Number 1 Fan

If you didn't already know this, I was born and lived in Sacramento, CA til I was 8 years old.  My family is a HUGE basketball family as well.  So growing up we always had season passes to the Kings games.  It was so fun to be able to go to the game with my dad and just spend time with him.  The boys would always complain when it was Katy or I's turn to go to the game.  They would say we were just in it for the fun food.  (They were probably right.)  Anyway.  I remember this one particular time at a game, these guys in front of us had beer.  But to me it looked like apple juice.  At the age of 6 I didn't know what beer even was.  So I told my dad I wanted some of that! And he explained to me that it was not indeed apple juice but another alcoholic drink and we do not drink that.  Good enough for me, I got a sprite instead. 
Back in the day, the Kings and the Lakers were huge rivals.  They would always go back and forth with their winning and we have always hated the Lakers because of that.  I really loved watching the games on TV after we moved to Vegas.  It was a huge deal at our house.  Since then, the Kings have kind of gone downhill and they have had rough times but the Tatoms have ALWAYS and will ALWAYS stand by our Kings!! There is simply no other way to put it.  But now, I am a little annoyed.  I understand that everyone and their mom is Jimmer's Number 1 Fan and all, but I really can't wait until he is traded again and he is off our team because the only reason they like the Kings is because of Jimmer!!!! So annoying to me and my sibs! Sure, it's kinda dramatic but whatever. 
This weekend is the Kings vs. Jazz game in SLC.  Unfortunately, we have company in town and will not be attending the game, but part of me is glad because I don't know if I could handle sitting around all these BYU Jimmer fans talking about him the whole time.  I mean I don't have anything against the guy, but I just don't appreciate all the bandwagoners cause of him.  Plus, he is not even doing that well!! Okay my rant is over.  If you are one of those fans and I have offended you, I apologize.  But I just had to get that out!!
