ARCO Arena

The soldier is the shoe.

So October 29th, 2003, opening night, the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Sacramento Kings, the old Arco Arena in Sacramento, Not the original Arco Arena, but the Arco Arena that most people know from the better days for Sacramento Kings fans.

Nearly 3 million people watched on TV, myself included.

He opens with two Swiss jumpers, one from each corner.

So here's the first game score for LeBron's Air Zoom generation, the AZG.

The moment, I'm going to give this a 1.

25 points, huge TV audience, ARCO Arena crowd.

That air ball, though, and the L, you got to take a point off for that.

So it leads us to today, the 6th of July.

We are in Sacramento, California in the ARCA Arena.

13,000 fans taped on June the 17th.

So not that long ago.

That's how we knew dad needed a ride home.

But he never used his handicap placard unless we went to a Sacramento Kings game because Arco Arena was gigantic.

That was the only time because he always said somebody was worse off than me.

Every picture that I ever have, he got his both knees and both hips fully replaced every other year, it seemed like.

That tells you how long ago that was.

I saw them at Arco Arena.

You know, I haven't really gone to a lot of hard rock kind of concerts, right? And you and I have discussed this before.

Yeah.

There was, there was times already when there was 8,000, 9,000 people in the stands.

I used to be at ARCO Arena watching the, watching the Mar- Monarchs.

And the guy from ESPN said, "I don't, I don't like the W, so I'm not, I don't-"

Mm-hmm.

So who would you attribute the development to if not just the head coach, but the coaching staffs are constantly changing? The same thing is true for DeMarcus Cousins.

DeMarcus Cousins was a stunningly talented individual when he walked through the door of, of, of ARCO Arena, of the practice facility in Natomas.

Who developed DeMarcus? The answer is DeMarcus.

DeMarcus and whoever he worked with, the answer is not Sacramento.

So we got Bret Hart versus Paul Roma.

This is from the 17th of June, 1991, Sacramento, California, in the Arco Arena.

Paul Roma managed by the Doctor of Style, Slick.

And here comes The Hitman.

Yeah

... parking lot at the Arco Arena.

Oh, gotcha.

Oh, the Arco Arena.

And so we used to go get season tickets.

Yeah.
