After Careering Defining Update, Kings? Star De?Aaron Fox and Folks Win Over Internet

Everything seems to be falling perfectly into place for the Sacramento Kings. They have taken a two-game lead in the playoff series against the Golden State Warriors?and recently came to know that the defending champions will be without the services of Draymond Green in game 3. The Warriors are used to Draymond’s fluent defensive play and beating their fellow California side without their star power forward will surely be tougher.

The Sacramento fan base was also hit with some more pleasant news as their own point guard was recently felicitated with an NBA honor. It remains to be seen how the series between the Warriors and the Kings pans out.

Fans react to De’Aaron Fox’s historic win

De’Aaron Fox averaged 25 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.1 assists in the regular season and helped his team finish third in the western conference. He came up big at several key moments for his team in the regular season, proving to Sacramento that he can be relied upon in the big show.

It was only fair that the NBA recognized Fox’s efforts. The league awarded De’Aaron Fox the Jerry West Trophy as the 2022-23 Kia NBA Clutch Player of the Year. Fox was surely pleased when he got the news. In a video posted by him on Instagram, he can be seen celebrating with his family.

Sacramento fans were quite ecstatic when they heard about the point guard’s felicitation. His supporters reacted to the news under the video posted by him.

Here are some of the reactions from his fans:

“This whole city is so proud of our #5”

“Fox has been my favorite player since the Goku days! Now he?s out here in full Frieza form! The only guy I have ever bought a jersey for myself!”

“Name will be in the rafters when it?s all said and done ?”

“Now what was LaVar Ball saying on draft night? Can’t remember over the dominance.”

“Major props to him. Its been fun to watch him develop overtime. I loved watching him play in college as well.”

“Go off Foxy! Sacramento is so proud of you!”

“King of Sac Town”

Although the award surely came as a pleasant surprise, De’Aaron Fox still has job to do. Fox will be looking forward to taking on the Dubs again as game 3 approaches. Sacramento will be relying on Fox to deliver a win on Thursday night too, looking to gain a sizeable lead in the series against the defending champions.
