Downturn NBA


Heard that the Maloofs are flying commercial now. They are best known as the owners of the Sacramento Kings of the NBA and their sister team, the Sacramento Monarchs. Kings was a team which I used to support but when they shipped out Doug Christie and lost Peja and Webber, I called it quits and moved on. Anyway they have been having trouble filling the Arco Arena with the bad season they are having this year.

No more bubbly on the private jets for the Maloofs. Every trip is commercial airlines now. Guess the Vegas industry isn't as strong as it used to be - they own the Palms hotel and casino on the strip. And with the stocks on all casino shares for cheap, it will be hard to maintain the lifestyle they used to live. I remember watching on NBA that they flew out on their private jet to speak to Ron Artest and how he felt about coming over to Sacramento then back home to speak to the coach before making the trade.
