Maybe not quite yet. But still…
For a kid growing up a W’s fan in Sacramento (long before the Kings)—and then for that same kid (as an adult in the Bay Area now) to watch the Webber/Divac et al Kings develop an exciting whole-team (“Princeton”) passing game that became “the greatest show on court” and which shoulda/woulda/coulda won an NBA championship—the idea of the two teams becoming good together and forming a legitimate Northern California rivalry would seem a conjunction with historical necessity at its back.
And yet it’s never happened.
The last time the two teams played and were both above .
