More on this storyline

Fox scored 49 points. This comes just one game — and one night — after scoring 60 points. "I was a little tired coming in today, but I feel like when the game started, I was fine," Fox said. "I'm not going to say I'm not tired ... but I can't say this back-to-back has made me more tired than any other back-to-back." He became the second Sacramento player to score at least 100 points in a two-game span, with the other being DeMarcus Cousins in 2016 when he scored 104. Fox is just the third player in NBA history to score at least 109 over two days, joining Kobe Bryant (2007) and Wilt Chamberlain (17 different times). "Woah," Kings coach Mike Brown said when he heard that stat, a big grin spreading across his face. "The back-to-back, the overtime game, him playing 75 minutes last night ... for him to come with us missing three of our top six guys, that's what says OK, he's DeAaron Fox and he did his job. Wilt, Kobe, Foxy." -via ESPN / November 17, 2024 Fred Katz: De'Aaron Fox has scored 109 points in the past 27 hours. It's the second-most points a (non-Wilt) player has ever scored on a back-to-back, behind only Kobe Bryant, who once dropped 110 total points on consecutive days . -via Twitter / November 17, 2024 Steph Curry is one of the greatest players to ever lace them up. The four-time champion is one of the most influential players ever — on and off the court. Steph has seen it all and done it all. Recently, he sat down with Dude Perfect, the internet legends who have been dominating YouTube and online views for a decade and a half. Asked who the best five-man NBA roster ever would include, Steph said: "Shaq at the center, Tim Duncan at the power forward, Bron at the three, MJ at the two and me at the one." That's a pretty ridiculous starting five and definitely hard to argue. Shaq might be the most dominant center ever. Duncan is the best power forward ever. LeBron is LeBron. Jordan is Jordan. And Steph versus Magic Johnson is an interesting conversation, to say the least. But there's some additional intrigue here: This lineup has changed for Steph since last year. There's this video of the Steph surrounded by puppies (seriously) while giving his starting five back in July 2023. He still had Shaq at the center, Duncan at the four and Jordan at the two. He initially had Larry Bird at the three but has since replaced him with Kobe Bryant. And he had Magic Johnson at the point. So, in the last year, he has taken Kobe and Magic out of his five and replaced them with LeBron and himself. -via New York Times / November 15, 2024 A star is born every day, but superstars can only be created on nights like this. De'Aaron Fox erupted for a franchise-record 60 points to bring his team back from a 20-point deficit against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Fox did all he could in a breathtaking performance, but the Kings came up short in a 130-126 overtime loss in an NBA Cup game Friday before a crowd of 16,478 at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. "Man, our guys battled," Kings coach Mike Brown said. "They fought. Plenty of opportunities to give up, especially being shorthanded ... but our guys found a way. And my man Foxy — Foxy showed up tonight." -via Sacramento Bee / November 16, 2024
