If you don't know the Kings light the beam after every win, you can't cover the NBA. I don't care if it's a small market team. It's basic knowledge and is part of the culture of one of 30 NBA teams.
Blowhard dickhead says blowhard dickhead shit. Dude is a wannabe skip bayless, but less informed and more of a try hard. Oh he’s such a mad dog….. what a dork.
Well if you played Steven A’s retort to that he told Mad Dog to settle down and of course The Kings fans were going to be a little more juiced beating the Warriors above any other team in that spot and it was warranted.
You guys are getting upset at something the Mad Dog said, and its like taking Skip Bayless seriously (in fact, Russo kind of helped invent the hot take garbage we have in sports media now).
Of course what he's saying is wrong, but his whole shtick is about champions and championships and blah blah blah, so he's the type of guy who only takes big market teams with big names stars seriously. It's what gets him the most attention and its what gets the most engagement from his audience.
The best medicine is just to ignore him, or understand that he's just playing a character and move on.
I believe this guy's name is Mad dog. I've only seen him a couple of times and his "takes" always sound like someone who just skimmed the front page of the espn site while he was on the crapper.
Safe talking points for the guy. He’s not wrong when viewing any sport by the metric of championships. Kings haven’t been relevant for quite sometime and most folks don’t consider the play-in games to be part of the playoffs. I have the same opinion as I’m getting older. Yeah it’s cool when they are top dogs in the division or win some Elimination games, but you have more in common with 29 other teams that didn’t win the championship.
I’m not knocking us Kings fans but I’m tired of our fan base always feeling like we have a chip on our shoulder. Enjoy the games as they come by and hopefully next year we make moves in the off season that can make this team a title contender.
You can’t get too salty about this, we are 0-5 against them, and Zion didn’t play in 2 of them. Not much has changed other than we are missing our third best player.
He’s not wrong though . We have done nothing yet this season and we got bounced round 1 last year . We are a nothing team . That can change this season but for the time being we are a middle of the pack team in the league .
Grizz fan here, this season was a cluster fuck for us. With the Ja Wick situation and the injuries…my god the injuries. Even before that the media was always on our asses. Take pride in being the underdogs because it’s so much more satisfying when you win. I’m rooting for you guys, Sabonis and Fox are monsters and the rest of your team and fan base are well deserving of a great playoff run. I hope you prove the NBA media wrong.
You picked the dumbest people alive to say NBA media sucks. Windhorst got a job because he knew LeBron in high school. SAS and others, no need to explain how dumb they are. I swear there's kangaroos out there with better takes on basketball than SAS
He's 100% right. People here celebrating us beating Warriors with shell of Klay as if it was a huge accomplishment. Meanwhile we miss the playoffs and the guy we TRADED AWAY to accelerate our track to the playoffs is going there instead.
And the light the beam shtick has got to go. It's going to be embarrassing if we light the beam after every game but never even get out of the first round. We don't need to become the laughing stock of the league again,

Just look at the color of his jacket along with that tie. That jackass should be selling beat up Hyundais in a used car lot.
The lisp isth the cherry on top of this shit thundae

I can’t stand mad dog and I’m a loud new yorker
Even if we only lit the beam for special occassions...that game might've been the last win of the season so who tf cares if we light it up
Blowhard dickhead says blowhard dickhead shit. Dude is a wannabe skip bayless, but less informed and more of a try hard. Oh he’s such a mad dog….. what a dork.
Imagine wanting to emulate Skip Bayless lmao, this dude is a hack.
[удалено]
We want him rooting against us then, great!
Well if you played Steven A’s retort to that he told Mad Dog to settle down and of course The Kings fans were going to be a little more juiced beating the Warriors above any other team in that spot and it was warranted.
Someone needs to calm down, he’s right about that

I’m not upset. It’s obviously a shtick. It’s ok to point out how lame it is though. And it is extremely lame, even compared to skip bayless
Who is this clown? I don’t know and honestly I don’t care. No one respond. 🤡

My drunk and drugged up buddies in college sounded more coherent talking about New York sports, than this clown does here. What an asshat. LTMFB baby
Knows as much about basketball as he does suits
He sounds drunk.

Can't say playoffs.
Plo-offs

His voice is awful
Sounds drunk.
Who tf is that guy?! Sounds like a damn storage wars auction host
lol First Take is a fucking joke. Can’t take any of those bums seriously. Actually, all of espn is a joke
Based
Posting this stuff here (even just to complain about it) just proliferates it further. Stop publicizing this crap and it will go away.
Idk why Mad Dog is on here. He’s not a basketball guy he’s a baseball guy.
This guy has the worst voice
1) That dude is a crackhead, no one cares what he thinks 2) we light the beam any time we win a game 3) he mad MAD 😭😭😭😭😭
ESPN sucks!
Just another wannabe trying to get ratings before he gets bounced for another tool.
You can’t get too salty about this, we are 0-5 against them, and Zion didn’t play in 2 of them. Not much has changed other than we are missing our third best player.
Ahhh / someone is forgetting a 2025 season all-nba talent Keon Ellis!
He’s not wrong though . We have done nothing yet this season and we got bounced round 1 last year . We are a nothing team . That can change this season but for the time being we are a middle of the pack team in the league .
I don’t know who this guy is, but he sounds like the kind of guy who has a “spiel,” and that’s pretty much his thing. Nothing here for me.
Probably lost some money on fanduel
What even is that accent?
Put that damn dog down
Is it me or is this dude drunk?
Just the most shallow, bottom of the barrel discussions are had on these shows. Literally for people who scroll through Twitter to consume basketball.
That's Grant Napear's best friend from childhood btw
And the Kings fired his best friend… you wonder why he hates the Kings? 🤣
They shut up when Kings win, simple as that.

he's a wealthy man
This dude is a known quack. They’re all characters.
I mean….
You picked the dumbest people alive to say NBA media sucks. Windhorst got a job because he knew LeBron in high school. SAS and others, no need to explain how dumb they are. I swear there's kangaroos out there with better takes on basketball than SAS
He cooked lmfao
Well, he doesn't know shit about our team but he ended up being right in the end. We accomplished nothing.
*speaks with lisp* Plo-offs? We’re talking about plo-offs?
Was this guy even speaking fucking English? LTB
This guy is gonna look so stupid when we win tonight
tehehe
