It seems like in the past 5 years or so, every freakin team in the league has changed, tinkered, or overhauled their uniforms/team colors. Some just sport sick throwbacks for at least 10 games to mix it up a bit. But what do the Kings do? They wear one of the ugliest jerseys to honor their Sixth Man...bleh.  My friends and I are diehard Kings fans, yet we never sport any gear because purple and black is such a horrible color combination.  I'm praying they go back to their roots w/ the Red, White and Blue scheme or maybe a little baby blue mixed with red and white would be sweet. If a major change isn't in the future, at least bring back an alternate black color for the road. On a side note, try to find Spencer Hawes in this picture. It's not that hard considering what he's wearing.

So I was really bored tonight or well this morning and remembered a journal page I read about awhile back about NBA per diem. It was former Denver Nuggets player Mark Pope's journal about their road trips and their per diem or cash allowances players receive on the road. It gave some insight on how this worked and details about how traveling with the Nuggets were like. You can find that journal here...

After reading this, I only wanted to know more about the inner workings of traveling and the per diem of an NBA player. Another search gave me an even better article from the Rocky Mountain News, again about the Denver Nuggets and their per diem allowance. It was funny to read how players spend their extra cash on roadtrips, especially former Sactown player Jamal Sampson aka the "Subway King"
Here's that article: http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/nba/article/0,2777,DRMN_23922_5427887,00.html

I guess you can throw Ron Artest in the same category as Dr. Phil.  

"Ron, I'm thinking about popping the question to my girl. How should I do it?" - Calvin

Ron says, "First you gotta have sex one last time, you know, and tell her you love her. You should probably take her out to a simple dinner, nothing too crazy. Keep it simple, because a lady is looking for the little things. If she wants to be with you forever, she'll like that."
