Golden 1 Center

You need a Sherpa to get to that seat.

The G1C was half full when the Kings played the California Classic.

You had three or four sections full for the draft party.

Fans were cheering when Darius Acuff was drafted.

[laughs] I can't wait to talk about that game.

I was at, I was at the Golden 1 Center last night, and I had the, uh, the privilege of, of, uh, welcoming, uh, the Golden 1 Center to the Rod Wave, uh, Don't Look Down Tour last night.

And fantastic experience, uh, am- amazing people there on the tour.

Uh, but really, like, I left...

So we're, we're gonna, we're gonna get you out there, uh, about 8:50, 9:00, and, and that's when you'll welcome everybody in." So it's, like, 7:00, and he's like, "You, you know, you could...

You have a pass.

You can really do whatever you want." So I, I grabbed some food, went up to the concourse, you know, met some people, met some 102.5 listeners, met some ESPN 1320 listeners, talked with all the Golden 1 Center people about basketball, and then I went down.

I was like, "Yo, I'll just watch the game." So I'll just sit in our media area and, and watch the Kings and, and the Lakers.

Y- you have a pass.

Brother, you lived off that goodwill for so goddamn long.

That goodwill of DOCO, that goodwill of, of, of the Golden 1 Center, that goodwill of the Kings are your team forever.

You lived off that for so long, my dude.

And I think it's kinda worn thin for everybody.

Emmanuel Sharp is, and we've talked about how guys like Emmanuel Sharp who we think fits the mold of what Doug Christie is looking for.

He fits the mold of what Doug Christie tells us he's looking for from a, a, a defensive and physicality standpoint.

Doug was very frustrated with the way this basketball team played on Monday at the Golden 1 Center.

He was not frustrated about Emmanuel Sharp.

Now, Malik, who knows? Domas, who knows? My guess is actually Domas either comes back and doesn't play Tuesday, or doesn't play tomorrow and plays Tuesday.

Our original speculation was Domas plays two of the preseason games, and I, I, I think that winds up happening, and wouldn't it be better for... to have Domantas Sabonis out there in, in front of the Golden 1 Center crowd? Unless, unless the plan is to not play Ben Simmons in front of the Golden 1 Center crowd, because I would think you want Domantas Sabonis and Ben Simmons out there at, at, at least in the same lineup at some point.

What's the status of Keegan Murray? My thing with Keegan, I understand, like, he's dealing with it.

Like, at some point, like, he gonna come back and play basketball.

I was so confused why the score was so low when I sat down to watch it last night.

I was at the Golden 1 Center to introduce Rod Wave as Don't Look Down Tour.

And I was just sitting in what is our media area during the season.

And I was so, I'm like, all right, let me try to catch up.

Question four on the list of seven Kings questions that are Kings questions every year: Can the Kings reestablish home court advantage this year? Every year, Alan.

'Cause you got that great atmosphere, and you got the building, and you got the Golden 1 Center, and old ARCO, the old ARCO used to rock.

Hey, is this the year they, they, uh, turn that around and reestablish home court? I remember talking to Jordy about that-

Mm-hmm

I think Emmanuel Sharp dove for a loose ball and was on the deck like three or four times last night.

I said, if there's a bet for this, Emmanuel Sharp's going to lead the Sacramento Kings in standing ovations at the Golden 1 Center this year as long as he plays.

Love the dude.

Love them, and I can see why Doug Christie does.
