A pretty uninformed and ignorant statement.
He was given chances and more chances. Don't get too excited. He was good here his first year, too. Don't expect ANYTHING from him when Bibby comes back and he goes down to bench minutes.
A pretty uninformed and ignorant statement.
You're ing kidding right?
Check it out...

Beno is listed as one of the "Top Performers" for the night! Who knew?
Nah...seriously, I say good for him. I hope Sacramento works out for him.
^^Wow!! I cant believe it.
Jettison means discard.
I doubt any team will discard themselves to the NBA Finals!
I think you meant "propel" or something similar.
Beno would be an Allstar in the Eastern Conference.
i don't understand why everyone on this board hated him. he was always a good player with a clean stroke. way better than vaughn imo.
Because he didn't give a .
His words about the Spurs say it all: Beno is a classy guy.
But props to him, he had a career night.
Just don't forget when posters here wanted Parker to be traded to make room for Beno: yes he can be good, though no consistent at all. Can he change?

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Unwanted in San Antonio, Beno Udrih appears to have found a home with the Sacramento Kings.
Udrih had 23 points and six assists to help the Kings beat the Detroit Pistons 105-95 on Sunday night.
Udrih, a late preseason cut by San Antonio who came to the Kings as a backup when Mike Bibby was injured just prior to the season, has quickly become a starter. He showed why against the Pistons, hitting 9 of 13 shots from the field and all five of his free throw attempts and fueling a strong second half by the Kings.
"I chose this team because I knew I would get an opportunity to play; I didn't get that in San Antonio," said Udrih, who played three seasons with the Spurs and owns two championship rings.
"Playing regular minutes has helped my confidence. In San Antonio I never knew how much I would play. I won't come out here if I miss one or two shots in a row."
Udrih hardly missed anything in the third quarter when he scored 15 points, including 11 in a stretch where the Kings outscored Detroit 15-1 to take the lead after trailing by nine points.
"He had an unbelievable game in the third quarter," Detroit coach Flip Saunders said. "He made shots and he made plays. He's been playing extremely well for them."
But Udrih had plenty of help, as the Kings won for a second straight time and improved to 4-1 at home. Kevin Martin had his first sub-20-point game, but still finished with 19 points and eight rebounds. Ron Artest scored 16, Brad Miller had 15 points and nine rebounds, and Mikki Moore added 10 points and nine rebounds.
Tayshaun Prince scored 19 points for the Pistons, who have lost two straight. Rasheed Wallace had 17 points and 12 rebounds, Richard Hamilton scored 17 and Chauncey Billups contributed 14 points and nine assists.
"Our team grew up tonight playing a tough, tough team like Detroit in a grind-it-out game," Kings coach Reggie Theus said. "From a confidence standpoint, winning against an upper-echelon team builds confidence."
Clinging to a 94-92 lead, Martin hit two free throws after Wallace and Detroit assistant coach Dave Cowens both drew technical fouls for arguing a call. Miller, who was fouled by Wallace on a drive to the basket, hit two more free throws to put the Kings ahead 98-92 with 2:17 left, and the Pistons never got any closer.
"You make it halfway down the court, then you decide to call it?" said Wallace, referring to the call coming late that resulted in his first technical this season. "You know, it's crazy. But we let them hang around."
It was the end of a five-game trip for the road-weary Pistons, who went 2-3 and have opened the season by playing eight of 10 games away from home. Detroit starts a five-game homestand Wednesday against New York.
"It was a bad road trip in my eyes," said Billups, who had missed the two previous games with injuries.
Great game Beno!
Beno's confidence was destroyed in SA, for whatever reason or cause.
I hope this game shows he's recovering his confidence and growing mentally to match his physical abilities. He's still young and can still pull his head out of his immature ass.
his rookie year, was probably his best at showing us what he had
2nd year NVE AND POP destroyed it
3rd i love to party sink in
Good job Beno!
Keep it coming.
Nice game by Beno. He has always been immensely talented. When he's all about basketball, he's a really nice player.
It's up to Beno now to stay focused.
Usually you jettison garbage or an unwanted object out of your house or car etc.........
The Kings and Magic being the garbage that they are actually jettison rather than propel.
Magic are actually playing well this season though.
The Spurs are quickly becoming the Walmart of the NBA. Just for cap space if ya need a baller, we will give ya one for nothing. Scola to the Rockets and Beno to the Kings.
Beno's looking good. Still, I have no regrets about trading him. He had his chance here and blew it.
One mans trash is another mans treasure I guess?The Spurs are quickly becoming the Walmart of the NBA. Just for cap space if ya need a baller, we will give ya one for nothing. Scola to the Rockets and Beno to the Kings.
But if the Spurs are wal-mart, then that would make the Rockets like a 99 cent store right?
He proved wrong all the people who never believed he had the talent.
Now let's see if he can prove wrong those of us who claimed he didn't have the mental toughness/desire to succeed. Bibby's return will probably be the deciding moment.
Beno for most improved player of the 08 season? Now that would be ironic!
Let's see if he stays in shape and stop partying...
Let's see how he handles going back to the bench once Bibby returns.
All he's proving right now is that he can play in the NBA when he wants to, and bring effort when he's getting a chance to start...
He'd already proved that. He's also proved that he can be a lazy cancerous ass when he's not happy with his role as well.
If Beno recieved the wake up call...more power to him. But it probably wouldn't have happened if he'd been allowed to stay here. And if he will keep up his level of play once he goes into a similar role with the Kings, remains to be seen.
Here's hoping the splash of cold water he recieved when the world champs dumped him on his ass...keeps him awake.
His first start with the Spurs he put up 25 something points....I think that's probably still his career high...all that shows to me is that Beno plays harder as a starter than as a bench player.
Funny. Beno is playing basketball and the Spurs fans can't believe it.
Maybe Spurs suxx?!
Maybe you wouldn't know basketball if you had one stuck up your ass?
Yeeeyyy! Now, when he played a few solid games, Slovenian cavalry is storming in?
I love bandwagon fans!
And now the funniest thing posted today:
There isn't really much you can do when Beno Udrih catches fire. He's one of the most electric players in the NBA. When he decides to bring it, you've just got to stand back and be thankful that you were around to witness greatness.
