Basketball is almost back! 

For better or for worse, it appears that we're going to end this basketball season in the coming days. In typical Kings fashion, the team has found multiple ways to make headlines as the Orlando bubble gets ready to debut.

Injuries? Check.

Breaking quarantine for chicken wings? Check. 

The anxiety of knowing that the Kings once again rule our lives? Check. 

We are joined by The Kings Herald's own Tim Maxwell and Sanjesh Singh to discuss Marvin Bagley's injury, whether or not it's fair to call him injury prone yet, how the different outside factors may affect the Kings, and what needs to be done in order to make this jaunt into Orlando a worthwhile trip. 

 

We sincerely appreciate all the support! Please like, rate, subscribe, review, tell your friends, tell your family, and tell your enemies about this podcast.

 

Talk to you all next week!

 

Will Griffith and Jerry Reynolds are back for an abbreviated episode of The Kings Herald Show to check in on Monte McNair's offseason thus far, including the DeMar DeRozan acquisition, the Devin Carter draft selection, Harrison Barnes' exit, the Davion Mitchell trade, how the new-look Kings stack up against the rest of the Western Conference, and more! Thanks for listening. 

In Part 2 of the crossover event with Kings Pulse, we get to know the stories behin Richard Ivanowski and Brendan Nunes's journeys to covering the Kings for a living.

Basketball is supposedly back soon, and a lot is on our minds! Will it actually come to be? How has the NBA handled the COVID-19 outbreak? What was it like working a G-League game the night that Rudy Gobert was diagnosed?

Deuce Mason and Morgan Ragan joined as as we discussed all of this and more. Obviously, to cap it off, we needed to talk about the reunion with Corey Brewer and what his signing means for the Kings. 

You might notice a dip in audio quality. Unfortunately, the recording was done on a laptop microphone instead of the Blue Yeti, but outside of a loss of quality, it does not affect the listenability of the podcast.

Listen. It's a quarantine. Everything about the world is weird. Life is weird. Sports are weird. Movies are weird. Here's a weird podcast. Just enjoy. 

 

With no sports to worry about in the present, why not look into the past for inspiration? 

In 2003, the Sacramento Kings met the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals. Doesn't sound familiar? That's because it happened in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

In the Jester's Film Club, we will look at the fingerprint the Kings have on Hollywood. In this edition, we ask why a 30-win Knicks team was in the Finals, why the Kings had Chucky Brown in the final minute of one of those games, and how the Knicks got four home games in ten days. 

We are joined by The Kings Herald contributor Will Griffith to discuss these important issues. Please rate, review, and subscribe if you haven't and let us know what movies we should discuss in future episodes. 

This is fun! 

Jack Cooley was only a King for a year, but he made an impression on Kings fans that lasts to this day. Jack joined us to solve all of the world's problems and tell us about his basketball journey. From playing alongside Vince Carter, LeBron James, Zach Randolph, and Garrett Temple to his hatred of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, playing for Notre Dame and moving overseas, Jack and Bradley solve all the problems of the world.

As always, thank you for coming with us to our new home! We will be back soon!

DISCLAIMER: This episode was holstered for a while thanks to some incredibly poor-timing, followed by a lot of other issues both related and unrelated to the show. It is about Luke Walton's allegations, and this episode may have conversations and language that go into some uncomfortable places. It is mentioned in the episode, but you will see that an example we use aged poorly because it was recorded literally about 12 hours before an example we used (DeMarcus Cousins) had his own issues come to light. We decided to keep the conversation intact, however, and while that aspect aged poorly, the conversation around it is still very important. Brad (@therealbradg) is joined by TJ Macias (@pocket_siren) as the two discuss the looming cloud that is the Luke Walton situation, what sports can do about these situations, and when our priorities regarding sports become skewed. It's an admittedly uneasy thing to talk about, and while we try to stay inside our lane, these are very much our own individual thoughts. Learn more about your ad choices.
