Kings' Miller: 'I Hate Losing'

Dec 28, 2008 5:57 PM EST

Kings' center Brad Miller admitted to the Sacramento Bee recently that he has a difficult time dealing with losing.

"I hate losing, hate it," said Miller. "I'm a real competitive person, and I get real grouchy and hard to be around. It's tough to get up mentally for games. I'm not a vocal person, but I'm trying to help Spence [Hawes] and Jason [Thompson] with the little things. ... There is a fine line between being successful or being out of the league, or being on the bench your whole career."

The Kings were 7-23 entering Sunday night's game against the Celtics.

Artest: Martin Is Better Than Reggie Miller

Dec 20, 2008 5:16 PM EST

Rockets' forward Ron Artest compared two of his old teammates recently and decided that Kings' guard Kevin Martin is better than retired Pacers' guard Reggie Miller.

"When he (Kevin Martin) was there (in Sacramento), he was always working hard," Artest said. "When Reggie Miller left (Indiana when Artest played there), nobody really did the things that Reggie Miller did. I see a lot of Reggie Miller (in Martin). He's actually better than Reggie Miller, but the only thing Reggie had on him was he was a better team defender than Kevin."

Kings Looking At Bringing Wallace Back?

Dec 20, 2008 5:06 PM EST

The Kings are rumored to have some interest in bringing Gerald Wallace back to town, but the Bobcats reportedly want Brad Miller in any possible trade.

Charlotte has been looking for someone to pair alongside Emeka Okafor in the paint, and while Sacramento is interested in Wallace, they have a surplus of wing players.

Wallace was claimed from the Kings by the Bobcats in the 2004 expansion draft.
