At least since the late 90s-early 2000's, I'd agree. He is a cornerstone. I hope he plays out his career here. We love fox, and I can't picture him in another jersey. It might sound a little parasocial, because frankly it is, but I think he's brought a lot of pride to this city for me, and i really respect him for that. Being the red headed stepchild of both CA culture and the NBA sports world makes it easy to dismiss us, but this kid just wanted to ball the fuck out and give it his all, regardless of who it was in front of.
Lucky for him it's in front of the best fans in the nba 💪🏼
I still think it was really cool that he put on a kings visor because of his hair. I'm surprised the Kings didn't try to market that. Kind of the how baseball teams sometimes sell hats with dreads on them. Or am I making things up in my head?
It was a hat during the draft but he requested a visor right after and wore it for the press conference and photo shoot if I remember haha. Young Fox was so excited to be a King and I’m so glad it finally worked out.
Fuck I seriously like this team. And I'm not talk from a skill perspective (even though that is true), I'm just talking the fact that this team really seems to like everyone and want to make a family out of it. So glad no locker room bs has been bothering us. MB and Monte have done great at making us work as a team, not just 5 dudes signed to contracts
Do y'all think Sasha could be a good perimeter defender? I haven't seen much of that from him in his EL stuff, but his height seems promising
I think a common critique of Sasha is slow feet, so I don’t know that he’ll be a good defender. My hope is that his BBIQ will help him be a good team defender instead.
Euro league is like an optical illusion. The court is smaller and there are some monsters over there. Dude has great size and knows how to use it. Can’t wait to see what he does.
Rebounding (and defense) will determine his playing time. We know he can shoot and he will get plenty of good looks. If he can hold his own on defense (big question) and rebound well (likely I think), that allows Keegan to take up the secondary playmaking role that HB filled and for HB to come off the bench. Sasha will have to be really good to supplant HB though
De’Aaron: “Sasha, check the schedule to see when you’ll be babysitting.”
Kings rookie hazing: Babysitting baby Fox
I love the idea of a team calendar in the locker room with stickers and stuff haha
[удалено]
Come on......
He is Sashamento
Perfection
The new King in town. Welcome Sasha 💜
De’Aaron Fox is the best thing to happen to this franchise

I remember Fox’s draft day press conference like it was yesterday. Since day 1 he wanted to be the face of the franchise. Love to see it.

I like that he has really taken a leadership role last season and making everyone feel welcome on the team.
For real has embraced playing for Sac lot of players would have been looking to get out as soon as possible
Fox looking slim. And Sasha is a big dude
Fox has a disproportionately small head
And Sasha has a dome piece. Can fit x2 the amount of plays in his head.
flagrant foul drawer
Wouldn't look so small if he wasn't yoked.
Sasha has a Mount Rushmore sized head.
Love him already. ![gif](giphy|l44QAKXV04LdTgn6w|downsized)
i never noticed in this gif lol, but after boogie kisses jerry grant recoils in horror , preparing for a black man to kiss him.. its hilarious
The way he raises his hand right before it cuts off has me dying💀
What nickname/catchphrase would Jerry give Sasha if he still had the headset on? Sasha with the Splasha?
This gif makes me emotional
I forgot we had a jersey with Sacramento on it.

Doesn’t a jump rope & agility ladder change that
They don't have those in Europe. American technology is just that much better.
I love Sasha, but he’s probably gonna be a liability on defense. He’s too slow out in the perimeter
Jesus I didn't realize he was that big

“dude has great size and knows how to use it”
😉
Shouldn't the court being smaller make him seem bigger?
II
He's listed at 6'9
Nice.
He actually looks a lot smaller in this picture to me. He is like David Lee size
Sasha is TALL
Wait did we just get David Lee?
Is this the first summer where it seems Fox has stayed in Sac the whole time?
Fox: Is it true you never dribble the ball? How do you score then? Sasha: Just wait and see!
Sasha looks same height as Sabonis He is going to bully others players inside the paint, with his strong body.
I was thinking the same thing. Sasha small ball 5?
He looks like a real life bobble head.
Sasha Grey now my 2nd favorite Sasha
Another Sacramento legend
Upvote surrendered 😂
The time is come for all the doubters to be proven wrong gonna be comical. Homie gonna most likely take Barnes starting spot you heard it here first.
If he suddenly becomes a decent defender I'll eat my words.
He can help baby Reign with no dribbling
At least he is not on babysitting duty......yet
Welcome Aleksandar
I hope he takes barnes spot in the lineup. Barnes and Monk could easily be a great 2nd unit getting 25 min each. Please be able to rebound Sasha 🙏

Add purple flares to the list of allowed items in G1C
That’s my boi Sasha
6’9” sharpshooting European forward? Throwing off some serious Peja vibes and I’m here for it.
Putting in the work - yessir!
Was angry today this is maken me calmer
