VLADE CAMP
Click Here For Pictures from Vlade Camp (Thanks Kingsgurl)
	By: Kingsgurl Vlade looked good, pretty tan actually. I didn't see him doing wind sprints or anything so I can't make a judgement on how good of shape he is in. He did do a couple of dunks for the kids,
answered a bunch of their questions (some pretty good ones like 'how much money you make?' Vlade says what do you think? The kid says 'alot' Vlade says, 'yea, I think so too.') He was much easier to talk with than I thought. (I thought he would put in the appearance and leave, but he hung out, was talking with all the kids and the parents.) I got to chat with him a bit, he said he is really going to miss Jason, but Bibby will help us get to the next level. He kissed my 5 year old daughter on the cheek and signed her jersey (he's her favorite) She was psyched. He's a great guy, with a genuine love of kids.

THE KING IS BACK
LONG LIVE THE KING!

Hi everyone! I just got home about 10 minutes ago and have been reading the comments about the press conference

and the Welcome Webber Back gathering downtown. First of all there had to be a few thousand people crammed into that space; they threw 4000 T-shirts to the crowd and there were a lot of people who didn't get any; of course there were a few who got 2 or 3 but still they got rid of 4000 T-shirts. I think Chris was a little startled by how many people turned out; basically there wasn't an inch of space available and so many people all so close together made it very warm there. Thank goodness a breeze would come up once in a while. They introduced the Maloofs, then Petrie, then the Webbers, Jason, David, & Jeff, and Mayce,

where everyone finally took their places. (I'm describing this in as much detail as I can remember so those who didn't get to go can get a better picture of everything). Nearly everyone there had on some type of Kings shirt, jersey, hat, etc., even the little kids. A guy standing next to me had on a #5 jersey for Hedo, the girl in front of me had on a #16 for Peja and I saw 2 or 3 Barrys Pollards, Vlades, and of course several Webbers. There was nothing but applause and cheers for Chris and the Maloofs. Petire got a couple of boos which I don't understand but they didn't last long because people around those who tried to boo silenced them immediately. It's obvious Chris and Petrie get along very well. At one point Petrie was standing next to Jason Webber and when Chris was through waving at everyone he walked right to where Jason was and kind of scooted him over so he could stand next to Petrie. He said something to GP and they both laughed, then Petrie said something to him and they both laughed again. Chris & one of the Maloofs signed a fake "contract" in front of everyone. Both of the Maloofs said a few words as did Petrie and Mayce Webber. But the day belonged to Chris and everyone was sure he knew it. He thanked Petrie and the Maloofs and said they'd made him feel like family and then he thanked the fans, using the statements already posted. He also made mention that he'd always been taught to tell the truth and he knew that sometimes that got him into trouble but he was going to tell the truth again and that was when he made the statement about how he thought when he came to Sac 3 years ago that it was the worst thing that had ever happened to him but now he can see that, next to being drafted, it was the best thing that's ever happened to him and he considered his being traded to Sacramento a blessing. He hugged both the Maloofs which kind of made me think of Lurch hugging the Granny on Beverly Hillbillies because Chris is so much taller than either of the Maloofs so he had to bend over to hug them!

I waited outside the entrance to Macy's where all their cars were parked and I got almost next to the one Chris' 3 brothers and dad were going to get in (a big limousine). The Maloofs and Petrie came out first and everyone clapped and cheered for them and people were calling out "thank yous" to them. Petrie was even gracious enough to agree to have his picture taken with some young woman. Then David, Jason, and Jeff came out to get in the car. I yelled at Jeff, "jwebb the other brother". He looked right at me, winked and gave me a thumbs up. There is no doubt in my mind now that he posted on the Yahoo site. Mayce came next and got in the car with the 3 brothers. Chris of course, was the last to come out. You could hear people in Macy's clapping for him. When he came out he was high-fiving people all along the way, especially the kids. He had a huge grin on his face and before he got in his SUV (being driven by someone else) he turned around with a big grin on his face and said thank you so much and something else I couldn't hear for sure but someone else told me he said "I love you guys" then got in to leave.
