Chris Kaman had the temerity to suggest the Kings might have been "sandbagging" in their phenomenally bad loss to the Clippers Friday. He's wrong -- the Kings have been that bad all season. Kaman has just been too busy in the doctor's office licking his wounds to notice. But whatever the case, I can assure you that the Kings' promotions staff is not mailing it in. Introducing the SlamWow!:


If you need background ... well, you need to watch more T.V. The original ShamWow! has been ubiquitous for almost a year, and Rusty Prevatt of the Kings nails the impersonation. (Rusty's the cat who flings t-shirts, runs the half-court shot giveaway and directs jersey retirements at ARCO Arena.) (EDIT: I'm an idiot. - TZ)

Slamson is the Kings' mascot. (Yes, the Kings have a Bible-themed mascot.) He frightens some people. A lot of people, actually.
