How do you "consume" basketball? Follow certain players or ???
Fox Watch 2025

I have a handful of players that I like, and I watch when they're playing. If there's a Top Tier Big Man playing, there's a good chance I'll tap in. If LeBron's playing, I'll watch. I like watching LaMelo Ball. And yes, now that he's gone from Sacramento, I'll tune in to watch De'Aaron Fox wherever he is, too.
I also watch a lot of "random" NBA games, just because I like NBA basketball for its own sake.

there in lies the problem. Domas numbers show us that he is a co-star but in reality, he would be better off used as a solid third option and based on the amount the Kings are paying him, he's the best player right now and we will see soon enough that this is not a winning formula moving forward.

The whole Fox situation is quite complicated. I am part of the "minority" (in the forum at least) and I don't hate his guts, will also be watching how he does in every chance I get as long as Kings don't play at the same time and I have free time. "FOX" is my youngest daughter first word to know how to write, they do the "W" he used to do in the DPOG celebration and they ask me to clap my fingers that he did at that video where he is watching the buzzer beater at Orlando. Also unlike most of you guys I haven't "lived" these whole things in a daily basis, from radio infos, podcasts and stuff.
BUT
The issue in my case that "the narrative" when it comes to the media is "Kings sold Fox for bread crumps", "another blunder from Kings F.O", "they finally gave away both Haliburton and Fox" and ok in some major accounts/sites I get it cause they tend to favor the popular markets from US sites/pages I mean. But reading Greek media is even worse, they were titles like "I thought I would spend my whole career in Sacramento" used as headlines because Fox had them mentioned in his farewell message and of course in social media the majority of the (Greek) people mock the Kings organization since they are already biased after the whole Sasha situation last year (moreover Olympiakos fans).
So it's like quite the opposite, here in Kingsfans everybody is against Fox, and in all NBA-related Greek pages/sites/accounts everybody is mocking Kings as an organization. I try to explain them how the real situation is (with Klutch factor etc) but nobody really gets it.
I wonder how things are in Australia and other countries that there are other members here from, how do media "present" the whole thing.

I live in Australia, but everything I read is from American sources. I know there are a couple other Kings fans on this board that also live here, perhaps they have something to offer.
Australia has really a great basketball following, well respected academies especially down Melbourne way. im always happy to see some of the young talent get drafted into the nba and succeed. Part of the reason I wouldn’t mind taking a flyer on Ben Simmons.

19 thousand fans in Charlotte to watch a team 24 games under 500. Tip of the hat
I was OK with him going. It's the sh1t him and Huerter are talking now (afterward). Dysfunction, system, same plays over and over bs they are spouting.
That "way" of seeking a better opportunity was shisty too.
They deserve us rooting against them.
