This holds a bit of irony because I never previously have been a fan. Strictly in basketball terms, I’ve always thought the Sacramento Kings have been one of the most poorly run franchises in the NBA. They’ve made bad decisions in the draft, haven’t developed players and free agency often has been a joke for them.
Sacramento police officers shot Stephon Clark, an African-American man, 20 times while he was holding a cellphone in his grandmother’s backyard last Sunday, killing him and turning the Sacramento community upside down. Protesters formed a human chain around Golden 1 Center in the moments before the Kings were to play against the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday, blocking all entrances and preventing fans from attending the game.
