KINGS RUMORS & GOSSIP

The man responsible for getting everyone to do the Jimmer last year is not happy with the lack of Jimmer-ing this season. TJ Fredette, amateur rapper and brother of the Sacramento Kings rookie guard Jimmer Fredette, used social media to air his frustrations with the the Kings’ interim coach, Keith Smart, and the lack of...Read the Rest...

A year ago at this time, Jimmer Fredette was the biggest story in the world of college basketball and among the biggest stories in sports period in 2011. That was then, this is now. Even last year there were plenty of skeptics on how Jimmer’s game would progress at the next level, and he has not done much with the Sacramento Kings so far to diffuse such criticism. After again being...

Isaiah Thomas is starting and tearing it up. Sacramento rookie point guard Isaiah Thomas has now strung together four strong games in a row. He's for real. In the Kings' 120-108 loss to the Miami Heat, Thomas looked fantastic, hitting 7-of-12 shots and 5-of-5 free throws for 24 points. He filled it up with five 3-pointers, five assists and three rebounds. This followed...

DeMarcus Cousins drew headlines when he found himself at odds with former Sacramento Kings head coach Paul Westphal. However, since the dismissal of Westphal, Cousins has quieted his voice down and you have not heard a lot from him. Cousins is beginning to fit in well with head coach Keith Smart and is willing to stay with the Kings long-term, according to Chris Tomasson of Fox Sports...

(Eds: With AP Photos.) By TIM REYNOLDS AP Sports Writer For Sacramento rookie Jimmer Fredette, there's one aspect of the NBA life that's proving difficult to handle. It's not the intricate defenses, not the physicality, not even the demanding schedule, even though he confesses that he's gotten his hotel room number in one city confused with what it was the previous...

They better let me keep starting T... Above the Rim Isaiah Thomas PG, Kings Jimmer is not the guy in Sac Town, it’s the other rookie Isaiah Thomas who has taken the job from John Salmons and it doesn’t look like he will be giving it back any time soon.  In his last 3 games, Thomas is getting a ton of minutes and is producing.  He has 50 points, 19 assists, and 15...

The Cleveland Cavaliers got a little lucky tonight according to the head coach Byron Scott, Tristan Thompson and Kyrie Irving both had outstanding performances to help the Cleveland Cavaliers pick up their 12th win of the season. Even though the rooks played well tonight it came down to the final moments of the game that decided the outcome. Kyrie Irving was going for the game winning...

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Omri Casspi may not exactly be lighting it up for the Cavaliers (far from it), but you can say this much with a certain degree of confidence: Casspi is playing better than J.J. Hickson. You remember Hickson, dont you? Hes the 6-foot-9 power forward who spent the first three years of his NBA career in Cleveland. He was considered young and athletic with a huge...

The bond between Isaiah Thomas and Nate Robinson is no small order. Neither is their desire to succeed. The NBA can be a grind especially for players trying to find a niche. In S.O.N. Episode 6, NATE ROBINSON takes young buddy and NBA rook ISAIAH THOMAS under his wing in preparing him for his first NBA season, while schooling the final pick of the 2011 NBA draft chosen by the Sacramento...

Sacramento Kings rookie point guard Isaiah Thomas was booed Wednesday night by New York Knick fans at Madison Square Garden for being named Isaiah Thomas! Knick fans still carry such a hatred for the former team president and coach Isiah Thomas. Isaiah is actually named after Isiah as Wikipedia tell us: "Isaiah Thomas was named after former Detroit Pistons All-Star point guard...

Meet the Sacramento Kings Seattle SuperSonics new general manager. Mike Tyson was at MSG last night for the Jeremy Lin experience, but the former world champ didn’t get to see a scoring outburst from Linsanity. He’d have to settle for 10 pts & 13 dimes in a 100-85 Knicks win. The victory – 7th in a row – gets NY back to .500. Don’t think Vegas isn...

Before the Sacramento Kings took on the New York Knicks Wednesday night, the Kings had a special visitor.  That visitor was none other than legendary boxer Mike Tyson.  Tyson is apparently taking in the contest tonight. Although most of the members of the team probably don’t remember Tyson’s prime, it’s not often you get a chance to spend time with Mike Tyson...

At last nights Chicago Bulls vs Sacramento Kings game I found the one Kings fan who wasn’t ready to give up the Peja Stojakovic era. Peja hasn’t been on the team since the 05′-06′ season and since then he’s been on four other teams (Pacers, Hornets, Raptors, Mavericks). That means that this jersey is 6 years expired which is about 5 too many to wear...

DeMarcus Cousins doesn’t look like someone who is soft at heart. The center for the Sacramento Kings is regarded as a bit of a hot head. However, Cousins shows his romantic side in this video. Cousins describes his perfect Valentine’s Day date. It’s ridiculously cheesy and everyone can’t help but laugh. It’s a side of Cousins that is rarely seen...

Jimmer Fredette was known in college for his pure scoring ability. He single-handedly turned BYU into a national championship contender by having an uncanny ability to hit shots from anywhere on the floor. Defenders who covered Jimmer inside the three-point line quickly realized they had to come out past it. When defenders came out past the arc, Fredette knocked down shots from beyond...
