When Pierre and I moved to Sacramento in late 1998, the Kings had their first winning season in 16 years. And for every year we were there, the trend continued. (Although, sadly, even though they came close, they never won a NBA championship).

Pierre and I drove into Dallas to set up our new residence on Saturday just in time to see the Mavericks win the Western Division Championship and gain a berth in the NBA Finals. A first for the Dallas team.

We are thinking about offering our good luck karma to other NBA cities, selling ourselves to the highest bidder and moving to their fair city.

Oh, no, was that Detroit that started the bidding?
