AEG acknowledges interest in Sacramento Entertainment and Sports Complex

In return they would get profits from operating the arena, and using the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon they could also see benefits from the fact that their partially-owned subsidiary, the ICON-David Taylor Group, is providing the logistical backbone for Think Big Sacramento and its proposals. Taylor, whose development company David Taylor Interests would like to build the arena, has also expressed interest in buying up properties located near the arena. And with AEG, Taylor, Darius Anderson, and many other committee members also having business interests near the arena, a mini-L.A. Live type project with the Kings as the epicenter is where the smart money is heading.

Don't Curb Your Enthusiasm

Here’s what transpired: His side up one with just 5.5 ticks remaining in the fourth quarter, Memphis guard OJ Mayo catches a Mike Conley inbounds pass, puts down two awkward dribbles and sinks a clutch fall-away J at the top of the key, lifting his team to a 98-97 lead with 1.5 seconds left on the clock. As members of the Grizz hop up and down in joy and saddened Kings fans drop their heads in all-too-familiar disappointment, DeMarcus Cousins tosses the ball in to Tyreke Evans, who appears to be the only—or at least the first—player on the floor competent enough to realize that his squad has zero timeouts, meaning a quick Hail Mary-esque heave would be its only chance at an unlikely victory. Slightly after his 60-or-so foot lob goes up, the buzzer sounds, the roundball snaps through Memphis’ net, and the Kings’ bench—led by Donte Green, whose celebration, for some odd but hilarious reason, began as soon as the rock left Evans’ hands—storms the court in a fit of excitement. On cue, Reke throws his arms in the air and hops on to the scorer’s table, leading the ecstatic arena in an unexpected but incredibly welcomed celebration.

Sacramento Kings Rookies Impress in Jimmer's All-Stars Game

Meanwhile, Thomas quickly won over the Utah crowd when he bounced the ball off the floor and threw down a two-handed slam in the first quarter, leading to “We want Thomas!” chants from the fans. The second round pick came back, hit consecutive three-pointers, and capped off the game with another thunderous dunk, after which he hung on the rim for emphasis. The explosive guard finished with 19 points (8-18 FG, 3-6 3PT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals, and it won’t be long before the 5’8″ dynamo becomes an instant fan favorite in Sacramento along the lines of Bobby Jackson, Tyus Edney and Ronnie Price.

It remains unclear if Bravo tonight will draw in basketball viewers. But the Bravo storyline will address one of the biggest controversies to rock the NBA season last year.

NBA PM: Overlooking the Sacramento Kings?

It’s not a far stretch to look down the road and see fans of the Sacramento Kings being in the same boat two or three years from now. Sure, they’ve been the whipping boys of the NBA for a while and they had the second-worst record in the conference last season, but that’s a trend that is about to make a radical shift. Much like the Sonics-turned-Thunder, the Kings have put their high draft picks to good use and now have a great young core in place. It shouldn’t be long before this team, like the Sonics before them, start a meteoric rise to the top of the West.

'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills': Keep your Friend's Friends Close

Adrienne Maloof went against her security detail’s advice and attended the season’s last basketball game for her family’s team, the Sacramento Kings. But, the city that usually welcomes the Maloofs with open arms didn’t take kindly to Adrienne that evening. There was a very good chance that the family was going to move its team to another city with a better stadium and the fans weren’t happy about it. As her guest, Kim Richards wasn’t much help as she seemed clueless about the danger at some points and heard imaginary gunshots at other points.

Sacramento Kings Arena: Potential Complications Arise In New Building Plan

- Although there are thousands of existing parking spots within walking distance of the arena site, the project likely will require 1,500 to 1,800 new “premium” parking spots close to the arena. The arena development team could negotiate with the state to share 900 spots in the juror lot at a planned new Superior Court building in the railyard. But that will leave the arena project short an estimated 600 to 900 spots.
