Ranking the Top 50 Sacramento Kings, Pick No. 6

Double screen by Divac and CW for a completely open mid range shot.

Mr.Adelman I miss you.

Really, when you look at the stats and how long he was the face of the franchise, it’s not close. He was like Kevin Martin v1.0, inasmuch as he was a Robinesque player on a team with no Batman, and as such he took some unfair hits for the performance of the franchise. I feel bad for everyone that never had the opportunity to witness the “Tizzy-flip” live.

I actually went Theus. His tenure was not as long as the others but I think his charisma and star presence was just so important those initial years in Sactown as well as his solid play on the court.

I am sorry i cannot vote anymore as Bibby was picked over Tizzy. I am ashamed. While bibby might have been more exciting, Tizzy was KINGS…

I never got to see him play unfortiunately but everything I’ve read showed him as a stand up guy and the stats show how important he was for this team for a significant time.

as much as the next guy, but does it concern anyone that a 6th man is getting votes to be the 6th best player in Kings history?

I don’t think Christie should be as close as he is personally.

Theus’ time coaching too? Because i just dont see how BJax and DC are getting more votes, its somewhat absurd.

did any of you actually see games pre 1998?

On the court or on the stage; just a superior human being than most you’ll ever witness.

Strange as it is, I remember not liking his game back in the day, but don’t remember the exact reasons. i think I thought he was soft or something. Whatever, self. All things considered, he was a good guy and a good player for us, so I had to give him the nod here.

so ended up voting for Doug, I feel rather guilty for voting all the players from the good years in one after another.

But can we work on a way to include “Punched Rick Fox in the mouth” in Doug Christie’s stat line? Maybe 1/1 in ASARF (Attempted Swings At Rick Fox)?

Bibby: With Team longer

Tisdale: Scored slightly more per game (less than a point difference), but on a much worse team. As section said, he was basically Kevin Martin 1.0, the best player on a bad team.

Bibby: 1st All-Time in Assists and 3rd or 4th in 6 other major categories.

I think it goes beyond “People never saw Tisdale play” when they voted for Bibby ahead of him.

And this goes out to those that say that they can’t vote for Tisdale because they never saw him play. Would this mean that Luther Head > Walt Frazier, or Ronnie Price > Oscar Robertson?

I get the fact that it’s tougher to vote for a guy if you never saw him play. But some simple statistical analysis solves that. I mean, if you’re not going to consider anyone that played prior to 2000, you’re going to be left voting for Kenny Thomas, and sooner than later.

I have mentioned this before and I apologize for griping more than once but here goes. I am a huge fan of intensity. As a basketball spectator that virtue – aggressive involvement in the game is the heart of all sport. The joy of Doug Christie and Bobby Jackson? Those guys earned their sweat and played hard (balls to the wall, left it all on the floor, insert your fave sports cliche here).
Tizzy – for all of that wonderful talent and I will blame the state of the Sacramento Kingdom at that time for some of it (but not forgive it) was a coaster for the most part. His stats and games played are to be applauded but – and that is the big but for me – his level of performance knocks him down a spot and I would put Reggie in his place. HangTime’s stats are marvelous, the guy was a gutty player the biggest knock on him in the Sac Era is the lack of time he was here in the River City.
I may be extremely unfair here – this is all my impression of his game and his easygoing manner and disarming smile may have tainted what was really hard nosed grit. I just didn’t see it and can’t pretend to overlook it. That’s what makes opinions – fair or unfair as it is.
