The Kingsfans.com official undersized big draft crush has torn his Achilles in two of the last three years (EJ Liddell two years ago)

Nice interview with Mike. Talks about his extension, DDR and Monk’s role this year among other things

I tried watching that video earlier, but there is a sneaker in the background whose squeak sounds exactly like a fire detector with a low battery. My cat was not having it.

Why can't media get the sound right on these interviews? I'm not turning my volume up to 100 to hear them.

Malik Monk is entering his final season with the Kings if past Pizza Guys are any indication.

The last Pizza guy is still with the Kings though (Doug Christie)

I still find it baffling that Fox wasn't selected for the All-Star game or an All-NBA spot in 2024 with the season he just had. Basically everyone in his universe statistically was selected for both and I think he came in like 25th in All-NBA voting. It makes no sense. And the same goes for his snub from Team USA. The NBA is such a weirdly cliquey subculture.

Yeah, I'm not sure where the bias is coming from in this case. Fox can be a bit prickly and standoffish with the media, and he seems generally uninterested in campaigning for individual awards. After failing to receive an All-Star nomination this season, he said he was honestly grateful for the rest, and I think he meant it.
Of course, All-NBA selections can influence the size of his next contract, so I'm sure he feels some desire to make one of the All-NBA teams. But perhaps voters are seeing some of what we see: Fox typically slumps for an extended number of weeks every season, and his seeming disinterest during those rough stretches can be maddening when you're acutely aware of just how devastatingly talented he is.
I don't know if that would stop me from voting for him if I was in a position to influence All-NBA outcomes, but I could understand where it would give a voter pause.

Makes you wonder if his "disinterest" in both is a big part of the reason. He'd rather spend his off time around his family....and needs all the rest he can find for the long season

his style of play is what can hinder him as the season prolongs. I'd imagine with more body maturation and learning how to channel that energy more efficiently will go a long way to prolonging his career productivity, whether he gets those accolades will continue to depend on how much the Kings are winning

Exactly. When you have a 7th place team hard to argue both Fox and Sabonis deserve to go so they split the vote.

Sort of Kings comments, more "ex Kings" comments...
He will be joining forces with another former Kings player (not for such a long time though), Jabari Parker that went viral a month ago when crying in front of his camera during an interview after I think the last match of the season.

Looks like it's being reported as a 100% buyout - so Sasha gets nothing from the remainder of his NBA contract and he's headed back to Greece.
Wow. I had such high hopes when he came over. But clearly the NBA wasn't for him.
If that's the case, Keegan is going to be headed to Europe any day now.
Kings were in 5th place for the week leading up to the All Star reserve team selections but go on.

Keegan grew up probably in a rural area in Iowa somewhere

My bad I remembered it at 7th but 5th or 7th doesn’t really matter. Hard for two players to split the vote especially in the deep west.
