To Any Kings Player: Who would you say is the best defensive stopper on the team?
To Jason Thompson: You are the teams Power Forward, but with Sean May starting at Center, you will be the tallest player on the court for the Kings, do you see yourself using that to be more defensive minded - such as going for more blocked shots and rebounds? Which Kings player do you most enjoy battling for rebounds against in practice?
To Kevin Martin: How is your ankle??? Hypothetical question, with 2 seconds left on the clock, you are at the top of the key, do you go for the shot or try to get fouled and go to the line?
More questions available on demand.
- Do you have a pre-game ritual/meal before every game? If so, could you please share?
- Most Embarassing moment on the court?
- Did anyone inspire you to play ball growing up? If so, who?
- What is the weirdest thing a fan asked you to sign?
- Sacramento loves our team and our players. Do you get stopped alot around town by fans like myself and talk to you like you are long lost friends?
- Do you read articles about the team and yourself? If I had a regular article on Sacramento Press on the Kings where I would rip or praise the team based on performance, would you ever gloss over it?
- How do you feel about me as Joe Fan interviewing you right now over news scribe that writes about you for a living?
- Us fans didn't see last year's record coming. What can the fans expect from this year's team??
Casspi: A year ago you were still playing basketball overseas. How different is the NBA compared to playing in Israel?
Tyreke Evans: Last Friday, your assignment was to guard, who is widely considered the best point guard in the NBA, Chris Paul. You took out a major facet of his game by limiting him to four assists and he turned the ball over four times. How did it feel to go against a top five player in the league?
Kevin Martin: You've played with this team through the pre-season and for three regular season games. What is different about this year's team?
Martin: How has Tyreke Evans impacted the way you play?
Desmond Mason: In the first two games against the Thunder and the New Orleans Hornets you were in familiar places because you played for both teams. You also played at the Ford Center for the Hornets when they were displaced because of Hurricane Katrina. You saw a lot of familiar faces on both teams. What did it feel like going into those two games?
Mason: There's a video on YouTube where you do a rap for the Hornets. Do you have any plans for making one for the Kings, especially while Flavor Flav is in town?
Sean May: At 6'9, your starting at center, which seems short compared to many other NBA teams. You usually play power forward, are you accustomed to playing against other centers?
May: You've missed a lot of games due to injury and weight issues, but you came to training camp in great shape, you've played well and you're starting now. Do you feel like you have something to prove? Why or why not?
Francisco Garcia: Your arm injury sidelined you until the NBA All-Star break but your impact can still be felt with you mentoring Omri Casspi, even before the injury. Why did you take him under your wing?
Garcia: What do you like about Casspi's game?
Jason Thompson: You've had some tough assignments early this season playing Emeka Okafor, David West, Zach Randolph and, who is widely considered the greatest power forward ever to play, Tim Duncan. What have you learned from playing against them?
Thompson, May, Garcia, Donte Greene: Many athletes use Twitter to interact with their followers. What's your view on using Twitter?
Thompson, May, Gacia, Greene: Do you think the NBA established fair restrictions on the use of Twitter?
Rookies: What have you learned in your short time in the league?
Any Player: What is your role for the team?
Any player: How has the revamped coaching staff helped you so far?
Having been in the league for some time, what is your best piece of advice to your rookie teammates about adjusting the professional level of basketball?
