You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

About 25 years ago, he was the second pick in the draft out of Arizona.

He won a Natty there back in the late 90s, played for a decade and a half in the NBA,

made a couple of finals appearances. And the last time the Kings

were really special. Mike Bibby was their guard on a loaded team. Actually, we talked about this

earlier. One of the better NBA teams that did not get to a final in my lifetime, a really loaded

team. So you watch Sacramento, and it's interesting, Mike, they've got some

components of Golden State, is that a really smart lead guard who's great late, a coach that's

been around the league, a Steve Kerr, Mike Brown, they've got a tough guy down low, Drayon Green, Sabonis. And they draft and develop the last

couple of years pretty well. Do you believe this team is now ready to move past Golden State? Can they

close this thing out? I think they can. I think they need to get at least one game in Oakland. I think if they get one game in Oakland, I think they could come back home and close it out. But if the Warriors is out there, now it's a three-game series. I think that puts a lot of pressure on the Kings in order to try to finish him off. Yeah. What do you make of De Aaron Fox?

Have you liked him first day in the league?

Does he remind you of anybody?

I love his game.

Just his athleticism, how quick he is.

He kind of has that dog in him that a lot of people don't have. He has a lot of heart and he's not scared to fail. You know, I wish he would be a little bit more aggressive and, you know, trying to get to the basket and not just waiting to the fourth quarter. But, you know, I mean, however they coach is, however they coach him. But I would like him to see be a little bit more aggressive. Dramon Green. I've said, I grew up in the 70 Blazers had Maurice Lucas, and the Pistons had Bill Lambeard, my sonics had Lonnie Shelton, Dennis Rodman. There's always been a tough guy. Charles Oakley, I like tough guys. Dale Davis for the Pacers, guys you didn't want to mess around with.

I think Draymond's a defensive catalyst.
