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!

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.

With no sports to worry about in the present, why not look into the past for inspiration? In 2003, the Sacramento Kings met the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals. Doesn't sound familiar? That's because it happened in How to Lose a Guy in 10 DaysIn the Jester's Film Club, we will look at the fingerprint the Kings have on Hollywood. In this edition, we ask why a 30-win Knicks team was in the Finals, why the Kings had Chucky Brown in the final minute of one of those games, and how the Knicks got four home games in ten days. We are joined by The Kings Herald contributor Will Griffith to discuss these important issues. Please rate, review, and subscribe if you haven't and let us know what movies we should discuss in future episodes.
