Years ago, I spent over two weeks putting together a three part audio documentary about the 2002 season for the Sacramento Kings. It's some of my best work that I am incredibly proud of.

Of the Kings' 9 national TV games, 6 are in Sacramento.

Once again, the NBA wants to showcase the Golden 1 Center and Kings fans. They know it's one of the best fanbases in the league.

Its' the same every year. The vast majority of national tv games are home. Not a coincidence

Doing a Locked On Kings podcast on expectations for Sacramento's "big 3" of LaVine, Sabonis & DeRozan.

What do you want/need to see from them this season? Think specifics for each one, not just "win games".

A Kings backup point guard note: Expect Nique Clifford to get some opportunity at the point this summer.

There is belief within the Kings organization that Clifford can handle the backup spot and could compete for it as a rookie.
