As Vivek as stated... "opening night will mark the intoduction of Demarcus Cousins to 1.2 billion Indians." A superstar performing at halftime... big time theatrics planned, first class all the way... and televised nationwide in India.

Anyone who doubted the value of having Vivek as an Indian owner please step up for your serving of crow.
 
I'm frankly surprised at the televised nationwide in India bit given basketball's current status in India. Half of the viewers are going to need a cheat sheet just to remember what the rules are.

Well give 'em a good show Sacto fans. Maybe if they see you're all excited about basketball they'll figure maybe they should get excited too. :p

Maybe, but remember, basketball is the number 2 sport in India right now. But even if the game is totally new to half the audience, it's an exciting and fast paced enough game that you don't have to be totally familiar with it to enjoy it. Plus, they will have an emotional connection and reason to root for the Kings. It's an incredible market opportunity for Vivek, and by proxy, Sacramento.
 
Vivek did say that basketball is not going to be #1 in India. Cricket is insanely popular there. But he wants to up basketball fever there. :)
