I think it’s kinda cool. Same with the standing O he got from the crowd in that first home game. A continuation of the “best fans in the NBA” tradition, almost two decades removed from our glory years!
…. of course, I also think the fact that there are still Kings fans that go to bat for him and he thanks them with shenanigans is good justification for my own “mean girls” takes on Marvin Bustly the Third!
Still rooting for him though, but only for the sake of his trade value. Hopefully he has a better showing next game.
I see it the other way around. The way the fans take what Marvin says or doesn't say (and his dad) as a personal attack on them is a throwback to the old days. Small city with an inferiority complex. His issues have been with a coach who never wanted him and made it be known, which is rude and unprofessional and another coach who can't coach himself out of a paper bag. Yet, ya'll act like he's taking shots at the city or the fans. Get all uptight when he doesn't want to play in garbage time and then attack him when he plays the next time he's asked to play in a blow out.
If his actions were so egregious, where was the fine or suspension? Acting like he's an important piece to the team and he cost them a chance to win a game by not checking in for the final play or something.
I may have missed where any of the Bagley's have said anything negative about the fans or city. But I doubt it.
When Bagley wasn't playing the fans got so scapegoat starved, they've been going in on Fox. This is all just a case of fans needing to take their frustration out on someone.
Marvin will be gone soon, and the team won't be better or worse for it. There are actual real issues holding this team back.
