The Sacramento Kings will be paying homage to the teams of the late 1990s and early 2000s with their new jerseys for the 2014-15 season. 
The team's home and away jerseys will have an "an arced, silver-lined wordmark taken from the team's primary logo with a centered number on the front and back of the jersey," according to the team's website. These look pretty similar to the jerseys that Jason Williams, Chris Webber and Co. wore during a fond time in the team's history. The Kings' black jerseys will remain the same.

Nik Stauskas, the Kings' first-round pick in the 2014 NBA draft, sported the new jerseys at the 2014 NBA rookie photo shoot.

I wish they would have kept the aways the same.

Those are super nice.

Something about the white wordmark doesn't sit well with me.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Looks out of place

No they aren't.

5 titles for TWolves confirmed.

Wait, Wiggins demanded to go to the Wolves in the draft process and refused to play for the Cavs once they drafted him? And they're dealing him for Pekovic?!? 
 
FUCK

 

[bosoxlover12]

Vlade Divac was far better than Pek

 

[elcheato]

 
 
In 1996, Bryant, a teenager exiting high school for the N.B.A., was not the first pick, but he exuded self-importance when he refused to play anywhere but Hollywood.

With the 13th selection, with a deal to trade Bryant to Los Angeles in pocket, Charlotte chose him. But there was a point where it looked as if the Lakers’ Vlade Divac would retire rather than take part in a trade that would send him to Charlotte for Bryant.

Couldn’t Bryant be a Hornet? Could he grow to love Southern sweet tea?

“That is an impossibility,” Bryant’s agent, Arn Tellem, said at the time. “There are no ifs. It would not happen. He is going to be a Laker, and that’s the only team he’s playing for.”

The Cavs are making the EXACT same mistake the Hornets made

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I would have sat his ass.

 

[bosoxlover12]

Kobe wasn't Kobe coming out of HS tho, in terms of stock. He was probably the #7/8 guy in that draft, who fell due to him saying he wanted to be a Laker

It'd be like Zach LaVine doing the same thing, not Wiggins
