I'm very excited that Donté Greene is bringing basketball back to Sacramento. After our community fought so hard to keep the Kings, it will be great to see the players back in town playing the game we love so much! I've already purchased my tickets and am looking forward to the Goon Squad Classic on 12/20. If you haven't gotten yours yet, you can get them at Tickets.com.

While Donté is in town, he'll also be hosting a charity poker tournament which will benefit the American Diabetes Association. More details for the event can be found here and below:  www.sacpokertournament.com.

Between both of these events, we'll finally have some fun activities related to basketball this weekend!
