On Monday, the Sacramento Kings hosted their annual media day, offering local journalists direct access to returning players like Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine, as well as newly signed Ben Simmons. The event was livestreamed by outlets such as KCRA, allowing fans to engage with the players in real-time. However, a significant issue arose when the microphones inadvertently captured conversations among the media members.
Several reporters openly discussed how some of the players were attractive, even if they lacked appealing personalities. One reporter described Ben Simmons as "cringe" but "hella fine," while another remarked that LaVine was "hella fine" but found his personality annoying. LaVine received compliments for his appearance, with one person noting that he had a smooth complexion and was tattoo-free.
The conversation also touched upon ranking the players by their attractiveness, with one individual ranking Simmons ahead of LaVine due to his youthful looks and skincare routine. The incident quickly became a hot topic on social media, and the KCRA livestream was halted and subsequently deleted.
