Ben Simmons to the Kings, Sabonis Exit Rumors & the Kawhi Disaster

from KINGSPOD 2020

KingsPod2020 is back. Toke and Geoff break down the Kings' one-year deal with Ben Simmons, what Domantas Sabonis changing agents could mean for his future in Sacramento, and why the NBA agent ecosystem drives Toke insane. We also discuss the allegations in the lawsuit filed by a former Kings athletic trainer, where things stand with Doug Christie entering a critical season, and the enormous punishment handed down in the Kawhi Leonard/Clippers cap-circumvention case. Then we ask whether the full Kawhi era — including the Paul George trade — could go down as one of the most catastrophic transactions in NBA history, before turning to Darius Acuff, Emanuel Sharp, Alex Karaban, Maxime Raynaud and the rest of Sacramento's Summer League group. Finally, we give our early Kings win projections and discuss whether 2026-27 could bring more parity to the NBA.

The Athletes' Voices Andreia Do you believe that female athletes are not as interesting as male athletes? Not as strong or performant? What if I told you that your perception probably comes from the poor media coverage in women’s sports?UNESCO estimates that globally 4% of sports media coverage is about women. According to a study published in 2020: Female athletes receive the same amount of news coverage as they did in the 1980s. They are also often photographed in “passive” poses, compared to the “active” poses of their male counterparts.I believe, it’s time to change that!This podcast is for anyone who wants to learn about women’s sport. But I’m doing it mostly for women who like me felt like they could never understand sports, that it wasn’t their place but still deep down had an interest in it.So let’s keep learning with the athletes’ voices!
