Before Saturday's game against the LA Lakers, the Sacramento Kings fired coach Mike Brown and named Doug Christie as the interim head coach. It was widely criticized by coaches and other basketball personalities around the NBA. Lakers announcer Stu Lantz took a shot at the Kings during the game's broadcast.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, stand-up comedian Jay Aquino pointed out Lantz's remarks about the Kings. The former NBA player and long-time Lakers announcer put the blame on the players rather than Brown, who helped Sacramento end their playoff drought in 2023.
"Mike Brown didn't play any defense. He left that up the guys on the floor," Lantz said.
