Apparently, you don’t need to make the postseason to be ‘honored’ in the ‘Gone Fishin’ segment on TNT.

Usually reserved for a team who has been eliminated from the NBA playoffs, the crew on Inside the NBA decided to honor a few teams who weren’t able to find their way to the postseason this year and of course, the Kings were the first team on the board.

Poking fun at Kings minority owner and TNT host Shaquille O’Neal, ‘Shaqramento’ (as he overly enjoys calling himself) was spotted along the dock with Isaiah Thomas, Kevin Johnson and Rudy Gay showing off their big catch as they sat out the NBA’s postseason.

But where was DeMarcus Cousins? They couldn’t exclude one of the Kings biggest stars, could they? Of course not – Cousins was in the photo, apparently screaming in the lake.

Maybe it’s a new fishing method.
