summer league in July and will report on the Kings team there for the rest.
