The NBA draft is Thursday. Thank GOD.

I, like most Kings fans, am scrolling and reading EVERYTHING. Scouting reports, rumors, tea leaves, tarot cards, 20 sided die, you name it.

But this might be going to far:

You see, Vivek and Vlade went to Europe and watched Luka Doncic play. Then they took a pic. In the pic Vivek was doing his trademark hang loose sign (its called something else but I forget). Then Vivek’s son Aneel posted it on his Instagram (I think). Then Luka started using the hang loose in his tweets and stuff (see above). Then someone did research and apparently he’d never done that emoji before.

This is stupid and I don’t like it and I wish they’d just pick a damn player and be done with.
