Why do so many people care about the Kings?

No, we don't. The fans of every other team still criticise us for booing Gaze Jr. & Sr. for winning the title at our stadium in 1993. That's how much the public love Gaze.

Wildcats fans still get criticised for booing Gaze in 1993. That's how much people love the guy despite not being Tigers supporters.

Bias often gets the better of him, and has said some dumb things at times, with his "fold the league" thing at the upper end of the list, but to me he's still a legend with his heart in the right place so I'm hoping he pulls through ok too.

Mind you, failing at your first attempt at head coaching isn't necessarily a sign that you have no future in it. There's a lot that goes into being successful at it, and virtually starting off at NBL level is a big ask.

I always hated gaze when he was playing because he used to carve us up every time. But he is an icon of the game and a lovable larrakin and i hope he can succeed as a coach.

Might be responding to a troll, but the majority of people like Andrew Gaze. He's a great, easy-going, personable type. Hopefully he pulls through as coach but otherwise he can return to commentary any day.

Im a Perth fan but at same time I want Sydney and Melbourne markets to do well.

Ditto. I don't want to see any team fail because it's bad for the league.

Pretty silly coming to a basketball forum and wondering why people are talking about a newsworthy basketball topic.

All Sydney teams, no matter the sport are a joke and waste of time. Players go to the big smoke just for the money, it's a very individualistic society in Sydney where the players are in it for themselves, and the fans who watch only turn up if they are winning.

Zzz.

Same reason why everyone stares at a car crash...

Same reason why you're more than capable of NOT looking at them...

If you don’t want to read about them, ignore the threads. People are just excited to have something troubled to discuss.

It's the first big news story after a loooooong preseason. We've been starved of juice. Also Gaze is much beloved and JvG is the opposite so it's these two personalities that make it more interesting rather than the Kings which are a shell of a club.
