This was Fox’s chance to at least gain some popularity and he chose to not care. To not even try for fans, it’s disappointing. He’s not making the all star team next year with Kyrie in the west now. Too many guards in the west that are more popular and more willing to actually show effort in the all star game. What is he saving is energy for? You don’t see Tatum, Brown, Mitchell or Dame worried about that. He’s gotta want to play basketball. It has to be an innate obsession and passion for him. That’s what separates the all time greats from the rest of the pack. But to be in a game and actively decide to not do anything? SMH.
All
Star game looks crappy now
The new way they do it makes it look cheesy , I liked the way they did it in old days
Maclung dunks were not that good , actually cheap gimmick dunks using the guy holding the ball to push off to get up high enough to get high scores
I don't think many people watch the game, I close my TV in the 2nd quarter.
The NBA is a total joke.
Fox clearly didn’t care. And we spent either. Kings are 3rd seed
I tried to tweet something positive but NGL that was disappointing to see #5's approach out there. I was so excited for him to make his first all star game was pushing family members to vote for him all season. There are so many nba fans that know very little about his game and he comes across as ungrateful dude that doesn't care about putting on a show for the fans. I'm so sick of this idea of conserving energy…..I've said this before but any player whose been on the Kings for 5 yrs plus has all the rest a player can handle and its not like the all star game is strenuous ugh. I really don't like the mentality of his approach and all of our hopes on the Kings being future contenders is on Fox taking his place among the games elite. And as I'm writing this I'm listening to Fox say that he didn't know that the Kings are up against the Blazers on thursday lol smh ok I probably need to let this go lol
He just doesn’t want to get injured. Maybe something’s bothering him or he’s just focused on the bigger picture which is the playoffs. He even said that on the postgame interview. He may or not be an allstar next year but he’s more interested in the games that matters.
To be nice ! This was fox first all star game n it showed. Other than that, not a good look for kings… Kevin huerter was trash. Keegan Murray 1 shot and fox missed a wide open dunk. Kings was 2/3 last picks smh. Hopefully they will be charged up for the rest of the season to make a playoff push. Only sabonis looked good this weekend 🟣 go kings !!
The all-star game was so bad: I’ve seen warmup layup lines with better defense than that.
People don’t realize Fox never cared about being an all star. He was perfectly fine with not going plus he didn’t even get voted in he was in as a replacement so I mean who cares. He just wants to lead his team to wins and I appreciate his priorities.
I say the Sacramento Kings representatives in the all-star event have accomplished a couple of things successfully. First, not to get hurt in a game that does not have any bearing in the standings. Second, to have fun and chances are they did even though their performances was not what their fans expected. I guess the only one that did not enjoy the all-star festivities is Kevin Huerter. The humiliation and the look on his face says it all.
Fox performs like the last 10 games and he will be in all-star conversation next year. Same thing if Sabonis continues his double-double stats. Murray will be back with the rising stars. Huerter, it will be tough to get back there in the 3-point shooting contest. I say Murray has a better chance in a 3-point shootout because his motion is effortless. Huerter on the other hand is a jump-shooter.
