Kings Blog and Q&A

News, observations and reader questions about the Sacramento Kings and the NBA.

Being Hector Amezcua

His name is Hector Amezcua, and he's more than just an obstacle.
At least three times per Kings home game, I nearly spill my coffee while maneuvering around a squatting Hector on the baseline en route to my seat. That, however, is part of the routine at Arco Arena, where Hector is immersed in this hoops world as he sees it through his lens and it's up to those around him to stay out of his way. And really, it's in all of our best interest.
Let the man work, and he'll produce the same fabulous work you Kings fans have been enjoying for years. As the Kings can attest, passion for the job has everything to do with the final product. Thus, meet our MVP...

THOUGHTS/COMMENTS?

So we have no shortage of web traffic - which is appreciated - but you folks seem to have stopped commenting since some hacker shut that feature down for a few days a while back. And unless you simply can't live without those high-brow arguments with NNA at end of each Kings story, then take some of those conversations over this way where you might actually get answers to your questions or, at the very least, be able to share your insights with a little less friction. For starters, how about some feedback on this sort of multimedia presentation that we're trying to provide more often. - Sam Amick

About Comments

Reader comments on Sacbee.com are the opinions of the writer, not The Sacramento Bee. If you see an objectionable comment, click the "report abuse" button below it. We will delete comments containing inappropriate links, obscenities, hate speech, and personal attacks. Flagrant or repeat violators will be banned. See more about comments here.

What You Should Know About Comments on Sacbee.com

Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)

Here are some rules of the road:

• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.

• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.

• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.

• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.

If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to feedback@sacbee.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.
