The funniest story of the NBA season so far:
The Sacramento Kings were fined $30,000 by the NBA yesterday for showing derogatory images of Detroit on video screens prior to their home opener against the Pistons.But did they also show people wearing throwback jerseys, bling, and other items prohibited by the dress code?When the Pistons were introduced Nov. 8, the Arco Arena scoreboard flashed pictures of abandoned buildings, burned-out cars, piles of rubble and other negative images of Detroit.
If you think Detroit-bashing is in fashion now, just wait until February, when every sports columnist in the country has to spend two weeks there before the Super Bowl.
