Sac 119, Ind 95 - at Ind Walt Williams (Sac) had 19 points including 7-11 FG and 5 rebounds. Mitch Richmond (Sac) had 14 points. Reggie Miller (Ind) had 19 points. Dale Davis (Ind) had 12 points and 5 rebounds. Sac shot 56.2% (41-73) FG and Ind shot 35.6% (26-73) FG. The game was marred by a bench clearing brawl which resulted in Michael Smith (Sac) and Dale Davis (Ind) being ejected. Fines and suspension tobe announced later.

That's right, it WAS Dale Davis. I'm still not sure what started it, but I remember Dale choking Smith.

diabeticwonder, I have to admit, that question stumps me. I don't remember that at all.

Diabeticwonder:

1. Kobe
2. Vlade
3. Kobe
4. second half...end of 3rd? Beginning of 4th?

 

[Diabeticwonder]

1. Kobe (right)
2. Vlade (right)
3. Kobe (right)
4. 3rd quarter

I had this question for $5K and I got 1-3 right, but guessed the first quarter. Oh well.

What comments did Jason Williams make in GS to get him suspended?

 

[funkykingston]

Do you really need to bring that up again?

Reportedly, he told some asian GS fans that he would kill them "just like at Pearl Harbor" and made machine gun sounds/motions at them.

I've already mentioned this in another thread, but here goes:

What former King is now a pitcher for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays?

Bonus: What other former King (although he made his name playing for a more storied franchise) was also drafted as a pitcher by the Toronto Blue Jays?

I think the Tampa Bay guy is Mark Hendrickson, don't remember the name of the Blue Jays guy.

 

[funkykingston]

Well, here's a clue (of sorts):

Even after he was traded to the Kings, my friends Dad continued to refer to him as "Rat Boy".








Not a good enough clue? He has a prominent front office job now. That's a plenty good enough clue.

 

[LA King Fan II]

Danny Ainge?

 

[allrightythen]

if it is Ainge I was no where close. I was thinking it was a current player in the Majors. I believe there is another current Major Leaguer who either played for the Kings or was close to playing with the Kings.

At any rate, its a good thing I didn't try and answer that bonus question

 

[funkykingston]

Twas in fact Danny "Ratboy" Ainge. I met him once. He told me I have the perfect braintype to be a poster on a message board.

What's your trivia question alrightythen? Or does LA King fan II have one?

Who won the first game in the new Arco Arena?

Who won the first game in the new Arco Arena?

Seattle Sonics - I was there.

 

[JB_kings]

Who was the starting PG in the 97-98 season, the year before Jason Williams was drafted?

Bobby Hurley I think. Wasn't Mahmoud Abdu-Rauf also brought in to play the point? Can't remember which one started though.

 

[funkykingston]

As Brick & DiabeticWonder pointed out, it was Anthony Johnson.

 

[JB_kings]

Who was the University of Virginia guard that played 53 games on the 1987 Kings squad?
He wore #2 on his jersey.

I'm trying to forget those years.

What college did christie play for?

 

[VF21]

Pepperdine


What King did I meet on my brother's birthday in 1986?

 

[BigWaxer]

Theus? I cannot ask my question unless u say its correct..

 

[VF21]

Whoa. You're good. Yes, it was Reggie Theus.

 

[funkykingston]

How fair is that?

Harold Pressley? Otis Thorpe? Reggie Theus?

 

[funkykingston]

I guess I'm a little slow on the draw.

 

[BigWaxer]

Okay I will cheat... I am stealing from a triva site HAHA My other question is pretty well known since I am from indiana and would go along the lines of VF's question so I wanted to switch it up.

This player once pulled down 40 rebounds in a game against Philadelphia. A. Sam Lacey, B. LaSalle Thompson, C. Olden Plynice, D. Jerry Lucas

 

[VF21]

How fair is that?

Harold Pressley? Otis Thorpe? Reggie Theus?

Actually, it's one of those things some people have probably picked up on over a period of time. I have only had two really favorite players during the whole time the Kings have been in Sacramento. Vlade, of course, is one. The other - which I've alluded to in various threads - is Reggie Theus. BW was making an educated guess I believe...

 

[BigWaxer]

^^ yup we only live 30 miles apart I can sense your vibes hahah

 

[funkykingston]

Lucas was a great rebounder in his time but I'm not sure he ever got 40. However, I'm taking him based on process of elimination.

If it's OP I'm gonna be angry.

 

[BigWaxer]

yup and I didn't know it either just swipped it. My question would have been like VF's although my answer was Reggie...Nobody could have known that really...

 

[allrightythen]

Here we go, per Funky's request,

Name the Kings only(only one that I know of) Haitian born center.

 

[BigWaxer]

Someone else can ask another question for me... The answer has to be our buddy OP
