Sacramento Kings Deny Dealings With Disgraced Wingnut Dinesh D'Souza
Disgraced '80s relic/wingnut Dinesh D'Souza, having pleaded guilty to violating federal campaign finance law, is currently living in a halfway house as part of his probation.

The Kings Introduced The Warriors With The <em>Full House</em> Theme
Visiting teams are used to getting booed during the introductions of their starting lineups. So maybe, the Sacramento arena crew figured, they might be thrown off by getting laughed at. At Wednesday's opener, they cued up the Full House theme music to welcome the Bay Area squad....

Dwight Howard Blocks Little Kid; Little Kid Schools Dwight Howard
If you're a small child and you want to go one-on-one with Dwight Howard, now seems to be the time to strike. Previously, we saw him dunk on and block the crap out of a small Wizards fan, and now we have him taking on a pint-sized Kings fan. But this game comes with a surprise ending....
Kyle Lowry Gets Boned By Terrible Foul Call, Runs Right Off The Court
Some serious bullshit went down at the end of last night's Raptors-Kings game. With 28 seconds remaining and the Raptors down by six, Kyle Lowry hit an incredible three-point shot that was inexplicably waved off by a referee who thought Lowry kicked his leg into the oncoming defender as he went up ...
Derrick Williams Attempts Ill-Fated Off-The-Backboard Dunk
Garbage time is usually an opportunity for NBA stars to draw from the grab bag of Globetrotter tricks. Derrick Williams tried a pretty mild off-the-backboard dunk maneuver. It didn't go so well....
The End Of Weber State-Sacramento State Was Just Absurd
College basketball already had a hell of a showing Saturday with top-ranked Arizona losing on a last-second shot and Duke forcing overtime against Syracuse with a buzzer-beater, but there was another crazy finish yesterday that didn't feature two perennial programs....
DeMarcus Cousins Continues Strict No-Handshake Policy Against Clippers
The LA-Sacramento handshake feud is officially the Capulets and the Montagues of our generation. No Sacramento King will ever again exchange ritualistic-verging-on-meaningless signs of mutual respect with a Los Angeles Clipper. Not while DeMarcus Cousins is around....
Do Not Even Think About Dapping Chris Paul In Front Of DeMarcus Cousins
Saturday's Kings-Clippers game ended with DeMarcus Cousin missing a tough, potentially game-tying shot as time expired. As Cousins was leaving the court, he noticed his teammate, Isaiah Thomas, attempting to shake Chris Paul's hand. Thomas should have known better, because Cousins was having none o...

No One Notices The Spurs Because No One Notices San Antonio
Here's a working barstool-grade theory as to why, during its dynastic run to four (perhaps soon five) titles since 1999, America still embraces the San Antonio Spurs with a yawn and a why are you still here? squint. This phenomenon has flustered if not baffled sports cognoscenti for years. But they ...
Maloof Family Thanks Sacramento In Newspaper Ad
Years of prayers were finally and officially answered: as of Friday, the Maloofs are no longer NBA owners. Sure, they drove the team into the ground, and sure, they did everything possible to sell the franchise to an owner who would move it from Sacramento, and sure, just two weeks ago George Maloof...
