  • FRANCHISE HISTORY HISTORY of OWNERSHIP the Sacramento Kings Begin Their Second Season Under a Group Led by Owner Vivek Ranadivé
    FRANCHISE HISTORY HISTORY OF OWNERSHIP The Sacramento Kings begin their second season under a group led by Owner Vivek Ranadivé. The group succeeds the Maloof family, who sold the franchise in Spring 2013. The latest chapter in the franchise's ownership history began to take shape in April 2013 when the NBA's Relocation Committee unanimously recommended that the league's Board of Governors deny the application of the team to relocate to Seattle, Washington. The passion, will and vision Ranadive's group expressed for the future of the Kings in Sacramento lead the league's Board of Governors to unanimously approve the sale of the team on May 28, 2013. The Maloof family had owned the team for 14 seasons after taking control of the Kings and ARCO Arena on July 1, 1999. The Maloofs succeeded Jim Thomas, who had owned the franchise since April 6, 1992. The Maloof family’s interest in purchasing the Kings, Monarchs (WNBA) and ARCO Arena originated in 1997 when they contacted Thomas regarding the availability of the teams and arena. On January 14, 1998, the Maloofs completed the purchase of a minority limited partnership in the organization’s franchises and ARCO Arena. On January 15, 1999, the Maloofs subsequently purchased controlling interest, effective July 1, 1999. The NBA Board of Governors unanimously approved the ownership transfer on May 7, 1999, in New York, at which time the Board of Governors appointed Joe Maloof to the Board. The Kings franchise made its NBA debut in 1948 as the Rochester Royals under the ownership of Les Harrison.

  • A League Beset by Scandal Needs a Transcendent
    A league beset by scandal needs a transcendent star—and the WNBA has one in Elena Delle Donne, who puts up historic numbers as easily as she shuts up trolls and haters BY ANDREW LAWRENCE ELENA DELLE DONNE walked right into the double team. Had such a trap been set during a WNBA game or even a practice, she might have seen it coming. She is, after all, a surpassingly poised and fundamentally sound 6' 5" forward (6' 8" with bun) who is as comfortable spotting up for a three, facing up a traditional center in the paint or throwing down a dunk. But before Delle Donne could reach the comfort of the locker room at the Sky’s practice gym, she was ambushed by the Chicago’s social media manager, Lauren Niemiera, and videographer Amy Koeller, collectively armed with a laptop, a camera and an idea for a quick video shoot. The concept they had in mind, Mean Tweets, was familiar to Delle Donne from watching the bit on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in which celebrities read and react to unkind things said about them on Twitter. Photograph by She had already filmed one Mean Tweets episode, in Todd Rosenberg which the most caustic comments suggested that she marry a For Sports Illustrated certain Cavaliers guard so that the name on her jersey would read delle donne–dellavedova. Then on June 24, the night before CHICAGO’S HOPE this practice, Delle Donne scored a career-high 45 points in a 100–96 When she’s not hanging overtime defeat of the Atlanta Dream.

  • Gopher Basketball - the Assistant Coaches
    fv'\ i W 1 n'E', • University of Minnesota ({J) VoL XXI, No.3, May, 1984 It once was said that there were two major sports in Texas ... football and spring football. While that isn't the case here in the North Coun­ try, Lou Holtz has done what he could to bring spring football into that major sports category. 1n his first year at the hlem of the Golden Gophers, Holtz embarked on 20 days of spring practice with the same kind of enthusiasm that he treats everything else, and it was contagious. Hotlz was de~ermined to hold a Spring Game that would get his youthful Minnesota football off on the right foot in its preparations for the 1984 season. Holtz wanted a big crowd, a pro­ duction, a night of college football with people involved. Several local firms jumped on the bandwagon. Twin Cities Federal was the leader, and im­ mediately purchased 10,000 tickets which it plan­ ned to distribute through its area outlets. G. Heilman Brewing Company, brewers of Schmidt Beer in St. Paul, also pitched in as did Republic Airlines. It obviously became a team el­ fort, and as Holtz had hoped, "everybody who shoveled snow" got involved. But the cr.thusiasm generated by Holtz for football was' apparent in other ways. Ken Buell, U of M athletic ticket manager, opened an "Ear­ ly Bird Season Ticket Sale" for the first time in U ofM Athletic Director Paul Giel accepts a check for $9,576, representing the sale of /33 new history in Gold Country, and about 5,000 season tickets were sold.
