Sacramento Kings, 2010-11

I like a lot of the pieces on the Kings--the young guys like Cousins and Thompson, Francisco Garcia's gravity, Thornton's dominance since being traded from the Hornets--and I would love it if Geoff Petrie would keep the squad together and try and pick up the momentum they had for the last month of the season. I have a feeling it's not going to happen. I think the difference between Daniels' "Only the strong survive" and Jackson's "Suicide is not an option" pretty much spells out the almost-but-actually-not-at-all chemistry the team has. -- Players with tattoos: DeMarcus Cousins   On Cousins' left arm is a spider sitting in a web that stretches from his shoulder to his elbow, marked with the text: "stuck in the game." On his right arm is a basketball wearing a crown with a banner that reads "king of the game." Game! Marquis Daniels Daniels is without question one of the most tattooed players in the league, and bearer of one of the most stressful tattoos in the world: beneath the text "only the strong survive," a man commits suicide with a rifle. When asked about the tattoo, Daniels explained, "“If you’re not strong, you’re willing to do anything to find a way out.” Donte Greene Until the arrival of Daniels, Green was the most heavily tattooed player on the Kings. While more recent photos reveal the tattoo on his right shoulder to be a ball passing through a hoop, surrounded by flames, tell me it didn't look like Cousin It wearing a top hat back in his rookie year. Darnell Jackson  Jackson just got on twitter in March of 2011. Less than 60 tweets in, he posted a heartbreaker on March 25, the anniversary of his mother's suicide. While Jackson has quite a few tattoos, including a tribute to his deceased grandmother on his left shoulder, it's the one for his mother--the text "suicide is not an option" on his wrist--that he leans on the most: "If I'm out here working out or if I'm sitting in a room or if I'm working out in the weight room, I always just take a glance at my wrist and be like, 'Suicide is not an option.'" Pooh Jeter  The internet is seriously fronting on Jeter and the tattoo that occasionally peeks out of the left side of his jersey. I can't find a photo anywhere. Jermaine Taylor   Taylor has both arms pretty much covered. Marcus Thornton   Among Thornton's many tattoos is a line of text along his collar that reads: "Protected by God I fear no man."
