Tyreke Evans powers the Kings over the Denver Nuggets
The Sacramento Press called me Friday afternoon to see if I would be able to cover tonight's game against the Denver Nuggets. I jumped at the opportunity to get media credentials and be able to walk behind the scenes at Arco. Go Kings! THE PRESS LOUNGE: Free food for the media. The “dinner of champions." A countdown clock in the Press Lounge shows how much time is left before the game starts. Look at me, I'm part of the press. I got to sit courtside, right by the Denver bench.

Sac Press contest winner interviews Kings
I arrived at the practice facility at 2:30 p.m. and entered the media room. The room was filled with chairs looking out on the court where, beyond the one-way mirror, the Kings were scrimmaging.

Conversation about: Kings Writing Contest - Win Opening Night Prize Package & Exclusive Access
To Tyreke Evans: Do you see yourself in 5 years playing Point Guard or Shooting Guard? When Beno Udrih and you are both on the court, he is the Point Guard and you are the Shooting Guard, do you prefer that dynamic? Especially with Kevin Martin playing the small forward?

To Jason Thompson: You are the teams Power Forward, but with Sean May starting at Center, you will be the tallest player on the court for the Kings, do you see yourself using that to be more defensive minded - such as going for more blocked shots and rebounds? Which Kings player do you most enjoy battling for rebounds against in practice? To Kevin Martin: How is your ankle???
