Video suggests that Malik Monk is going to become the next Allen Iverson

It's that time of the year. Weekends are filled with football, leaves are falling from the trees, and NBA training camp is officially upon us.

All week long, the Sacramento Kings have been hard at work as they gear up for their preseason premiere against the Golden State Warriors (October 9, 10:30 PM EST). And according to one social media video, they may be working a little too hard!

Malik Monk doesn't like practice

On Thursday, Sacramento Kings radio reporter Sean Cunningham (a great Twitter follow, by the way) posted a hilarious video on social media (I refuse to call it 'X') regarding fan favorite Malik Monk.

Now, before anyone tries to say anything, we are not implying that Monk is lazy or doesn't appreciate the day-to-day grind. We all know that he is completely bought into the game and this team (hence, Monk taking a pay cut to stay with us and doing it in a manner that helped us maintain our flexibility). But one can't see this funny clip and not think of another time a combo guard gave their thoughts on practice.

Once upon a time (way back in 2002), in a much different (and frankly, darker) context, Philadelphia 76ers star Allen Iverson provided this now-infamous quote about practice.

Obviously, there are some differences between the two clips. First, Iverson was being serious. Meanwhile, Monk was (mostly) joking. And second, Iverson's words were regarding practice as a whole. Monk was simply concerned that head coach Mike Brown and his staff were going against their word and keeping them longer than they had said they would. Who knows, maybe Monk had some dinner plans he was running late for? Or a tee time?

Whatever it was, hopefully, Brown's decision to keep the team later than he was supposed to leads to some victories on the court. If that's the case, I'm sure Monk would have no problem with sticking around for a few extra minutes.
