 Sacramento loves Thomas Robinson
By Patrick Dorsey

If you know his story, it's hard not to root for Thomas Robinson.

But if you're a Sacramento Kings fan, you're probably really cheering for the fifth overall NBA draft pick.

At least that's the conclusion we can draw after seeing the sights and sounds of the #TRobRally, held Saturday afternoon at a Sacramento mall and featuring several hundred (by Sacramento Bee columnist Ailene Voisin's estimate) fans celebrating the Kings' new Hero of Zero.

Above is a behind-the-scenes look from the Sacramento Kings.

Here's how it appeared, from the crowd:
