I love the Sacramento Kings. There is probably nothing in the world I love more then the Kings. I love the camaraderie of the team. One example of this is when my favorite player Bobby Jackson's mother passed away the Kings rallied with him and wore arm bands with her name on them. That I think is what sets the Kings apart from everybody else. The love and passion of this family is like no other. I feel Kings fans are truly a family like no other. I love the way the Maloofs are involved with the community and how the team makes the city of Sacramento feel like their "Kings of the world".
There is no arena in the world like Arco Arena. The warm reception, the electric atmosphere; you walk in and immediately you are overcome with excitement. Once the game starts Arco is louder then any Arena in the world. I love the fact we have knowledgeable fans that understand the history of the game and aren't "bandwagoners". Kings fans have always stuck with our Kings even when Sacramento was the laughing stock of the league. The way the Kings play the game of basketball is like an art. I have never seen in my lifetime an offense more fun to watch and more beautiful then the Kings offense. The passes, the screen and rolls, the back door cuts, everything is just how the game of basketball should be played.
Being a Kings fan is not all fun and games though. You constantly have to go through heartache and defeat. It kills me too think about what could have been if in just one playoffs, the Kings had there whole team together. Whatever happens though with this team, one thing is for certain, I will always be a Kings fan, and now matter how bad it gets, I will never turn my back on them.
