Sacramento Kings rookie De’Aaron Fox walked a fine line between blasphemous and just being an opinionated young man in an interview with Seerat Sohi of Rolling Stone, as the point guard put on blast one of California’s own, the In-N-Out Burger restaurant chain. Along the conversation, Sohi asked Fox about his favorite place to have […]

The NBA regular season is upon us. What this means is that we’re done trying to stomach watching practice-squad quality players litter the floor during preseason games.

The relatively mediocre regular season, followed by playoffs mostly ridden of any true competitive tension, lulled the majority of NBA fans into a sense of indifference; however, they were almost instantly prompted into spending sleepless nights smashing their F5 buttons.

Sacramento Kings general manager Vlade Divac and head coach Dave Joerger must be doing something right in the eyes of the team’s top brass. You could tell that after reports floated that the two got extension deals from the Kings. Per the Kings’ official website: The Sacramento Kings today announced that the team has extended […]

During his playing days, Vlade Divac made a name for himself for being a big man with a decent perimeter game, who is also very crafty near the basket.

Andre Iguodala was coming off the best three-year run of his professional career, playing in back-to-back-to-back NBA Finals and earning two championship rings and a Finals MVP in 2015 — but the toughest waters were yet to be treaded. The Golden State Warriors’ sixth man had a decision on his hands as a free agent […]

Rebounding is less about luck and more about skill — and size.

This is about the court generals who’ve put seven-footers to […]

It’s been two years since the Sacramento Kings reeled in Willie Cauley-Stein from the first round of the 2015 NBA Draft, but to this day, he’s looked nothing more than a poor man’s version of Tyson Chandler.

It’s because he’s just been required to spend 150 hours of community service to fulfill his end of a plea deal pertaining to […]

The Sacramento Kings have been the among the biggest losers in the NBA over the past several years.

De’Aaron Fox isn’t done doing his part for the victims of Hurricane Harvey.

In the NBA, the race to the bottom of the standings is as hotly contested as the race to the top. Sure, front offices won’t outright admit tanking and self-sabotage (except for you, Sam Hinke) but a seemingly loaded top-end of the 2018 draft class makes tanking that much more enticing.
