Give Mike Brown a lot for turning around this franchise, especially improving the offense learning from Steve Kerr years prior even though he's a defensive minded coach
I think this proves he's a decent coach. In the past he was known for defense, now he's leading an offensive powerhouse. That's versatility comparable to Gregg Popovich.
@@Fencellisk It's good that u brought up Pop bcuz u may know or not know that Mike was on Pop's coaching staff in the early 00's a won a championship with him
Don't forget about their GM Monte McNair too. I honestly think this turnaround wouldn't have happened hadn't not been for him. He made the right trades, drafted well & made the right choice to hire Mike Brown as coach. Vivek wanted Mark Jackson to be the Head Coach, but Monte stood up to Vivek & said they should go after Mike Brown instead. It's still too early in the season, but if the Kings make the playoffs, Monte most definitely has to win the GM of the year award & Mike Brown the Coach of the year for turning around this eternal shit show that's been going on for 16 consecutive years straight.
The last time my Kings were in the playoffs, I was only 11 years old. I’m so happy to see them do well again and giving the whole Sacramento area something to be proud of once again.
I believed in the Kings when they traded for Sabonis. Fox and Sabonis are some of my favorite players and since they are now together I started watching the Kings last season. Glad to see them doing well.
We apparently just got the first 7 game win streak since 2004. I'm a Kings fan and I didn't even know that. Hopefully we can achieve a ten game win streak.
As a kings fan I’ve seen nothing but pain and humiliation for years now it feels different fox is proving he’s a superstar up there with Morant for best young pg in the league the moves have all worked perfectly and this is the year the drought will end
@@XabzintheNBAGuru hes playing like a superstar just based on his efficiency, numbers, and clutch factor. But I agree even as a kings fan he needs to sustain it for a few seasons to be labeled one. Should definitely be an all star though
@@chinter honestly, wouldn’t mind y’all lighting the beam. It’s a great tradition and y’all have a fun team to watch. Plus it’s nice to see SAC have a competitive team again
I've waited soooo long for them to become contenders again. I thought it was going to happen with Boogie but I was wrong. So glad to finally see them on top.
Mike Brown also came from Greg Popovich coaching style. Won a championship too. San Antonio Spurs. He was one of our coaches on the staff with Pop in the 2000s. Before leaving to coach LeBron and the Cleveland Caveliers. I think Sacramento Kings get back to the playoffs this yr.
I’m 15 and I live in Sacramento I’ve wanted to see them do good all my life, through all my entire life I’ve seen them have a ton of “good” first round picks and now thay actually might do it 🤞
the new stadium is huge. my brother played at the old one for norcal championship and I remember comparing it to oracle and feeling just bad for the Kings.
Came back here after the Kings finally clinched a spot in the 2023 NBA Playoffs ending the longest Playoff drought in NBA history making it for the first time since 2006. Anyone else present here?
De'Aaron Fox really is the Kings' big ace. Harrison Barnes is also getting better and I'm looking forward to getting stronger! The strength of the Kings this year is real.
This franchise makes u think about the time they were in the finals with the lakers and people make those breakdown videos of rigged calls. So it makes u wonder what this franchise would be if they actually won the finals in 02
Mike Brown was the perfect coach to turn around the Kings franchise. Great additions to this team will help them next man up to the playoffs its about time Sacramento Kings playoff bound 👏🏾 🙌🏽 👍🏽 😎
Another underrated part of this team is that Harrison Barnes can guard multiple positions and excels at playing on or off the ball as a 3rd option. Ignore his 2016 finals and he has been consistent for majority of his career.
I’m all in. I see playoffs this year and major contenders in 2-3 years. They have to go through that process but they are young and it’s looking good for the first time in years.
Mike Brown & De'Aaron Fox Definitely Deserve Some Love , Brown Has Drastically Changed The Culture On Both Ends Of The Floor & Fox Looking Like A Superstar In The Making
For me, the issue is - unlike the Celtics historic offense - there might not be a lot of consistency in Sacramento moving forward. 0.5 basketball works until people just consider themselves hot and start shooting. In fact, that's what the old Celtics used to have problems with. I don't know, I think they'll regress
As a lifelong kings fan, someone who recently just graduated highschool. If there was ever a year for them to make playoffs it would be this year. Either way I'm in it for the long haul, not this year? fine, next year for sure. They're making sacramento proud regardless
Shows much research you did. The Kings starting line up is the best defensive starting line up in the league. The defensive rating are skewers numbers since the Kings a lot, and many of it was from the beginning of the season. A team can't be bad defensively when you keep going on a run late in the 4th.
I know it sounds crazy but I really want Sacramento to sign boogie, I think having him would be special especially if we made the playoffs, it’s be a nice send off and thank you to one of our superstars who was there when we were awful. I miss boogie:/
This Kings team is reminiscent of 3 Oakland sports teams: the 2002 MoneyBall Oakland A's, 2012 Oakland A's & the 2016 Oakland Raiders. I say those 2 A's teams because of low expectations & the low key signings of players that are role players at best. I also say the 2016 Oakland Raiders because of their high powered offensive game, but shitty defensive game. What's also crazy is that the Kings coach is a great defensive mind just like the Raiders coach back in 2016. I really hope this team makes the playoffs this year. Their fans have gone through a lot for 16 long years of losing.
Gotta give the Kings credit for making the win now move. Tyrese Haliburton is going to be great, no doubt. But De’Aaron Fox is also a very special talent, and Domantas Sabonis is a top 3 center in the league (obviously third, but still top 3.). Now what remains to be seen is if either Fox or Sabonis can truly show up in the playoffs.
@The_Golden_Warriors no he ain’t every year when his team gets a little success they try saying he is then by the end of the season he falls back to his regular spot
@The_Golden_Warriors yep! Which center do you think is better? Embiid and Jokic are clearly above. But who else? Bam? Vucevic? Valanciunas? Idk man, I think I take Sabonis over all those guys except for maybe Bam
You did see some of the adjustment in the recent Grizzly game where the offense was struggling and they were pulling away. You did see some mental mistakes in the last 5 minutes that made the game alot closer then it should of been, but they still pulled it out. The main takeaway I have so far this season is they have players that can pick up the scoring slack if a player is struggling, you have 6 players scoring in the double digits. The biggest hole is rim protection ... Sabonis is not a shot blocker and they don't really have anyone on the bench they can go to that is a rim protector. If they can make a trade for that type of player who can sub in to protect the paint then that would greatly increase their defense. They are not actually that bad of a defensive team in the guard or wing position it's the paint area that is the issue.
I love their offseason moves but the biggest game changer was hiring Mike Brown as HC. He brought that GSW mentality to Sacramento and I'm glad the team is finally winning. Hope they can make the playoffs this year and some trades to improve their team defense.
Kings i think for now it's a fun to watch team that they are getting results. I think their enthousiasm is a big part of why they are getting those results. I believe the will come down to earth because i dont think they will maintain the same shot efficiency plus they are bad in defence. I think that they will nearly miss the play-in this year. Now for bright side of things, i believe they are in the correct path to make something good in the upcoming years.
Lakers fans knew how much Malik Monk meant to them. He was the bright spot on the team in a season where everything that could go wrong went wrong. We knew there would be a higher demand for him, something that with our currently salary cap we couldn't match and even though there were rumors of him taking a pay cut to stay with the team, he went to Sacramento. Good for him for deciding to chase the bag when he had the chance. No way he'd disappear after arriving in Sac.
Lifelong Kings fan. Of course I hope they make the playoffs, but I'm honestly just happy they're playing exciting basketball. Even in (most of) the games they've lost, they've been right there and had a shot at winning. Or when they've dug themselves a hole, they fight back. The defense needs work but several pieces are there; Fox and TD are slick with the steals, Mitchell is the new "Glove", and the help from Monk on rotations is great. Just gotta put it all together for the full 48min.
It's funny when people who actually pay attention to the NBA say something like "the Kings will be good next year," and other people laugh it off because they don't have a deep understanding of the league. I'm proud to say I'm one of those people who made the prediction that the Kings would be a sleeper team this season.
No one saw the Kings being this good. The way they are playing right now is insane. DeAaron Fox is averaging 25 and 6 on ridiculous efficiency. I like the Kevin Huerter acquisition too. Another 3 point specialist who can get a bucket at any time. If they keep this up, they might end the long playoff drought. Long season to go though. We’ll see what happens.
Mike Brown coach of the year then De`Aron Fox for most improved player of the year possibity of all-nba team ,Malik Monk 6th man of the year ,Ending the cursed of 16 years of no play-off appearance
I been saying this since last year. Let's get Jonathan Isaac from the Magic! He is 6'11. Shot blocker. But is super quick. And can handle the ball and is a skinny version of Sabonis. He can run the break or with the break. He would be great
Jonathan Isaac hasn't played since tearing his ACL. In 2020. He's missed each of the last two full seasons, and there's no guarantee he'll even play again.
@@seand1011 exactly. Has had time to recover. And hasn't played for a while so prly can be had for a bag of chips. They have alot of bigs there. Big upside for nothing. I would take it. If they ask for too much....then nah
i mean honestly i'm not saying they'll make the playoffs, but let me say this, if they're still playing this at the all star break, then they'll be making the playoffs and ending that long playoff drought, if the Phoenix Suns managed to do that , maybe this young Kings team can, even with the new permanent play-in tournament
Domas is a LOT better of a defender than people think. What he isn’t is a rim protector. Also, Kings defrtg in their win streak is top 20 or it was a couple games ago, maybe 16-19th. Their def rtg since the 0-4 start is also a bit above 27th. They show flashes of being very solid defensively and the coach expects to end the season around 15-17th
started watching the NBA in 2008 and I've never seen the Kings in the playoffs. Every time a team I was rooting for lost to the Kings it felt like an insult
What's crazy is that their 3pt% is that high while Monk and Barnes are shooting way below their average. Overall spacing is what matters and this is living proof.
If they keep up this level of play by midseason, I think it's safe to say "losing to the Kings is no longer a stunner because they're no longer the old Kings, guys." Mike Brown definitely deserves credit for all of this which led to the resurgence of this Kings team. Of course he learned a lot from Steve Kerr back when he was an assistant for Golden State although honestly he's been a really good coach back in his Cleveland days where he had LeBron James and he was the Coach of the Year in 2009.
The fact they are on this current winning steak ALONE is incredible. Keep in mind, the bottom could still fall out at some point and they could crash and burn but at least for now, there's optimism - something this franchise has rarely experienced since '06.
After watching literally every game during this drought it feels weird watching them win now lol. I mean I have cousins who have clowned on me for YEARS for wearing kings jerseys! Now those same cousins are posting on IG “light that beam” while wearing a kings jersey!
you say nothing stood out about Mike Brown in the NBA previously, but he did get two 60+ wins seasons with the Cavs when they didn't have the best roster
DeAron Fox has made me a killing this year lol, the bookies never rate him. Yet he goes 25plus 4rebounds and 6 assists every week. This multi pays 5 to 1. Chuck him in for 2x 3 pointers for big bag
From the games I’ve watched Sabonis actually isn’t the bad defensively, his lateral quickness is pretty good he just gets called for a lot of tricky tack fouls that aren’t really fair. I think the kings statistically are a better defensive team with sabonis in the floor
YES!!! The Kings make the playoffs and will continue to be the surprise team of the season (along with Utah). In fact, I predict the Kings will win 50+ games this season.
And again, MANY Kings fans LOVED the trade for Domas from day 1 and in fact much of the fan base expected to use him to trade for an all star as early as the offseason before the trade happened. We all knew Fox was nowhere near his ceiling and was always going to be un upper level talent. He literally improved EVERY szn until last. Who can you say does that? Not many players… Not many Kings fans that thought Ty was the “better prospect”. He’s a damn good one but he isn’t even on the same tier of player and is far more a playmaker than a scorer or a closer in clutch. Oh, the misconceptions…. But what do I know, as a Kings fan of 20+ years and someone who spends countless hours in Kings groups and listening to pods etc.
Crazy to think that for a decade straight, they have been drafting good players from college and just not panning out. Jimmer and the like were so good on college but never had a good season in the NBA. I don't know if that is the player just being bad or the development for them is horrible. When was the last time 4 Californian teams on the playoffs?
As a Kings fan I'm so happy with what we're doing, I do agree that the shooting will come down a bit at some point and it does make me nervous about the defence but this team has gelled so well so early that I think they'll still win games. People talk about Sabonis' defence but the thing they don't talk about, is that he doesn't take a lot of fouls. Which is a huge plus for us. It'd be one thing if he wasn't a great defender and got into foul trouble all the time but he doesn't. He's able to stay on the court which helps a lot. I love the way this teams headed and we're only going to get better. LIGHT THE BEAM
Ton of credit to Mike Brown, he turned the Kings to the baby warriors. To think they started out 0-4 and also lost several close games. Could have easily been #1 seed.
ya if you actually watched the games you'd know that the defense has been better then the numbers. because of the high pace teams are scoring more because they are getting more shots up . plus the teams are making contested shots or we would leave bad shooters open and they are actually making those shots when they are a bad shooter....like the Pistons did on that game. Teams are over confident when they play us because everyone shits on us, so they still don't take us seriously. also the refs have been historically bad for us near the 2 min mark of the fourth quarter, giving teams hope or giving them the game. if you actually watched the games then you would know the first 4 games we lost and the 2 we later lost was because of bad officiating. but of course you don't watch the games why would you. if you did you would know we have been bad the last few years because our bench was horrible and the coaching was really bad, now that we got Mike Brown, he has been coaching the hell out of Fox in practice. anyways that's my 2 cents.
The refs has been bad completely. Huerter can tell there is a complete bias against the Kings by the refs since it was never been this bad for him with ATL.
It’s been like 15 games. Last year the Bulls were the #1 seed in the East for, like, a month. How did they turn out again? I’m a Kings fan, but I’m so tired of people jumping the gun and making sweeping statements about teams’ entire seasons when not even a quarter of the regular schedule has passed.
I been saying they were gonna win 48. I expected it when you start mo Harkless and holiday and with no bench scoring you expect to lose. Monk/Keegan/huerter a motivated fox and a good coach is what they needed. You can’t double fox or sabonis with Barnes/Keegan/huerter/monk
Give Mike Brown a lot for turning around this franchise, especially improving the offense learning from Steve Kerr years prior even though he's a defensive minded coach
Still Lakers made the 2nd round in 2012
I think this proves he's a decent coach. In the past he was known for defense, now he's leading an offensive powerhouse. That's versatility comparable to Gregg Popovich.
@@Fencellisk It's good that u brought up Pop bcuz u may know or not know that Mike was on Pop's coaching staff in the early 00's a won a championship with him

@@seand1011 exactly. Has had time to recover. And hasn't played for a while so prly can be had for a bag of chips. They have alot of bigs there. Big upside for nothing. I would take it. If they ask for too much....then nah
As a Suns fan i am really happy for the Kings. Let some other teams be the punching bags now.
i mean honestly i'm not saying they'll make the playoffs, but let me say this, if they're still playing this at the all star break, then they'll be making the playoffs and ending that long playoff drought, if the Phoenix Suns managed to do that , maybe this young Kings team can, even with the new permanent play-in tournament
You're clueless about basketball
@The_Golden_Warriors Kings won't be in the Play-in, they'll be a top seed team.
Domas is a LOT better of a defender than people think. What he isn’t is a rim protector. Also, Kings defrtg in their win streak is top 20 or it was a couple games ago, maybe 16-19th. Their def rtg since the 0-4 start is also a bit above 27th. They show flashes of being very solid defensively and the coach expects to end the season around 15-17th
Hope they will make the playoffs DFOX must do extra effort its his team now💪💪💪
started watching the NBA in 2008 and I've never seen the Kings in the playoffs. Every time a team I was rooting for lost to the Kings it felt like an insult
Steve Kerr had to get surgery during the 2017 finals and mike brown stepped in and head coached during the finals
What's crazy is that their 3pt% is that high while Monk and Barnes are shooting way below their average. Overall spacing is what matters and this is living proof.
If they keep up this level of play by midseason, I think it's safe to say "losing to the Kings is no longer a stunner because they're no longer the old Kings, guys."
Mike Brown definitely deserves credit for all of this which led to the resurgence of this Kings team. Of course he learned a lot from Steve Kerr back when he was an assistant for Golden State although honestly he's been a really good coach back in his Cleveland days where he had LeBron James and he was the Coach of the Year in 2009.
Andy Hoops Wednesdays YESSIR !!!!!
The fact they are on this current winning steak ALONE is incredible. Keep in mind, the bottom could still fall out at some point and they could crash and burn but at least for now, there's optimism - something this franchise has rarely experienced since '06.
After watching literally every game during this drought it feels weird watching them win now lol. I mean I have cousins who have clowned on me for YEARS for wearing kings jerseys! Now those same cousins are posting on IG “light that beam” while wearing a kings jersey!
Tell them to hop off the bandwagon. You deserve to say that to them. Lmao
great to see my kings developing into an all star team
you say nothing stood out about Mike Brown in the NBA previously, but he did get two 60+ wins seasons with the Cavs when they didn't have the best roster
DeAron Fox has made me a killing this year lol, the bookies never rate him. Yet he goes 25plus 4rebounds and 6 assists every week. This multi pays 5 to 1. Chuck him in for 2x 3 pointers for big bag
From the games I’ve watched Sabonis actually isn’t the bad defensively, his lateral quickness is pretty good he just gets called for a lot of tricky tack fouls that aren’t really fair. I think the kings statistically are a better defensive team with sabonis in the floor
the kings being good is crazy
Waiting for you to drop something on my Kings team for like forever. 7 game win streak did it. We are finally relevant for a minute. LoL
Marvin bagley😅
Jaylen Brown next video Andy Hoops 🙏🙏🙏
LIGHT THE BEAM
LFG!!
YES!!! The Kings make the playoffs and will continue to be the surprise team of the season (along with Utah). In fact, I predict the Kings will win 50+ games this season.
I can see it but they gonna need to get a defensive minded player cause they will get cooked in Playoffs
Free Throws , no injuries, tighten up defense and they are in ~ offense is A Purple Beam ready to light the sky
Kings had an off night shooting the ball against the grizzlies and still pulled out the win. With probably best defense all season so far
And again, MANY Kings fans LOVED the trade for Domas from day 1 and in fact much of the fan base expected to use him to trade for an all star as early as the offseason before the trade happened. We all knew Fox was nowhere near his ceiling and was always going to be un upper level talent. He literally improved EVERY szn until last. Who can you say does that? Not many players… Not many Kings fans that thought Ty was the “better prospect”. He’s a damn good one but he isn’t even on the same tier of player and is far more a playmaker than a scorer or a closer in clutch.
Oh, the misconceptions…. But what do I know, as a Kings fan of 20+ years and someone who spends countless hours in Kings groups and listening to pods etc.
6th worst team was a stretch. Stop it. Kings fans including me said they would be a playoff team and said sky is the damn limit
Andy hoops wasn’t old enough to watch the Bobby Jackson kings days
Crazy to think that for a decade straight, they have been drafting good players from college and just not panning out. Jimmer and the like were so good on college but never had a good season in the NBA. I don't know if that is the player just being bad or the development for them is horrible. When was the last time 4 Californian teams on the playoffs?
Kings most dangerous team in offense right now in the NBA but DEFENSE need improve individual 🔥🔥🔥
Reminds me of the 06-07 warriors
Everyone is claiming the "I was wrong to make fun of the Kings hiring Mike Brown" ticket.
As a Kings fan I'm so happy with what we're doing, I do agree that the shooting will come down a bit at some point and it does make me nervous about the defence but this team has gelled so well so early that I think they'll still win games.
People talk about Sabonis' defence but the thing they don't talk about, is that he doesn't take a lot of fouls. Which is a huge plus for us. It'd be one thing if he wasn't a great defender and got into foul trouble all the time but he doesn't. He's able to stay on the court which helps a lot. I love the way this teams headed and we're only going to get better.

Ton of credit to Mike Brown, he turned the Kings to the baby warriors. To think they started out 0-4 and also lost several close games. Could have easily been #1 seed.
ya if you actually watched the games you'd know that the defense has been better then the numbers. because of the high pace teams are scoring more because they are getting more shots up . plus the teams are making contested shots or we would leave bad shooters open and they are actually making those shots when they are a bad shooter....like the Pistons did on that game. Teams are over confident when they play us because everyone shits on us, so they still don't take us seriously. also the refs have been historically bad for us near the 2 min mark of the fourth quarter, giving teams hope or giving them the game. if you actually watched the games then you would know the first 4 games we lost and the 2 we later lost was because of bad officiating. but of course you don't watch the games why would you. if you did you would know we have been bad the last few years because our bench was horrible and the coaching was really bad, now that we got Mike Brown, he has been coaching the hell out of Fox in practice. anyways that's my 2 cents.
The refs has been bad completely. Huerter can tell there is a complete bias against the Kings by the refs since it was never been this bad for him with ATL.
It’s been like 15 games. Last year the Bulls were the #1 seed in the East for, like, a month. How did they turn out again?
I’m a Kings fan, but I’m so tired of people jumping the gun and making sweeping statements about teams’ entire seasons when not even a quarter of the regular schedule has passed.
I been saying they were gonna win 48. I expected it when you start mo Harkless and holiday and with no bench scoring you expect to lose. Monk/Keegan/huerter a motivated fox and a good coach is what they needed. You can’t double fox or sabonis with Barnes/Keegan/huerter/monk
Demarcus Cousins and Tyreke Evans were supposed to be the next great Kings team. Then it was Marvin Bagley and Fox. Bagley was a bust bit Fox is a hit
Oh btw Haliburton was also named a first time All-Star for the Pacers in 2023 ICYMI.
Good thing our defense is average now
Four months after this video was uploaded, the Sacramento Kings just CLINCHED THE PLAYOFFS!!!
Aye here we go, we’re doing the Utah Jazz bit all over again but this time with the Kings.
When I saw Sabonis get traded in that package. I knew the kings were going to be good! :D
