Marty's a legend in Sacramento, just ask the NBA players, who dedicate half an hour of their postgame time to one-on-one interviews with him. I've seen it myself. He's well-respected in all areas of the game. On that note, I disagree with Marty's opinion here. The Rookie of the Year Award is a huge honor. Tyreke Evans is only one man and can only control what he does on the court. He single-handedly carried the team this year to 25 wins as a rookie, and he is being honored for doing so. While fans would like to see a playoff run, they have to appreciate having a current and future star gracing their home court each night.

Anyone else who doubted Geoff Petrie now believe he's the genius he's been labeled for so many years? Drafting Evans may just be the best move the Kings have ever made. What happened to all the pre-draft cries for Ricky Rubio? They've certainly been silenced.

While Faber's heart is worth a story of its own, and the Sacramento Press is a hometown paper, wec48fight is right that Aldo's brilliance shouldn't be overshadowed. Faber was in great shape for that fight, and prepared as he could be for Aldo, who seems to be one of the best pound-for-pound in the world. The story of the fight was Faber being overmatched, and as proud as he is, he gutted out all five rounds. He'll be back, but Aldo is the top dog here for sure.
