The Sacramento Kings are absolutely ugly at the forward position. That’s bad news if you’re a Kings fan, but great news if you happen to follow Jon Brockman. Naturally, you know which side of the fence we sit on.
The 2009-2010 Kings will feature a group of forwards that breaks down as follows:
Brockman would be reunited with former Husky Spencer Hawes if traded to Sacramento.
Former University of Washington forward Jon Brockman was selected with the 38th overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft by the Portland Trailblazers.
Currently, a trade is pending which would send Jon from Portland to Sacramento in exchange for former Arizona State University forward Jeff Pendergraph.
Portland and Sacramento were rumored to be two of the likeliest destinations for Brockman, and he will have an opportunity to become an impact player with either ballclub as a rookie.
On behalf of Seattle sports fans, congratulations to Jon!
Call it a vintage SWAG list (Stuff We All Get). These days you’re more apt to see kids at the ballpark receive bobblehead dolls or tacky, cheap knick-knacks rather than the awesome SWAG we used to take home as youngsters back in the day.
That’s why we’ve come up with 11 of the greatest stadium promotional giveaways of our era and memorialized them in the following list. Like toys in Cracker Jack boxes or LPs on vinyl, they don’t make ‘em like this anymore.
11. Team Trading Card Day
Kids today still receive baseball cards at the ballpark. But unlike yesteryear, the baseball cards of today are a mishmash of brands and ballplayers that are often presorted into sealed grab bags out of some dude’s collection.
