Kings notes: Stojakovic is king of Sacramento era, passes Richmond

[QueensFan]

And that's exactly why it appeared on page seven, as part of a "notebook" piece, in which these types of things usually appear. It's not breaking news or hard hitting analysis, but it's not supposed to be. Just an observation, with a somewhat sensational headline.

true, but the only reason this has blown up is that some people have decided to turn a nice little tidbit into another excuse to criticize Peja.

Yes, Peja has had a lousy year, even a lousy couple of years. And yes, he hasn't been the clutch player or the hardnosed defender that we hoped he would be. So go ahead and call for his head in other threads where it's within context to make such arguments. Fair enough.

But why can't we just acknowledge an accomplishment and move on? I know it's not a huge deal, but it sort of makes me sad to see what Peja's tenure here has become - a source of so much discontent. Did we not at one time marvel at his game, praise Geoff for his uncanny eye, and demand that Peja start over Corliss Williamson? I, for one, and glad that Peja has been here as long as he has, because he's provided some really special moments, especially when he and Vlade were playing together.

Sure, his time here may be coming to a close. But do we have to be so bitter about times past?

Amen brothah!

Just one more step in the webberfication of Peja Stojokavic

Wrong. And seeing as how I'm the main one doing the "criticizing," and I know what's going on in my head better than you, I'm flat out telling you that the "only reason" that this has blown up, as has been mentioned before, is because of the title of the article... *I* took exception to it.

Like I said before, if the title of this thread/news article wasn't worded exactly in the particular way that it was worded, I probably don't even post in here, and this thread, which has apparently turned into people trying to tell me why they think I don't have the right to comapare Stojakovic to Richmond (which, according to their twisted logic, is apparently "bashing" as well) likely never gets to sixty posts in the first place.

You guys need girlfriends.

As for Peja's "accomplishment," yay? Duane Causewell played over 400 games for us. Is Peja's "record" really an impressive milestone or merely mildly interesting trivia?

just trivia. i do find it ironic, however, that the possibility of peja for artest is as real as it ever was right now, with an article in yesterday's Bee saying that peja is the "king of the sacramento era" and an article today saying that "peja wants to stay put."
