Final thought.

In the NBA after one of his many good games. I talk about Luka Doncic with my basketball friends. He is that special, safe bet to be a franchise-changing addition for the Mavericks in my book.

What you won’t see from me is talking about Luka and Marvin without saying Bagley is “a King” therefore we must support him. You can still compare or talk about “what if the Sacramento Kings” had picked Luka? It is human nature to do so.

Marvin had no control over what team drafted him or where he was selected in the draft. His finger injury in his first NBA contest this season was on a hustle play with the game out of reach. How can you fault a guy who plays hard all the time?

This is why Sacramento Kings’ Richaun Holmes became a fan favorite. So stay positive while Bagley follows the medical staffs’ rehab protocol. If you feel the need to criticize the medical staff, Vlade, Walton, Vivek, or the team.

That is a fan’s God-given right. Blaming Bagley for not being Luka Doncic is not good for the team. It isn’t realistic and serves no purpose. The Sacramento King’s community since 1985 has shown the love for the team and players.

Next. The Kings can beat the Mavs. dark

Fans will always question some of the choices of management or coaches at times. Heal up Marvin and remember if you work hard and play hard. This blue-collar city will stand behind you. It will all be forgotten when you help the squad make the playoffs.
