Shaqramento

What do you do when your team is a part of what is considered one of the worst franchises in sports history? If you're the Sacramento Kings you add the glitz and glamour of a big name and hope/pray/meditate that it helps get even just a win or two. On Monday, September 23,2013 the Sacramento Kings organization announced that Shaquille O'Neal was buying a small portion of their franchise. That's right, O'Neal was joining forces with his formal rival. Within moments of the announcement #Shaqramento was a trending topic on many social media sites. Some people were mad and some people were happy. I am sure that anyone in the Kings organization would agree with the famous quote by Oscar Wilde, "There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about". The Kings are in a position where the only place they can go is up. O'Neal states it perfectly, "Worst is at the bottom, which means you can't get no worser. And there's no such thing as worser, which means we can only get better. And we will get better. Once that new arena comes, once that new downtown is up, once we have a conversation with the players and get everybody to step up, they'll be knocking on the door." Some might be rolling their eyes at this latest development. Personally, I think it is a great opportunity for everyone in the Kings organization to learn something. After all, Shaq does have a doctorate degree in Education, so instead of Coach O'Neal, you might be saying Dr.O'Neal.
