Sacramento Kings Set To Reopen Practice Facility Monday Under Stringent Guidelines (via NBCSAuthentic)
For 35 seasons, the legendary Gary Gerould has called Sacramento Kings games either on the radio or as a television broadcaster. There was even a short window where he did both as part of a simulcast.
He was there for the first-ever postseason game in Kings history in 1986. He was also around to see the amazing first-round matchup between the Kings and the Seattle Supersonics during the 1995-96 season. And like so many others, the 2002 Western Conference Finals broke his heart and still stings to this day.
The Kings lost in a brutal seven-game series to Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal and the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers squad that would go on to sweep the New Jersey Nets in the Finals. The Kings never again have made it that deep in the postseason over the last 18 years.Those moments of near misses linger. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Gerould partnered with Tim Roye for six seasons on the Kings broadcast.
“He went through a lot of really tough years in his now, what, 25 years with the Golden State Warriors,” Gerould said of Roye. “He now has three championship rings in his collection and I envy that so much.”
