Given everything that had transpired on the path to a new beginning for the Sacramento Kings, you kind of figured that the team and its fans would have something of an emotional opening to the 2013-14 season on Wednesday night. But what new owner Vivek Ranadivé and company put together to introduce the new season went — to me, at least — above and beyond the call of duty in matching the cathartic, celebratory tone of the times in Northern California. Check it out: I'll be honest: I got chills at the reaction to Ranadivé saying "your team." What a cool moment for a fan-base and region that 100 percent deserves it. All that and a win over the Denver Nuggets in the super-cool commercial-free broadcast that saw Mayor Kevin Johnson hilariously give NBA Commissioner David Stern a hard hat ? Pretty perfect start to the year, Sacramento. Savor it. Video via SB Nation's Mike Prada . - - - - - - - Dan Devine is an editor for Ball Don't Lie on Yahoo Sports. Have a tip?
