I'm reading this here in Sacramento where billionaire owners the Maloof family are deadlocked on an arena deal that had been previously agreed upon (with the city contributing approximately $400 million), yet is still a principal issue of a county-wide ballot measure to approve a sales tax increase. Sports critics constantly compare the last decade of Kings success--especially the sellout streak (the NBA's longest currently)--to the Blazers from the Ramsay era to the Adelman era. Short of having our own Kings-related jargon give rise to restaurant names, I see certain parallels here, and I am forwarding your blogpost to the local sports/talk radio station here. On the fortunate side, one aspect of the Blazer downfall that isn't paralleled by the Kings is the citizenship of our players. Knock on wood...but Artest seems like an outstanding leader in a purple uniform, and even Bonzi Wells was admirable here for a year.DJ Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15192376447889019598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17650750.post-1143312378318001402006-03-25T10:46:00.000-08:002006-03-25T10:46:00.000-08:00(That's my little sister and me in our matching Ri...(That's my little sister and me in our matching Rip City tshirts circa 1977)Leslitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705519804326410713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17650750.post-1142783868771930212006-03-19T07:57:00.000-08:002006-03-19T07:57:00.000-08:00Look!<A HREF="http://static.flickr.com/46/114660594_d587d264e0_o.jpg" REL="nofollow">Look! </A>Leslitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705519804326410713noreply@blogger.com
