Mitch Richmond's story about getting traded to the Kings is one of the funniest things ever

[duckbutta]

Asked his agent if he could retire

 

[Mandizi]

Bruh had just exited his prime by the time he got traded to the Wiz, he was a shell of his former self. On the flipside that's when Webb entered his prime years and along with Divac, Peja, White Chocolate, and Coach Adleman, transformed the Kings into a playoff contender. That franchise's best years in Sacramento. One of the most monumental trades in modern NBA history.

IMO Mitch was the 3rd best shooting guard in the NBA during the 90's after MJ and Clyde, above Reggie.

same shyt is true til this very day. Sacramento is just a spot on the map in the NBA, they never compete.

outside of the c-webb teams they always sucked as far as i can remember

 

[Mister Terrific]

It’s always cool when great players really do care about winning and improving their craft.

 

[MJ Truth]

I totally forgot the warriors had mitch with a young chris mullin and tim hardaway.

that said, mitch richmond became synonymous with the kings. plus it all worked out at the end. he put up numbers on the kings, made all star games and then got traded to the lakers just in time to get a ring

to keep it funky, his years with the kings is what got him in the HOF and his jersey retired.

Breh, Mitch was a great player. He would have made the Hall playing anywhere else, and would have won more and been happier.

I mean he made the cover of Live. That's some kind of accomplishment

Back when Live was pretty good
