The Sacramento Kings did not get the All-Star Game selections they were hoping for, but it wasn’t for a lack of trying.
The Kings entered Thursday third in the West at 29-21. They seemed like a good candidate to have De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis make it as All-Stars reserves. The Kings apparently sent some nice gifts to the Western Conference coaches to drum up support for Fox and Sabonis.
Each NBA coach vote on the reserves for their respective conferences. Coaches choose two guards, three frontcourt players and two players at any position to comprise the seven reserves.
According to what Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said Thursday, the Kings sent West coaches wine and basketball cards.
