Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Lakers-Kings rivalry describes the rivalry between two National Basketball Association teams, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Sacramento Kings. Their often tense meetings have inspired a rivalry between the teams as well as their respective fans. The rivalry is recent, having started in 2000, as both teams rose to prominence, but has taken on a number of different dimensions, such as Northern California vs. Southern California, state capital vs. largest city. Lakers center Shaquille O''Neal infamously called the Sacramento Kings team the "Sacramento Queens" as an insult, and Lakers coach Phil Jackson called the city an "old cow town", to which Kings fans responded by clanging cow bells at home games against the Lakers and burning Laker jerseys before games. During the Lakers'' 2002 championship parade, O''Neal said "Sacramento will never be the capital of California. Los Angeles is the new capital of California." The rivalry has lessened due to the trading of Shaquille O''Neal as well as the Kings'' decline in status as a major NBA power.
