Who's The Greatest Member Of The Kings Franchise; All Era's Considered ?
Between these 5 below. I know it's got to be 1 of these 5. NOTE: I put Reggie, despite him probably not quite comparing to the other 4, for two simple reasons.
First, he's not as good, but does infact compare actually, and was the first of these 5 to wear a Kings uniform in Sacramento era.
Second, he's spectacular, and along with Vlade Divac, served as a Heart and Sole for the Kings at that time, was the biggest reason for the Kings making the Post season ironically their first season here; one of only two times in Sacramento era before Rick Adelman turned the Sac mess up. And while he was the one man show, on a team lacking depth in the Kings team in the earlier days, as Mitch was for a while in the latter years, this earned Reggie Theus a special place in Kings hearts fans for all the ages to come as a fan favorite.
- Also along side Harold Presley, LaSalle "Tank" Thompson, is the only King, that I know of, that to this day has his main residance in Granite Bay! -
