Friday Notes & Links

Kenny Smith -- one of the top 15 Sacramento Kings in history, in my estimation -- will write for Yahoo! Sports this season, replacing the valuable Steve Kerr. But he'll be doing videos too, and that's what everyone will be interested in.
TrueHoop hosts a magnificent exhibit looking back at the hairstyles of Corliss Williamson.
Speaking of His Nastiness, some discussion of finding a way to honor Corliss for being such a good King popped up in yesterday's links thread. I'm all for it. But I think we should come up with something out of the ordinary, to recognize his extraordinary representation of our town over the past decade. Maybe something (artwork? a bust?) we can display somewhere in Sacramento, as a memorial to Big Nasty. If you own a local establishment and you're interested, contact me. If you have an idea, spill it in the comments.
We almost had a great mustache come to town this summer. Drown your tears on more mustachioed greatness.
How Wizards rookies live. I imagine Spencer Hawes and Mustafa Shakur exist in similar circumstances in Fair Oaks.
Friend-of-StR The Sac Rag won the Sacramento News & Review's 'best local blog' reader's choice award. Kenny Thomas did not rank among the top 3 for 'favorite Kings player,' which means we aren't working hard enough here. (And Grant Napear won 'best sports announcer,' which means we might as well be comatose.)
Rick Adelman seems to be adapting to life in Houston well.

Smith will have a hard time replacing Kerr, who is an excellent writer and even better analyst. Still, Kenny is about the only tolerable "color" guy on the TNT show. His analysis is generally BY FAR the best of the bunch. (I consider Ernie the moderator and anybody else part of the color team.)

"I think when you look at Rick and what he's done, he's taken different teams and made them winners," said Porter, who was Adelman's point guard in Portland and now is an assistant coach at Detroit. "A lot depends on the team itself. Our team in Portland was more of an up-tempo team, and that's what he did. The Sacramento team was overall a more half-court-execution team that did go up and down a little bit.

For those who thought of the Kings of a running team after Jason Williams left.
