Buddy Hield wears
#24
to honor his idol, Kobe Bryant.
Tonight, in his first game following the tragedy, he scored 42 points on 24 shots.
5 rebs plus 3 assists.
And he knew it.
LeBron is everything good about America. Born poor, raised by a single mom- found something he excelled at and excelled the shit out of it. Brought others up with him, built a business empire, raises his family- stays out of trouble.
Speaks his mind.
THAT is a role model.
A lot is going to be written and talked about in regards to the
#SeaTac
situation.
I for one would like to tip my cap to the air traffic control guy who tried to talk him down.
He didn’t wake up expecting this, and it will haunt him for life. He did his absolute best.
42 points on 24 shots for
#24
.
5 boards + 3 assists.
The only person to have a 20 point 4th on 100% shooting in a 25+ point comeback since.......
Well done,
@buddyhield
.
As a Sacramento Kings fan, Kobe Bryant broke my heart repeatedly.
Today my heart breaks for his wife and daughters, and all that knew and loved him.
A life with so much left to live.
He was 41.
It’s always Bigger than Basketball.
RIP Kobe.
Nuggets big man DeMarcus Cousins has a lot left in the tank & a lot left to say. The four-time All-Star reflects with
@andscape
on his career altering injuries, his frustrating Kings tenure, coach Michael Malone, revolutionizing modern big man play & more.
I don’t know what happens next.
Maybe we win a title
Maybe we lose this series 4-1.
But for tonight, THIS night, I am just so damn happy for every single Kings fan on the planet.
Thank you

Can’t imagine what you’re thinking, but just know you’re going to hear one of the loudest ovations you’ve ever heard when you step back into G1C.
You’ll always be loved here and have a home here. Good luck.
What a cool tribute.
Both the Spurs and Raptors hold the ball for 24 seconds at the start of the game.
Crowd stand and applauds, chanting “KO-BE KO-BE”
The Kings were down 22 points with 5:52 left in the 4th quarter, and beat the Timberwolves tonight.
On a day of tributes, I can think of nothing better than grabbing victory from the jaws of defeat.
Buddy Hield led all scorers.
His number?
24.
His idol?
Kobe Bryant.
Tyler Skaggs passes away.
First home game since.
They all wear his number.
His mother throws the first pitch, a perfect strike.
The team throws a no hitter.
They score 7 in the 1st inning, 13 runs total.
His birthday is tomorrow, 7/13.
The team is the ANGELS.
Wow.
BREAKING:
The Oakland A’s and Sacramento are finalizing an agreement to play temporarily in the capital city beginning next season.
There will likely be an official announcement as soon as tomorrow or Friday.
This story is developing…
I guarantee you, and this is saying a LOT, that you will not see a bigger clown take today than this one.
Honestly I’m not even mad.
The clownosity is kind of impressive.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE SACRAMENTO KINGS ARE 12-11, TIED FOR THE 8 SEED, HAVE WON 7 OF 8, AND JUST BEAT TWO PLAYOFF TEAMS IN A 24 HOUR AND NINETEEN MINUTE SPAN
LFGGGGGGGGG
Just 7 years ago, Sacramento was on the verge of being a sports ghost town.
Against all odds, we saved the team.
Today, we now know that very soon we will have not one, but two major league teams.
Sacramento remains undefeated.
I love this city.
Let’s keep going.
Context:
Down 3, this was the Huerter 3 attempt as time expired.
This is less than a week after Tyler Herro had a no call on a travel to win the game against Sacramento.
GARBAGE
Not the Warriors.
Not the Suns.
DEFINITELY not the Lakers.
Not the Clippers.
The SACRAMENTO KINGS are your Pacific Division Champions.
Don’t take it for granted.
Savor every second.
Draymond is the victim
Refs are conspiring FOR the Kings
Sabonis faked his injury
Fox faked his injury
Sabonis uses basketball as a weapon
Shams is setting up a hero narrative for Fox
Warriors team may be champs, but that fanbase is straight up G-League
The Sacramento Kings and Harry Giles will part ways, according to multiple league sources.
Unclear where he is headed, but his time in Sacramento has come to an end.
Now three massive storylines are in play:
- Canada wins an NBA championship
- KD leads the Warriors back from the brink
- The Warriors avenge the curse of 3-1
Dear NBA Jesus:
We Kings fans haven’t gotten much over the years.
Let Harry Giles have a long and fruitful career.
Let the world know his skill and the joy he has showing it.
Let him retire after multiple rings and all-star appearances, and become an amazing broadcaster.
De’Aaron Fox is your Western Conference Player of the Week.
Tyrese Haliburton is your Rookie of the Month.
The Kings are 12-11
- Won 4 in a row
- Won 7 of 8
- Tied for the 8th seed
Hello World.
1. Always glad to see the election lie exposed more and more
2. Mitch is running for political cover, and he’s pissed as hell Trump cost him his job (GA), and now wants revenge.
Don’t buy it.
He’s an impotent grifter turtle.
You guys can slander Sabonis all you want. He’s having a terrible game, tough series yes.
But the ish I’m hearing? Miss me with that.
Kings aint here without him, pEriod.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT IS TUESDAY, MARCH 7th, YEAR OF OUR LORD 2023.
THE SACRAMENTO KINGS ARE THE
#2
SEED IN THE NBA’S WESTERN CONFERENCE.
#BEAMTEAMDREAMSUPREME
Congratulations to the Golden State Warriors on a phenomenal series.
Kings gave all they had but in the end it just wasn’t enough.
To win TWICE on the road in a 7 game series, and just throttle the Kings in Game 7?
Gotta tip the cap.
Steph is just unreal.
Called the NBA league office.
Told them to look back at the game and find us 32 points, because I KNOW they’re there.
We didn’t lose to the Warriors, we won.
By a LOT
21 YEARS AGO TODAY
Mike Bibby took a Kobe elbow to the face during the final seconds of the controversial GM6 of the 2002 WCF
Free throws (game)
Lakers: 40
Kings: 25
Free throws (4th quarter)
Lakers: 27
Kings: 9
Just to recap:
Domantas Sabonis: Not an All-Star
De’Aaron Fox: Not an All-Star
Malik Monk: Not 6th MOY
National awards have been bogus for the Kings this year
Kings GM Vlade Divac is stepping down, source tells
@TheAthleticNBA
. Joe Dumars (advisor previously) will be interim executive VP of basketball ops and immediately assumes GM duties. Dumars will be involved in the search for a new GM.
The Sacramento Kings are now tied with the Pelicans for the 9th seed.
They are 3 games behind Memphis.
NOLA has the 3rd easiest schedule
POR the 4th
SA 7th
Kings the 11th easiest
Memphis the 3rd toughest.
22 games remain for Sac.
This is a full on playoff chase.
Dear sweet, tiny, golden baby NBA Jesus:
I know I asked for and received a Game 7.
I know that I do not deserve anything beyond.
But these fans do.
Please, PLEASE help bring us a big win today.
Thank you and love you
Amen.
The Kings did not play their best game.
The Kings took some haymakers from the champions.
They got up off the canvas.
They announced themselves to the world.
1 down, 3 to go.
Josh Emmett is fighting for the title this Saturday in Australia.
Josh Emmett reps the 916.
Josh Emmett has the SICKEST ROBE IN MMA HISTORY!!!
LIGHT THAT BEAM JOSH!!!!
Warriors were 33-8 at home.
Kings laid an absolute egg tonight and were still in it going into the 4th.
I had no expectations of winnings tonight, and you don’t get extra wins for blowouts.
I’m weirdly 100% calm.
On to Sunday.
Wondering if this was the biggest comeback in Kings history?
The Kings trailed the Timberwolves by 17 with 2:49 left in the 4th.
Since 1996-97, NBA teams entered the day 0-8,378 when trailing by 17 or more in the final 3 minutes of the 4th quarter or overtime.
Kings won.
Personal News:
My mom is in not great shape and back in the hospital. Awaiting a blood transfusion plus some other things.
She’s a fighter if there ever was one, that’s for sure.
Jason and Jay have the fort, I will return on Monday. Thx 💜
The Sacramento Kings have matched their win total from all of last season.
On February 6th.
In game 53 of 82.
That’s coach of the year work
That’s Exec of the year work
