Cowbells!

Food poisoning.

Cowbells ringing!

Questionable officiating.

Obnoxious and annoying cowbells!

Accusations that Los Angeles Lakers fans are lame and don’t get as loud during the playoffs as Sacramento Kings fans do for a regular season game.

Headache from cowbells…

A not-rivalry according to Mr. Kobe Bryant who claimed, “That wasn't a rivalry. The Kings never beat us.”

Not even a decade removed from this Kings era that got rowdier, louder, and looked forward to playing the hated Lakers more than anyone, the Kings have vanished.

Lakers games in Sacramento have turned into another home game. Half of last night’s crowd in the state capital was in purple and gold. 

The loudest cheers of the night were for the Lake Show following the Machine’s dunk (a dunk that I still can’t get enough of). It even prompted Kobe to jokingly say, “I've seen it all. Sasha dunked on somebody. I'm ready to retire now.”

Kobe could retire and order all the cheeseburgers and cheesecakes he wants without fear of food poisoning now as he’s proud and confident to admit that:

“Nobody’s gonna mess with me now. There's nothing but Laker fans here now. It was basically a home game for us, it really was. Things have changed quite a bit."

Yes, things certainly have.

In fact, the Sacramento Kings, or should I say Sacramento Queens, should no longer be entitled to either name.

They should henceforth be known as the Sacramento Traitors.
