"When he was done, he just hung up there for two minutes looking at them," said Roger Craig, the former San Francisco 49ers star who is now an executive at Tibco and a close friend of Ranadive's. "He said to them, 'I can do more. You want me to do more?' "

Along with his drive – he soundly defeated another Tibco executive in a push-up contest by completing 150 – Ranadive brings a hands-on leadership style, Craig said. He has been known to pitch in on sales calls at Tibco, a $1 billion-a-year software firm in Palo Alto that specializes in data analysis and e-commerce.

"He hates to lose," Craig said. "I don't care if someone's grandmother is on the tennis court, he's going to beat that person."

In an interview Friday, Ranadive acknowledged his ultra-competitive side. He said his first order of business is to ensure the sale of large numbers of season tickets for Kings games. After that, he said, "we want to restore this team to its former greatness."

Must be doing the Bruce Lee workouts. Looking at the pictures of him, he looks rather frail.

Kings players in Sacramento are basically what they are, KINGS. Dudes own the Sac-town nightlife scene. Big fish in a small pond, get all the Ratchets, and you're Head Honcho.

Not just them, but opposing players too 

Seeing Josh Childress and Tyshawn Taylor do work at Dive Bar a few months ago was  and  at the same time. And I don't think anyone even really knew who Taylor was 

I know for a fact JT and Outlaw actually like it here. And from my conversation with Carl Landry the summer after he got traded to NOH, he definitely liked it here too. There's a reason why he still has his home at Morgan Creek.

See if Arco wants to rebuy the naming rights too.

Cosign all of this.

But I'd be cool with just a slightly update version of the old jerseys, like keep the font and change up the piping a little.

I don't really think it'd be for the best if they just wore throwbacks every game 

should we have an off/next season thread?

I'll leave it to Mister916 to make it, I hate starting threads 

what was the most expensive free agent we've signed in the last 5 years??? Chuck Hayes?

JT seems like the cat that would be Mr. Natomas when it's all said and done . Dude always out and about
