I'm really hoping Sacramento and Denver play against each other in the playoffs now, just so we can see hundreds if not thousands of people wearing that shirt...
I can't say I didn't expect this. Mike Malone, George karl, Alvin gentry, Luke Walton now Mike brown and those are just recently. But somehow they continue to fire coaches thinking that's going to save the day. This is why nobody wants to play for sac. Not to mention the most dysfunctional NBA team in history
Bro they’ve been irrelevant since I was an embryo, 32 years later, I enjoy them lighting the beam. But all In all, if the young dude wasn’t on their team. They’d be shite
As a kings fan I can’t argue with that. The Kings organization just loves being a mediocre franchise and it seems like they’re pretty proud of that fact
@@SactoShaneso youd rather accept the losing?? The talent they have is the 2nd best since the kings moved to Sacramento. They need a coach that can guide them to the playoffs and win a series at least. 13-18 and people talking about the way he was fired? Smh. Cant lose 5 in a row at home. Cant be 3-11 in close games. Cant even be in close games against the New Orleans and Detroits of the world.
@@emekaamerican863unfortunately some people don’t like other people that tell the truth and keep it real like Malone does. We need more Mike Malone’s imo.👍🏻
Im glad Mike Malone said something, Malone should have never been fired. We could have had Cousins, Isaiah Thomas and Malone as the head coach. That smells liek playoffs for many many years.
The west was way tougher back then😂 but they were having a good season in like 2015 then fired Malone & started losing it was so dumb @@JediMasterGeoff
@@JediMasterGeoffnah that team was cookin. Malone was the first coach to finally unlock Boogie and they were strongly trending up until Boogie missed a bunch of fans with meningitis. New Kings ownership canned Malone when they hit that slump when their buddy player was recovering from a major illness. The Kings were never the same, Boogie’s career never recovered to that level, and Malone went on to lead the Nuggets to their first championship with the most playoff appearances in the West, mostly led by their #41 draft pick unicorn. You can’t just look at the stats. Context is everything
Glad someone said it, The GM should’ve been fired trading for an aging Derozan when they already have Fox to close games who was literally clutch player of the year a couple years ago, what they really needed was another big to support Sabonis or at least play some defense
@@jcchambers7896 And Boogie Cousins loved Mike Malone and was developing his character with him as coach. Then toxic George Karl hated Cousins. One of the worst firings and hirings in NBA history
The Kings have WASTED generational talents my whole life so this doesn’t surprise me. No matter how many times they rebrand to get those great fans in the arena this will be the result.
They came close in the 2000s with Bibby, Peja, Turk and C Webb with getting past the Lakers and San Antonio, but never could quite win that WC Finals. Plus we know David Stern didn’t want them to win anyway.
People who have served should be appreciated, not disrespected. If you need to let a coach go, do it with professionalism: shake their hand, thank them for their service, and explain the decision respectfully. This is the NBA, the pinnacle of basketball, and it deserves the highest level of professionalism. Firing someone on their way to the airport is unacceptable.
As a former kings fan I can say this is the worst most cowardly thing I've seen from the kings since the "Magoofs"... things are going to get much worse for the Kings and Vivek deserves all of the downturn that is coming. Mike Brown didn't deserve this, and I hope he finds a team and franchise the appreciates his abilities. I was still a Kings fan even after the recent 5 game losing streak, which is more than I can say for the owners ( who don't recognize there are bad lows when developing a team that has literally been patched together recently) This is the last straw man... F that beam and only L's for the current ownership. YOU DON'T DESERVE A WINNING TEAM. 💀💜💀⚰️
@christopherjackson8405 if you want to call riding the same dumpster fire wagon for 28 years a "wagon rider" then sure... here's my stop. 🤣 Thing about being a "bandwagon fan" is there are supposed to be good times in there... That's when people jump on the bandwagon... Getting eliminated in the first round of the playoffs after a 16 year drought is not my idea of a good time. Then slowly regressing to this point while making the same stupid mistakes in the words of Mike Brown "game after game, after game, after game, after game, after game" ... But please tell me more about how loyal of a super fan you are. 🤡🤫
😆I knew Malone would have something to say about this. He could have built something great in Sac, but he was done dirty as well. The only coach to ever get through to Boogie and earn his respect
Fked up they fired Mike. I’m shocked, yes they are having a poor start to the season and a bad patch but he was building a solid system it seems. They pulled the trigger too quick without much basis.
Malone Just been Malone I learn that as a heat fans in the finals when we beat them at home and he took the locker room and shutt doors and talk to his players all pist off that they don’t loose any other game 😮
you know tough loss tonight but mike malone is a man of his word, never turns his back on his players and always takes accountability, love coach mike.
Easy bub, were gonna lose a whole lot of players we love before we finally lose watsons contract for good. This seasons been bad, and i think its gonna get worse before it gets better. Used to be at least we aint detroit, now i guess we gotta resort at least we aint the kings
@drocka36 things will get ugly cutting good players and trading good players ... but I'm a browns fan and we have a1st round draft pick, that means hope ha ha
@ o ill be a brown til i die, born one die one. Just hate how much that gamble ruined, and how far its set us back. For a dude noone wanted and noone liked, that hadnt played in years. Worst trade in nfl history and its not even close
You know someone genuinely cares when they’ve gone through the same thing. Good thing about being an NBA coach is there is always work as either another head coach or as staff. If Doc Rivers is still getting head coaching jobs I’m sure Mike will be fine lol
Especially considering the fact he’s been the only man to get then to the playoffs in lord knows how long, even tho they’ve been stagnant lately, that’s crazy
@@TheRoseCross901apparently there was some locker room tension between Fox and Brown. Fox also had a pretty cold response to Brown getting fired, he basically just said “we move on”
@@JaydashGaming Oh I see. Well if they continue to lose they are going to look pretty crazy for letting him go especially after all the effort Mike brown put in building that team.
Much respect to you Coach for telling the truth out loud,we as a country live in the dark ages when it comes to Human Relationships we are Light Years Behind.
As a Dubs fan I’ve always respected Mike Malone. He seems like a stand up guy. Plus, he was an assistant coach with us in 2011-2012 when Mark Jackson was the coach. He helped lay the foundation of what became a dynasty.
Just how it has been in the last ten years with all major sports, especially since the advent of social media. The coaches are not safe anymore. I'm seeing it happen a lot with football/soccer.
Bruh, they do the firing the same way for all of us who don’t make millions a night. We all get dumped in a day. Usually via a massive phone call meeting or during a Teams meeting. Corporations don’t give a flying fuck about anyone but their profit.
Sacramento Kings will reminisce about that 2002 season that got away but never fix the cracks in the foundation that's been going on since they were in Cincinnati way back when

No filter 😅
Fireng the coach of the year, that's why the Kings always suck. As a Warrior fan, I would love to have Mike Brown back.
With how the Warriors been playing oh yes for sure we need him back
I would rather have him over Kerr at this point in time tbh
As a kings fan I can’t argue with that. The Kings organization just loves being a mediocre franchise and it seems like they’re pretty proud of that fact

No lie told
They needed another 1 on 1 scorer 😂

Coach of the year last year and fired its crazy
2 years ago
I love stuff like this ! I love when stand up for their own

I just became a fan of this head coach. What a great speech.
Kings general manager: Monte McNair
Owner: Vivek Ranadivé
In case you guys don't know who he was talking about.
The Kings really fired him because of a 5 game losing streak🤦. Bruh, they were going to go back to being a top 10 team🤦.
All 5 at home also
It shouldn't matter if they were on a 10 game losing streak, Sacramento should've exhibited some respect and class firing him.
Thank you for sharing the insights and you have a ball to expose what is happening inside the organization
This guy have balls of steel 👊🏾

To this day, I will never understand why tf they fired Mike Malone
It’s not for you to understand. Let me guess u think they actually try to win every game they play also
Whoever wanted Derozen should have been fired. The Kings need to play fast. DD doesn't let you do that. Good player, but not what Sacramento needs.
I agree they did not need him
Facts
Thanks for your honest truth, coach 👏
Just gain respect for coach malone
Couldn’t agree more. Us Kings fans deserve better.
I love you for this Malone!
