For 16 years, the Sacramento Kings did not make the playoffs. They were the gum on the bottom of the shoe of the NBA, a punching bag even Hornets and Wizards fans could hit. And now, the drought is over, the Kings somehow got THIRD in the West regular season and played an entertaining series with the Warriors in the playoffs. They 2 All-Stars to the game (their first all star since 2017, who was DeMarcus Cousins, their only all star during the drought), they won coach of the year, executive of the year, clutch player of the year, DPOY chain for maximum camaraderie, and got a purple laser beam that fires into the sky for each Kings win. Things changed fast, and beyond my wildest dreams for a fan that only knew delusion, I found myself humbled, fearing I’d wake too soon.
Will the Kings pick up where they left off and sustain their winning culture? Or will the beam lay dormant for too long? Predictions below!
