The full convo with Kevin is so fun. He's got some great perspective on this Kings season. https://youtu.be/nbeC9HmcyJ4
If they retire it, crazy how daddy curry was the last one to light it
It’s always better to retire something too early than do it too late, but I think they can get another season or two out of it.
Why would they retire it?
It's one of the most fun things in the NBA. Don't retire it. It symbolizes a new era of basketball in Sacramento. It's a fun and young team.
I’d use it only for game winners and the playoffs.
KEEPIN THE BEAM
Light it only after playoff series wins and do some sort of prize where a fan gets to light it
Those Jimmy ninja headbands were and still are goated
The beam was the most fun thing any team has done in a while. Maybe bring it back for the playoffs
JJ has this Too cool for school mentality
It’s not as dramatic or cool as lighting the beam but the Phillies ring this light up liberty bell after every home win and wouldn’t want them ever to stop doing it. The beam is dope; they should keep it.
Reunion towers in Dallas does this for mavs and rangers win? A little different but kinda the same?
I could be wrong. But the beam seems expensive I don’t think they can just get rid of it
76ers use to have the massive Bell that celebrities rang before the game.
This is probably the closest thing.
It’s just awesome to see in Sacramento. I don’t know what expectations have to do with it, it just doesn’t get lit when they lose. It’s not like they’re hanging a permanent banner for each win.
Free Tacos after a Lakers win? I would guess other teams do that too.
It’s a culture thing. I think they should only ever retire it if the kings are a bad team again.
WE WANT TACOS! WE WANT TACOS!
It's not a gimmick it's a ritual
its cute how jj still kinda views himself as part of their gen of basketball players and kevin clearly sees jj as a past gen player.
Not a baseball fan but live in Anaheim and the angels still light the halo after every W
Lighting the beam just lets everyone in Sacramento know the team won today.
It’s like fireworks in a baseball stadium.
Keep the beam, it’s unique, it’s fun.
How were they using the beam in the regular season? I thought they light 4 beams for a series win
The people yearn for the beam. Do not get rid of it
Its unique to the Kings i say keep it, But I would only use it for big games. A handful of regular games might be worth it but other than that big playoff wins only
I don't think it needs to retire. Cubs still "Fly the W" even after winning the world series.
Kevin used to go to school 10 minutes from me in HS. He played volleyball too and we used to at it with Shen. Man it's crazy to see him here now
think the beam should come out during playoff time only
Retiring the beam would be…."malpractice."
How is this even a question? OF COURSE WE’RE BRINGING THE BEAM BACK!
Idk I like the beam, because Winning isn't easy.
Just HAD to dunk on Huerter's handband hahahah
