The Drive Guys were joined Tuesday by Sacramento Kings’ legend Jerry Reynolds. Reynolds has functioned as the Kings’ head coach, general manager, color broadcaster, and plenty more. When speaking with the guys, the conversation began with recent LeBron James and Larry Bird All-Time comparisons.

Jerry Reynolds is more than familiar with Bird, both having grown up in French Lick, Indiana and was able to provide stellar insight. In his opinion, James is more comparable to Magic Johnson than Bird, but he had high praise for the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.

Jerry Reynolds referred to James as “the greatest player” who has ever played.

When is the next Sacramento Kings off-season date of interest?

The NBA Draft is now a two-night event.

Wednesday, June 26th, will act as the first night of the 2024 NBA Draft, where the Sacramento Kings will make their first-round selection (13th). The second round of the draft will be held on Thursday, June 27th, where the Kings will use its 45th overall pick.

Sacramento hasn’t had a first-round pick since 2022, when it selected Iowa product Keegan Murray with the fourth overall pick.
