Season 2004/05 of the National Basketball League is about to slide into full scale motion and the mind games and territorial land rights have already started between cross city rivals the West Sydney Razorbacks and reigning champions, the Sydney Kings.
Making a guest appearance at Cabramatta's Moon Festival yesterday, three players from the Sydney Kings—along with some radio DJ from The Edge 96.1 running under the moniker of Sharpy—where on show for the main stage surrounded by moon cakes, dancers and little children walking around with lighted (and flammable) paper lanterns.
Not a sight was seen of any players official from the region's basketball team of the Razorbacks. In the absence of such, it may seem like the Kings are invading the grounds of the Razorbacks and taking things to logical steps. As a sign of defiance, of encroachment and encapsulation of the fans from the West left without even the slightest back handed gesture for the residents.
