Vivek Strikes Again! Anjali Ranadive, Vivek Ranadive's daughter has been hired as an assistant general manager of the Stockton Kings, the Sacramento Kings' G-League affiliate. You'd imagine that we were spicy and jealous, but rather we are concerned that the basketball people can't do basketball things. Best of luck to you, Anjali. We're rooting for you, if only because we can't do anything else. Then we talk Shaedon Sharpe, Jaden Ivey, and trading the 4th pick in the 2022 NBA draft...

Why are the Sacramento Kings the laughingstock of the NBA? Why does every 14-year-old Twitter user call the Kings a ‘poverty franchise?’ And ultimately why has this lamentable franchise missed the playoffs for 16 consecutive years? We break down our three reasons why and if our one change in decision making would’ve broken the streak. Featuring guest Kevin Burdick, noted Kings fan and former employee. We aren’t Glassdoor but it is fun nonetheless. Bevs on tap - Tyler - Celsius Sugar-Free -...

We play armchair gm and fix the Sacramento Kings again, talk impending doom, Russia announcing Ukrainian invasion on Tiktok, and more. We also remind you all that we broke the news that Tristian Thompson is retiring from NBA basketball at the end of this season. Just a heads up. No bevs because we forgot. Alvin drank some Glacier Cherry Frost Gatorade during the pod though, and it was what he would call "delicious to the taste." That's a joke for those in the know. Subscribe, subscribe,...

Tristan Thompson is the father, but also apparently he's retiring after this year? Wild.

Nick & Tyler: It's cold in NYC. No bevs. Like what...

Something something definition of madness same thing over and expecting a different result something something. That is the life of the Sacramento Kings fan, we reckon.

Six NBA head coaching vacancies, shocking resignations, and a “mutual parting of ways” makes the coaching the Wild west of the NBA.

Welcome to the Bev Boys Basketball Broadcast, where we talk bevs, basketball, and anything else we want really. Today's conversation revolved around the Sacramento Kings and rumors of Richaun Holmes suitor offers of up to $20 million per year. Is he worth the cost, and if so can the Kings even afford to keep him? Or does his departure leave us experiencing Holmes-lessness? At least we have Kyle Guy doing in-game windmill dunks. Then we go into our favorite head coach, Luke Walton, and vent....

Alvin, Tyler, and Nick break down not only our picks for the NBA 2021 MVP race but our top five picks, with some surprises.

In this week's episode, Tyler imagines what things might look like had Monte McNair decided to match Bogdanovic's contract. What opportunities that might've provided for the Kings having him as another asset or as a critical part of the team moving forward.  We also discuss the recent top 25 under 25 list put out by ESPN. The Kings have 2 players on that list which is pretty neat, but wait what's this?... LaMelo Ball is #3 on that list!? Yet another Ball Blaspheme.   Bevs on tap...
