Pivotal Game 5 tonight for the Kings and Warriors in Sactown. My question is why are members of the media, mostly bay area representatives, so hateful towards the Kings and their fans? I don't get it! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Once again the race card is out in a full force this time by Jalen Rose against Phil Jackson. On today's episode I discuss the comments made by the former NBA player and coach Jackson on a recent podcast hosted by Rick Rubin. Jackson said he stopped watching the NBA in 2020 due to their political messaging. Even after the Bubble 2020, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver admitted the league went overboard with their messaging. That's not good enough for ESPN commentator Jalen Rose who called Jackson and insinuated that Jackson is a racist! How sad is that! So Rose has a different opinion than Jackson and that's fine, but because Rose doesn't agree with Jackson, he is now a racist? This is another alarming example of the race card being used when it shouldn't have! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Former NBA player and coach Phil Jackson says he doesn't watch the NBA anymore. Appearing on iconic music producer Rick Rubin's podcast Jackson said people want to see sports as non-political. Jackson wants politics out of sports. I agree and so do many others. Unfortunately for Jackson he is now being labeled a racist by many including ESPN's Jalen Rose. Unbelieveable!

Three games of the Kings-Warriors series is in the books. On today's episode I am joined by Larry Krueger as we break down the series after three games. Larry and I also disagree on the Draymond Green suspension and he tells me why he feels green should not have been suspended for game 3.

The Kings were awful last night! It was arguably their worst performance of the season as they were blown out by the Warriors in Game 3. The warriors were without Draymond Green and Gary Payton ll and it didn't matter. If the Kings lose this series they may very well point to Game 3 as the reason why! Learn more about your ad choices.

The kings have the Warriors in trouble as the series shifts to San Francisco for game 3 with the Kings up 2-0. I still do not understand why so many people are defending Draymond Green who is suspended for tonight's game. That is mind boggling to me! Learn more about your ad choices.

The NBA suspended Draymond Green for tomorrow's Game 3 of the Kings-Warriors series for stomping on Domantas Sabonis Monday night during the 4th quarter. Props for TNT's Charles Barkley for saying Green is taking the attention of the Kings excellent play out of the discussion. Barkley said the kings have kicked the Warriors ass and nobody is talking about that! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

There is nothing like sports that brings people together. On today's episode I talk about the Kings and their fans and share some of my experiences of being a loyal fan. The joy and excitement of Kings fans has truly been great to watch! There is no other fan base in America that deserves this more than Kings fans. And other than maybe the birth of a child, or something of that magnitude, what else is better than seeing your team win? I can't think of many! The Kings are currently up 2-0 on the warriors and if they get two more wins and happen to play the Lakers in the next round, oh boy! What a time to be a Kings fan! Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's episode I am joined by my former intern and popular bay area radio host Larry Krueger. Larry breaks down the upcoming Kings-Warriors playoff series.

I love looking at everyone's predictions for the upcoming Kings-Warriors playoff series. I get a kick out of how many people think the game 1 results will determine the winner of the series. Bottom line is one game has nothing to do with the next and it takes four wins to move on.

For the first time ever the Kings and warriors will hook up in the playoffs. Game 1 is on Saturday and on today's show I preview the match-up. I discuss the team's regular season and discuss the keys to victory. I think the Warriors are just too experienced and they have Steph Curry. The Kings 48 regular season wins wasn't a fluke, but I just don't see them beating the warriors four times. go to https://HelloFresh.com/grant50 and use code grant50 for 50% off, plus your first box ships free!

As I release today's episode the Kings are 48-32 and are the third seed in the Western Conference. Are they as good as their record indicates? I go over ever game of the season and what I found is there were very few "signature" wins. I thought their best game of the season was when they lost to the Bucks at home last month. I also talk about the Kings disparity between home and the road. That aspect of the season is very perplexing. Bottom line is the Kings are hosting a playoff game next weekend to begin the NBA post-season.

The Kings host the warriors tonight in the final home game of the season. As I release this rant it appears the Kings are mailing it in. Almost all of their regulars are on the injury report. I don't like it. You've played a certain way all season and now you're going to concede the game? Sunday in Denver yes, but not tonight. Maybe the Kings have a change of heart and play their main guys, but right now I am not a fan of this possible decision.

LSU's Angel Reese doesn't seem to be able to move from the spotlight. She and her teammates beat Iowa Sunday night to win the NCAA Women's National Championship game in basketball.

FS1's Shannon Sharpe actually believes that Joe Biden may lose the Whiter House in '24, because our First Lady, Jill Biden invited the women's Iowa Hawkeyes basketball team to the White House. Yup, Sharpe actually said that. Of course, Sharpe's reasoning was race based. Shocking huh? You just can not make this up!

On today's episode I discuss what happened after the LSU-Iowa Women's National Championship game. Iowa's standout player Caitlin Clark made a "John Cena hand gesture" earlier in the tournament, but when LSU's Angel Reese did it after the game, she was criticized by many. Clark is White and Reese is Black, thus the attacks of racism began. The problem is, if we are being objective, the two acts of taunting were not similar and yet that is being glossed over by the national media members who are declaring racism. I discuss the commentary of Shannon Sharp of FS1 and Stephen A. Smith of ESPN. Both commentators said the incidents were exactly the same. Again, I don't know how any person can make that claim. The bottom line is race is once again at the forefront of an incident due to different opinions. It is a disturbing trend, and we should all think twice about why that is.

The Women's National Championship game between Iowa and LSU was the most watched women's game in history with 9.9 million viewers. It is a shame thought that almost all of the conversation is centered around Iowa's Caitlin Clark and LSU's Angel Reese. Clark is White and Reese is black and unfortunately the narrative has turned into claims of racism due to the criticism towards Reese for her taunting at the end of the game.

The Sacramento Kings are on their way to the NBA Playoffs for the first time since 2006. On today's episode I reflect back to 1996, the first ever game playoff game at Arco Arena. I share stories from that era and talk about how much easier life was without social media. I also reflect back on game 3 vs the Sonics in '96 and forecast what it will be like when the Kings play the first ever playoff game at Golden One Center. Here's what I do know, in '96 nobody had cell phones in their hands. In two weeks 18,000 people will have their cell phones out instead of clapping. I don't know about you, but I miss how much easier life was back in 1996. Bottom line, 2023 is a great one for Kings fans and no fan base in America deserves this more than Kings fans!
