As Kings fans, we know that the Kings have had a lot of players come though Sacramento that have endeared themselves to the city and the fans. We've had great players that have had some magical moments for the Kings, but also received a lot of crap from fans when they didn't produce (Webber, Peja, Vlade, Mitch, JWill, Bibby, etc.). What I'm looking for are the players that no matter what they did... good or bad, you had to love them because they were special to you!
In your opinion, who are the Top 5 "Fan-Favorite" Players to ever put on a Sacramento Kings Uniform?
1. Bobby Jackson - NBA 6th Man of the year, only bench player who's jersey sold more than some starters, biillboards around Sacramento, commercials, those famous playoff kisses from the ladies in the front row in Game 1 against the Lakers back in 2002...I think it's pretty obvious!
2. Corliss Williamson - Put up good numbers with the Kings his first time around and continues to be a fan favorite off the bench. Plus, he always got a ousing ovation from the Sactown fans when he played for the Raptors, and Pistons.
3. Jon Barry - Barry! Barry! Barry! Same scenario as Corliss...key contributor that got great ovations from the fans even after he left.
4. Scot Pollard - Another popular bench player that had his own little following amongst Kings fans.
5. Spud Webb - Spud was a fan favorite for a few years here and often got a more rousing ovation for the starting lineup introductions than Mitch. Plus, I remember the season ticket holders party at Paradise Island back in the day where Spud drew the biggest crowd of fans wanting to meet him...more than Mitch, L-Train, Brian Grant, all those guys!
Honorable Mentions: Bonzi, Ron, KMart, Gerald Wallace, Vlade Divac could be thrown in here as well, Mark Hendrickson (or maybe that was just me), Michael Smith..."The Animal", Yogi Stewart, Jim Les, Reggie Theus, Terry Tyler, LaSalle Thompson, Bobby Hurley, etc.
