I agree he may be underrated but to this extent you’re making it out to be.

The reason you see everybody always complimenting other players is because they’re taking leaps and improving their game every time they step on the court, whereas sabonis is just playing his same game he does every night. Is that a knock on Sabonis? Not at all. He’s literally in the top 10 for MVP talk right now. We all know what he brings to the table, you just see other players getting love because they’re not as good as him (respectively) and they’re making leaps/improvements in their game which is helping us beat teams game after game.

You’re confusing r/kings for r/nba. Fox gets attention because he’s better and playing like an MVP, Keegan’s defensive improvement is HUGE.

Stop the non American card when literally it has been international players who have been winning the award for the last 5 years. If you compare Domas’ production, Jokic and Embiid and even Luka have been doing that consistently for multiple seasons now that to break through the mold and be in the conversation he has to make a huge jump like his 3 pt shooting maybe. 4 of the top 5 best players right now are foreigners so stop portraying Domas like he is ignored. He is not, he is just doing the things that others have already been doing a lot these days. Heck even Sengun is starting to be dishing triple doubles every game.

He has been so aggressive since that Portland game. And I don’t care what people say but that game meant a lot. I could just sense if they didn’t get the W their vibes could’ve gotten worse. Doesn’t matter if the Blazers are a weaker team it’s the NBA these are top notch players. Since Domas has turned himself into a dangerous man. The timely shooting has got me 🤯 if he keeps doing that he’s gonna break through his ceiling where experts have him.

I feel like you’re criminally underrating Huerter’s contributions last night.

We jest. Sabonis is garnering MVP level appreciation around here on a daily level. Anyone saying he doesn’t have charisma, and I mean anyone saying he doesn’t have charisma, can get dickslapped and choke on a salmon. Sabonis is sometimes understated by those who know because he has normalized excellence. He does it every day. Remember the last time he got a triple double? Sure, it was yesterday. When’s the next time? I dunno, probably today. I was listening to the Mavs broadcast for like a second yesterday before I realized I could switch to the Kings broadcast (god, what a magical moment when I realized that). The more annoying of the two guys asked “I wonder who holds the record of almost having a triple double, but he’s like one off?” He was insinuating it was Luka, but I knew the real answer. It’s the guy who’s gotten a double-double 88% of his games in Sacramento. If they kept stats on giving up a bucket because you’re bitching about a call, then Luka would be there.

Domas normalizes excellence and we take him for granted, but we appreciate him.

Anyways, here’s a salmon.

My Saboner is strong for Sabonis but his struggles from the line will be a issue if he does not fix it. Otherwise the good teams will be applying the Hack-a-Shaq technique when playing us.
