Two worlds collided when Cuttino Mobley wore a Kings logo skullcap for a recent TV interview: the world of older fans who can afford the average $45.28 NBA ticket and the hip-hop world embraced by many players and young fans.
The National Basketball Association this week warned Mobley about unintentionally violating a league ban on hats during TV interviews.
