I don't care what anyone else says - I think our mascot is among the very best in the business. While doing some research on various team mascots, I came across an article from November 7,2013 I found very interesting:

Q. What do you like about Sacramento?
A.
There’s so much about it I like. The first thing that comes to mind on that is the fans. Of all the places I’ve traveled I’ve never been to a fan base where the team might not have been the best every year, but their fan base is loyal. We sold out 19 of the past 27 years. The fans are unreal. I’m so thankful the team stayed in Sacramento. I get goose bumps just talking about it.
While it's interesting to hear the back story, I don't really care who he is when he's not Slamson. All I know is the Sacramento Kings and their fans are incredibly lucky to have him!

Next time you're at G1C, be sure and give a shout out to the best mascot in the NBA.

Wasn't there an article in the Sacramento Bee a number of years ago as well? I did a quick google search but couldn't find it. Talked about some of the same things as this article, I believe.

I didn't see anything but I'll admit...I was so happy when I found this I didn't really look any further. :)
