What the SACRAMENTO Kings Mean To Me - A Venomy Perspective |
Here we are. The last hour of the last day of the last month... etc. I, for one, knew it would come down to the last moment. One last desperation attempt at keeping the Kings in Sacramento. |
If the Kings stay, what will that mean to me? What will that continue to mean to me? How do the Kings translate to my life? |
How important are they to me? |
Break down after the jump. |
Hi. My name is Kimani David, and I'm a lifelong (born in '89) Kings fan. My first game at Arco II was during the '94-95 season. I don't remember much of it, but I know the Kings beat the Warriors (Basketball Reference tells me it was 112-103 on January 19th). My dad played High School ball with Walt Williams' dad (Walt... |
Here is a Pookey for you to all enjoy. |
(Sorry for all the parentheticals - I know they are really displacing. I'd also like to mention that we had flown to Disneyland the next day and we saw the Kings beat the Clippers -in Anaheim- from the nosebleeds). |
After those two games, I was in love. Spud Webb, Walt Williams, Mitch Richmond, Brian Grant. It was an easy team to fall in love with, and it didn't hurt that they were actually winning that season. I became more and more engrossed in Kings culture as time went on (even though I had abandoned the team after the William... |
Then '98-'99 happened. |
For you newer fans, this season was the most exciting thing to happen to Sacramento since the gold rush. /hyperbole |
We traded for Chris Webber, sending good 'ol Mitch Richmond away (he was nothing without Walt Williams... just kidding). We signed Vlade Divac. We drafted Jason Williams. It was Peja's first season with the team. We gave Vernon Maxwell (inexplicably one of my favorite NBA players ever) another shot. The Kings made the ... |
To me, that 98-99 season defined Sacramento as a franchise. To me, that 98-99 season defined my sports fandom. It made me crave more. That 98-99 season is a big reason why I am also a fan of the Atlanta Falcons (the other reason being that the 98 Superbowl was the first one I ever watched, and I felt bad for the Dirty ... |
The 2000 season presented some struggles, namely with Jason Williams, and also presented our first playoff encounter with the LA L*kers. I've never hated any entity more than the L*kers, and that playoff series was a big part of it. I fully believe that had the Kings been able to win that series, they would have appear... |
2001-2004 were some of the best years of my fledgling sports life (not counting Games 4, 6, and 7 of the 2002 WCF) and that was due in large part to the Kings. The Falcons were important, but the Kings were a consistent contender, and that is that. |
It was sad seeing Webb's knee blow out. It was more sad to see him get traded (his walk towards the airplane after the trade was one of the most poetic moments I've ever witnessed - I'm no Jim Boehner, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't cry. I cried after Game 7 too, but that was out of pure frustration). It was sad s... |
'05-'06 happened, and that was a nice break from our downward spiral. Bonzi Wells, good Ron, Kevin Martin's emergence, etc. Rick Adelman's last year in Sacramento. That Spurs series was fantastic, and again, that was a series that Sac had no business being competitive in (and had Brent Barry missed that shot, the Kings... |
Musselman happened. And he was a large part of why Brad Miller devolved, why Mike Bibby became a jacker, and why good Ron pretty much disappeared. Reggie Theus, the coach who couldn't play by his own rules, both established Kevin Martin and ruined him at the same time. Kenny Natt. |
Which brings us to today. Geoff Petrie has the reigns of the team back (by all appearances). The Kings are poised to compete in the next three years, with two potentially franchise-changing talents in place and a bunch of interesting players that also have potential. Fans must realize now that patience is a virtue. |
Which rounds me into my initial point - What, if anything, do the Kings mean to me? |
