Sacramento Kings Game Recap Articles

My name is Tom and I am a 30 year old dude who loves sports, and the Sacramento Kings.

I have a lifelong love for the sport of basketball which was instilled by my grandpa Ernie at a young age. He would take me to the local hoop court at the park, teaching me to "keep my hand in the cookie jar", that "it's all in the wrist" when shooting, and that you can learn more from a loss than a win.

Grandpa Ernie grew up playing on the dirt courts of Berkeley, CA and played basketball at University of San Francisco in the 1930s, before Bill Russell.

My first live basketball game was a Cal Bears game in the Cow Palace with my grandpa, watching NFL Hall of Famer Tony Gonzales and my favorite, point guard Randy Duck!

I grew up as a young kid falling in love with the NBA by watching Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Toni Kukoc and the Chicago Bulls on the national WGN Chicago television station.

But when I received a Kings Kids Club flyer in the mail in 1998 it was game over, GO KINGS!

I started off watching Lawerence Funderburke and Corliss Williamson, as they slowly built the pieces that got them to the "Greatest Show on the Court" with J-Will, Bibby, C-Webb, Peja, Vlade, Christie and the 6th man!

My favorite Kings player growing up was Gerald Wallace, I would always watch to the end of games just to see if my favorite high-flyer would get into the game for even a minute or two!

We made it through the Donaghy travesty, the Maloof monstrosity, "Here WE Stay", and we are climbing our way back to the top!

"If you don't like that you don't like KINGS basketball! OH BOY!!!"

GO KINGS!
