Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson plans to attend the NBA Board of Governors meeting next month to plead Sacramento’s case to keep the Kings.

The former NBA All-Star wrote on his blog that he will give the league one final pitch to prevent the Kings from moving south to Anaheim.

“There’s still a little time left on the clock regarding our future with the Kings,” Johnson said. “Second, Sacramento means business when it comes to continuing our 25-year partnership with the NBA.”

Johnson said the league already has granted his request to attend and speak on Sacramento's behalf.
