Return of the KANGZ (featuring Tim Maxwell and Sanjesh Singh) Jul 22, 2020

Show notes

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!

Moving Forward (with Deuce Mason and Morgan Ragan) Jun 28, 2020

Show notes

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.

Thank you for listening! As always, don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review the podcast so we can spread our content even further!
