The Kings Herald Show returns to talk a little All-Star Weekend, a lot of Sacramento Kings basketball, and the tight Western Conference playoff race.
Listen to Jerry Reynolds, Will Griffith, and Tony Xypteras discuss a big win against the Clippers, De’Aaron Fox’s defensive leap, a terrible Bob Myers performance, and more on the podcast this week. This episode was recorded right before the Miami Heat game tipped off, so, yeah. I can’t say we didn’t see this coming.
Thanks for listening.

Oooh, baby, it’s listenin’ time!
Fox had an outstanding playoff series until his finger was broken. That’s some tough love saying he didn’t play up to his standard.
Talking to yourself already?
“…after the Kings win by forty-six.”
I feel ya, pal.
Getting into the psychosis early today.
You or him?
Hahaha
Who truly knows?
good podcast as always.
Just scrap the all-star game. These dudes don’t want to compete, are afraid of being injured…has there even been an injury during the all-star game?
Only things injured are the respect for fans and the game.
Will an MRI change anything?
You are the expert, you tell me
No.
Sabonis is the greatest center in the history of the organization.
Will he play as many games in a Kings uniform as Jason Thompson did?
Spencer Hawks was the center for most of Thompson’s time
Thompson played in essentially every game and averaged close to 30 mins a game.
I might be hard for Sabonis to match JT’s games played, unless he finishes his career in Sac, but Fox will definitely catch him.
Ideally Sabonis finishes out here in 15 years.
It was a pleasure listening to this episode.
Thanks guys and your fear of Heat accurate !
A World vs. USA All-Star game sounds good – until you go to pick the players.
Sure – Jokic, Giannis, Embiid, Luka, SGA, Domas come first to mind. But… what if someone is injured (or held out)? Replacements? Also, do you change the accolade (which might have financial attachments)? NBA World All-Star, NBA USA All-Star? MVP?
Leave it be. Change the format to first team to 100 – that will make it shorter, thus less chance for injury, it will make the scoring more competitive (again, MVP), and you can cash incentivize if you want – charity incentive even better. Assigning playoff value, e.g. Home court for the Finals, is an insult to the regular season which is already insulted by having a Play-In.
And remember – you already have the In Season Tournament; even more meaninglessness (<-word?). If the advertisers on the TV can sell advertisements, because the fans, “real” or otherwise watch it and pay cash money to see it in person, so be it. the only reason professional sports exists is to sell ads and merchandise. It just happens to be athletic ballet to many of us.
I know the players want to be given that title of All-Star, so they would likely vote to keep it.
Is there a condensed version?
Well, replacements could be Markenton , K Towns , R Gobert . Siakam, Booker, Adabyo , Vucivich, J Murray , F Wagner, Porzingas, and Wembanyama . Not bad
