All around are signs of hope that maybe, just maybe, the people of Sacramento can put up a good fight to keep the Kings in our city. Ailene Voisin wrote an inspiring column this past weekend about how the team members don't want to leave, either. It felt good to see it. Carmichael Dave, Jiffy Lube and company have made unbelievable noise with Here We Build. I am voraciously soaking up every tweet and post about Here We Build, Here We Stay and any article coming out about the Sacramento Kings right now (check out this fantastic one on RotoWorld).
Like many longtime Kings fans, I love this team. I have adored most of the players who have come through (Doug Christie will always be my favorite), with the exception of a few players who brought more grief than glory to this town. For the most part, this team has brought drive and passion to this city in good times and bad.
Whatever happens at the end of the day, the Kings have made their mark on this city. I'll always remember the horror of Robert Horry's 3-pointer to knock us out of the Western Conference Finals, the elated roar of the crowd when I attended a playoff game against the Mavericks where the Kings won, and the very first Kings game I went to in first grade when my mom dressed me up in my favorite fancy outfit for the event.
The people of Sacramento are speaking pretty loudly. At least we know that we've put up a real, heartfelt fight. I guess we'll find out what happens next very soon. In the meantime, let's make some more noise.
