Newest Free Agent: Me?

Wuddup, GSoM, my name is Chris,

Wuddup, Steve.

Expect biased polls from either site.

Just replace the words LeBron with Chris and King James with King Chris. (We had to make cuts on the budget)

and a username like Webby37, sounds like you should have been support the Kings circa 2002.

And yeah we worship the Devil! What? You haven’t heard of the Tasmanian Slovenian?

1) Apologies for the GSoM thing. Wanted to post this on Saturday on both blogs, but there was the 24-hour wait period, so I couldn’t pull it off at the same time like I wanted, and when I went to post it here, I copied and pasted. Sue me.

2) My name is truly Chris Webb, not just trying to rally for love from here.

3) Am on a mission now, but I’m on furlough for the summer in the States.

4) Not meaning to insult or piss of anyone here at all; honestly, I’m just in the market for a b-ball team. I can read the standings—if I wanted a 2010-2011 championship contending team, I’d find one. But I truly am looking for a long-term team to support, and while Googling this or that gets some basic facts, I think you can learn a lot more from the real fans how their team is and about the attitudes and tendencies. Seriously, I’m not trying to piss off anyone by being an attention whore or anything. If anything, I’m hoping/expecting you to talk about yourselves.

Tis all.

So why waste any more of your life rooting for Golden State? Welcome.

If you hate watching defense, roll with them.

It’s really that simple.

Future: I’d have to say the Kings have a much better future than the Warriors. We have better young players than the Warriors do; we have players such as Tyreke Evans, DeMarcus Cousins, Omri Casspi(my favorite for his toughness, can-do attitude, and his will), Jason Thompson, Donte Greene, and Hassan Whiteside, whereas the Warriors can really only boast Stephen Curry and a bunch of minor D-League players. Basically all of our young players are extremely likable and personable, players that a fan can really get behind and root for now and in the future.

Going to Games: The Sacramento Kings have a past of packing Arco Arena to the brim with fans, and it happened regardless of how bad the team was. However, I’ll be honest, right now going to games currently isn’t the best experience because the local economy isn’t the best and people aren’t as inclined to come. Often, however, the trend of an empty arena was starting to fade off, and people were coming. The team figures to be much improved this year, so this along with motivated owners who want to sell tickets (and for cheap!) should make going to home games the experience it was in the past.

Players: Tyreke Evans is the star in Sacramento.. I’ve heard the term “Purple Jesus” to describe him; this is because he is kind of seen as the savior of the Kings franchise; potentially the best player we’ll have to date and he couldn’t have been drafted at a better time. Evans seems to really enjoy the team and Sacramento, so I don’t see him leaving any time soon. Get that Evans jersey, you won’t regret it!

Team/Ownership: Joe and Gavin Maloof may not be the richest owners out there (Warriors fans are probably chatting up how rich their ownership’s going to be), but they do what the can to help the team win, as seen by their willingness to spend when the Kings were championship contenders. The Maloofs are basketball fans and they hate loosing; they are loyal to Geoff Petrie (GM) who is one of the most respected general managers out there today. Petrie has put many winning teams together and he’s in the process of doing the same again.
I will say that recently to sell more tickets, the Maloofs have picked up their old ways of treating their customers very well; reading about some interactions on this website makes me think they are great at recognizing customer interests. Overall I haven’t had too many problems with ownership at all, something Warriors fans cannot say about their past, present, and future (just because they’re rich doesn’t mean they’re good) ownership.

Other things you should know: We fans hate the L*kers, and for the most part we love the direction the team is heading and the vast potential we see. We are cultured in losing and winning; we know disappointment and defeat, but right now hope is growing in fans, and hopefully you can see that by hanging around here at Sactown Royalty.

The Kings look to be a very good team in the future with an actual game plan as laid out by Geoff Petrie.. looking at the Warriors’ recent actions they lack the direction and cohesive movements Kings’ management has made.

Become a Kings fan and you’ll be immersed in a very diverse group of fans who became fans for different reasons besides being the local team. Honestly I can’t tell you why you should be a fan; hang around and follow the Kings, and you’ll really see why we’re all fans.
