Favorite player of all time.....

I can’t wait to see the Bucks game, I really hope we smother them. Bogut has been amazing tho. Should be fun to watch and I hope I see some Peachquel T’s out in the audience!

Lockdown defense, great passing, made everyone on his team better when he was on the floor with them. Had the athleticism to get 20 a night, but knew how to defer to higher profile offensive options. The Kings never get to a conference finals without him.

Tyreke won’t be like DC, in that he’s going to be That Guy™ over the course of his career. The real question is, will the Kings ever acquire a player that can function as his Doug Christie? No one on the roster fits the bill, although if Cisco ever got rid of the inevitable bonehead-itis, he’d be the closest. Garcia just doesn’t have DC’s passing ability, super-quick hands on defense, or innate court sense, not that many do, of course.

Jon Barry love also. My favorite part of the bench mob. Instant energy, good defense, hustle player, Knock down the 3 ball. One of my favs…

Favorite player of all time: Magic
Favorite King of all time: That’s tough. Mitch, Peja, Weber, Vlade, Kevin… That’s really tough. I liked Reggie, I liked Tank, I liked Lionel, I liked Grant, I liked Corlis. I liked Jason.

I really started watching NBA basketball during Magic’s rookie year. My best friend adopted the Celtics. I chose the [Redacted]. Magic will probably always be my favorite player. Though, I hope someday a King can replace him. Being a Kings fan and a [Redacted} fan was easy during the 80s. Support the Kings every night. Support the [Redacted] every night except when they played the Kings. Support the [Redacted] in the playoffs. Easy. Once Magic retired, I felt no connection to that team from down south. So it was all Kings and only the Kings.

Favorite King is really tough. Kevin Johnson would’ve been a no brainer. I saw him in High School, I saw him at Cal, and I wanted the Kings to draft him. But, alas it was not to be. Fucking Kenny Smith.

I think if I had to pick one King as my all time favorite, it would have to be Mitch. He made the Kings relevant. He was in the top 3 at his position (MJ, Clyde, Mitch. IMO). He was an all-star, and an all-star MVP. Vlade, Peja and Chris will alway be right there. Chris hurt himself a bit when he threw Peja under the bus. But I still respect his play. Vlade would be very close to Mitch in my heart, but he seems to have realigned himself with the [Redacted] in his post Sac-town years. Peja, was great. But, Mitch was greater. So, it has to be Mitch.

I hope Tyreke has the longevity as a Kings player to take that spot. I know he has the talent.

SpeedRacer & Easy Reke will always be up there too I suspect.

Peja was my favorite, mainly because I loved great shooting. Hence the 16 in my username. But I don’t really have an All-Time favorite. I love so many different Kings for so many different reasons. Cisco is probably my current favorite King now that Speed’s gone (Hell, he probably was my favorite with Speed here).

Peja was my favorite King. Loved his shooting.

My favorite current King was KMart, but since the trade, it’s probably Cisco. Reke could get there, and probably will.

Brockman’s cool too. Love his energy.

he was my favorite player, right now I have a few players I really like Kenyon Martin, Ron Artest, Mickael Pietrius, and of course EVANSSSS

Only because his play really got me into Kings ball. I know he’s sort of considered a transplant among everyone here (Bullets, Warriors, Magic before Sacto), but he was still my favourite. I also love Peja because I love great shooting and liked Bibby. I guess I didn’t really know Divac because I sort of became a fan at the tail end of his career!

my favorite King. I always loved hardworking defenders who played for the team.
Michael Cooper of the Lakers was also such a guy.

Now, Omri and Evans.

All time favorite: Rik Smits of course. Everebody thought he was just another long, non-athletic stiff, but he had some solid skills. He was great in one epic play-off series against the Knicks (when Reggie Miller scored something like 40 points in 87 seconds)..

My early basketball fandom followed him from UCLA to Milwaukee to LA. Had a conversation with him once on the train at Hartsfield Airport – him sitting, me standing, having an eye-to-eye chat.

Favorite Kings player: The Rock. The best baseline to baseline player that the Kings have ever had.

The whole 69-70 Knicks starting five (Reed, Barnett, Frazier, Bradley, DeBuschere), West, Earl the Pearl, PIstol Pete, Bill Walton, Dr. J, Magic, MJ, Akeem/Hakeem, David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu, Nash, DWade, ths year Evans and Curry.
All time favorite: easy, the all-time best. He was amazing all the time. Bulls #23, Michael Jeffrey Jordan

Best players Live: Frazier, Earl the Pearl, Pistol Pete, Dr. J, MJ, Mourning and GrandMama, Webber and Vlade, Rodman,Garnett, Artest

Best Kings: 1999-2001. Loved the Bench Mob. Jason Williams is a pleasure to observe even though he infuriates and was glad to see him go. Favorite King: Vlade. Best King: Richmond.

Players I loved to hate: Sloan, Kevin Loughery, Isiah Thomas and the Bad Boy Pistons, Ralph Sampson, Dan Issel, Stockton and Malone, Ewing, Shaq, Kobe, Rick Fox, Eddie Najera, Nick the Quick, Sasha Vujacic, Reggie Evans.

Favorite Player: LeBron James - he’s just too amazing.

Before I moved here and before I became a Kings fan, my favorite player was Kobe. I still believe that Kobe is the best player on the planet, but LeBron James and Kevin Durant are right on his tail. I look forward to the day Durant surpasses Kobe.

After I moved the this area, I became a Kings fan watching the 2002 Playoffs. Mike Bibby became my favorite player, at that time. I would have to count Chris Webber right up there with him.

Later, I became a big fan of Kevin Martin.

Now, Tyreke Evans is fast becoming a favorite of mine.

And yes, Tyreke has a shot to beat them all out.

By the way, least favorite players – Spud Webb (i think i am the one person in the planet who could not stand the little guy), Robert Horry (You know what you did you bastard), Kobe, Jalen Rose, Steve Francis, Jon Starks, Damiper, Eddy Curry

Players I Hated Yet Loved Hating and Could Have Had Some Respect for if I was not a jerk – Magic, MJ, Stockton, Rodman

Perfect!

Chris Webber & Bobby Jackson all-time Kings faves easy. C-Webb was my favorite basketball player while Bobby was my favorite guy on the team. I love me some B-Jax. That whole team was great though Bibby had ice water in his veins & DC13 will always be one of my favorites for punkin Bitch Fox.

Any and all conversations begin with Tim Duncan.

Honestly: LeBron James.

Favorite King? Martin. Then… Peja.

Any and all conversations end with Tim Duncan.

I would still take him back even though his production has dropped off.

Favorite King was Mitch Richmond. He always seemed to put the team on his back back when the Kings were not that good. His trade really was the beginning of the Kings nice run as well, Thanks Mitch! I will give an honorable mention to Reggie Theus for his finger roll, Peja for being the best shooter in the NBA at one point and C Webb for giving us our only Top 10 active NBA Player. Hopefully that torch passes to Tyreke.

If Tyreke could shoot outside like even Spencer and if he could actually dunk on a few people then I could see him becoming my new favorite King.
