Podcast appearances and mentions of vivek ranadive

D-Lo & KC continue talking Kings and then talk about Vivek Ranadive's tough night on Twitter.

D-Lo and KC talks about what makes a good sports owner and whether Vivek Ranadive fits that mold.

The guys take a look at Kings ownership and discuss how much the blame lies there and much more on the Kings.

In this episode, how Sacramento's firing of Mike Brown pretty much bounces off him while reflecting poorly on owner Vivek Ranadive; how Minnesota put Julius Randle in position not only to fail, but to be scapegoated; why James McAllister was right to slur Spurs fans; why Aaron Rodgers isn't merely a bad QB; and the intersection of chess, pantaloons and sex toys.

Thanks to owner Vivek Ranadive the Sacramento Kings are once again the laughingstock of the league! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

James Ham, 1320 Kings Insider, The Kings Beat The Warriors used another big 3rd quarter to break open game 2 of the NBA Finals. This time, there would be no 4th quarter comeback for the Boston Celtics. We'll breakdown how the Warriors dominated the Celtics and why Boston fans may not be overly concerned about the outcome. Vivek Ranadive was at last nights game with his daughter. Kings Twitter noticed. Big deal? Little deal? No deal? Plus, Quin Synder is out in Utah, Donovan Mitchell “unsettled”, and Aaron Donald silly retirement story continues. 

Vivek Strikes Again! Anjali Ranadive, Vivek Ranadive's daughter has been hired as an assistant general manager of the Stockton Kings, the Sacramento Kings' G-League affiliate. You'd imagine that we were spicy and jealous, but rather we are concerned that the basketball people can't do basketball things. Best of luck to you, Anjali. We're rooting for you, if only because we can't do anything else. Then we talk Shaedon Sharpe, Jaden Ivey, and trading the 4th pick in the 2022 NBA draft currently owned by the Sacramento Kings. What would we do? It's complicated. Bevs on Tap Alvin Holbrook - Dr. Pepper - 23 flavors might be marketing but it feels like a step up over a Coca-Cola. Like what we're putting out?

It was announced Sunday that the Kings would be hiring Mike Brown to be the new head coach so the guys discuss that, Vivek Ranadive, if this can change the Kings and more.

Well it looks like Monte McNair ended up getting his guy after the Kings hired Mike Brown. Is it time to put an end to the rumors of Vivek Ranadive meddling in basketball decisions?

Sam Amick of The Athletic joined Nick in the second hour and gave more insight to the Mike Brown hire for the Sacramento Kings. Listen as Sam speaks about the Golden State Warriors players love for Mike, how he and Lebron James got along well in Cleveland and why he thinks the hire may not be married to Monte McNair's time in Sacramento. Also hear Sam state that Mark Jackson was only in the running for the job due to Vivek Ranadive fondness of Jackson. In the back end of the hour Nick talks James Harden game four play and how he has finally won a game when he needed to.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Sacramento Kings have settled on former Lakers head coach Mike Brown, in a bit of an upset given the attention that had been given to Mark Jackson as a favorite for the gig. Jackson, though, has interviewed for the Lakers job, so the fact he's still on the market seems very relevant. He does reportedly have the support of LeBron James, but the Lakers (who didn't hire Ty Lue when given the chance a few years ago) have shown that at least when it comes to coaches, they don't always do LeBron's bidding.Does it matter that Kings owner Vivek Ranadive, one of the worst owners in the Association, was reportedly a big booster of Jackson while the basketball ops folks weren't?What about Jackson? He, like Brown, would be a "retread," but one with a very different path and background. He's been talked about for all sorts of jobs since Golden State fired him in 2014, including the Lakers position the last time around. If the Lakers really are going to bring him in, it certainly seems they should have some guarantees from LeBron that he'll be sticking around, first.Finally, should the Lakers maybe wait long enough to build a roster before they hire the coach, and try to match the roster they have to the coach they hire? Can they, with limited flexibility, give the new guy the roster he needs?HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Mike Brown to Sacramento... Mark Jackson still on the market.SEGMENT 2: What reservations are fair to have about Jackson? Which ones aren't? What assurances should the Lakers need from James before committing to Jackson?SEGMENT 3: Are the Lakers putting the cart ahead of the horse hiring a head coach before filling out the roster? Can they actually tailor their personnel to the new guy's strengths, given their limited means?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!PrizePicksCheck out PrizePicks.com and use promo code: “NBA” or go to your app store and download the app today.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Jackson “impressed” Kings majority owner Vivek Ranadivé in his initial interview for the team's head coaching vacancy: ESPN's Jackson is said to have impressed Kings owner Vivek Ranadive in the interview process to date and would appear to have his best shot at a return to an NBA bench since Golden State fired him after the 2013-14 season.Please like, share and subscribe for more NBA coverage. ► Subscribe to our Podcast on iTunes:https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/ck-podcast/id1143709061?mt=2► Subscribe to Leo's YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/c/LeoBeas► Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/c/CowbellkingdomTV► Follow Basketball Zone for

Happy Pascha! A Citizenship Quiz in Honor of Eastern Orthodox Christian Americans pdf: https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/uscitizenpod/pascha-quiz.pdf  I wrote this quiz for several reasons. First, to honor Central/Eastern European-American Heritage. Second, to showcase the diversity in the American Christian community. Third, to celebrate Easter. In the past, Western Christians and the Eastern Orthodox have been divided by religion, history, and politics, but as Americans, we are united as one people, and this year, we are celebrating Easter on the same day. This is recording is an update of a 2017 podcast featuring Branka and her husband Tony, both of whom were from the former Yugoslavia by way of Canada. Branka was a longtime colleague who at the time worked as a Projects Coordinator for OUTREACH AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE NETWORK (otan.us) and had recently became a new US citizen. She then moved on to lead the Capital Adult Education Consortium. In late 2021, she and her family returned to Serbia where she continues to consult on Adult Education and digital literacy matters. Quiz answers: Colonists came to America for freedom. Freedom of religion is that you can practice any religion or not practice a religion. America bought the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803. The two parts of the US Congress are the Senate and the House of Representatives Dianne Feinstein is one of the two US senators from the state of California. Joe Biden is the current President of the United States.  Kamala Harris is the current Vice-President of the United States.  Gavin Newsom is the current Governor of California. The two major political parties are Democratic and Republican parties. The President's Cabinet advises the President. Ro Khanna is the US Representative of San Jose/Milpitas, California. Two ways that Americans can participate in their democracy are join a civic group and join a community group. EXTRA CREDIT: Listen to a great interview with Vlade Divac!

The Kings beat the Phoenix Suns in a game that basically was a scrimmage last night to win their 30th game of the season. That also means they lost 52 games this year. It translated into another failed season. Yesterday Jason Anderson of the Sacramento Bee wrote a scathing column on Kings owner Vivek Ranadive. The article was on point and reveals the toxic work environment within the Kings organization. In a word it is a mess! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

He says the Kings GM Monte McNair is now free of Vivek Ranadive's "guys" and now must produce with his people.

The Kings play host to the Pistons tonight to wrap up a home stand. I can't imagine many people will be in attendance to watch two of the worst teams in the league. Kings fans still want to know what the heck is going on. Where is owner Vivek Ranadive? Is he going to take responsibility for this mess? Will we see any significant deals before the February 10th trade deadline? The Kings lost to the worst team in the conference on Sunday.

Last night it was another embarrassing performance by the Sacramento Kings.  After the game Kings Coach Alvin Gentry apologized to the fans and told them they deserve better.  Boy is that ever true!  What they deserve is new ownership.  Vivek Ranadive has been a failure as owner.  Kings fans will never forget him stepping in at the 11th hour to help save the franchise, but that honeymoon is long gone.  It's time to hear from Vivek!  Fans are staying away from the arena, they are fed up and they want change.  What do you say Vivek?

ESPN 1320 Kings Insider, James Ham joined the guys for a conversation and they discussed Vivek Ranadive wanting Doug Christie to take over as interim coach, whether this organization's main priority is winning and much more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Coworking company WeWork has announced it will finally go public via SPAC merger with BowX Acquisition Corp. WeWork CEO Sandeep Mathrani and Bow Capital’s Vivek Ranadive discuss the deal and their bet on an office space resurgence post-pandemic. Twitter, Alphabet, and Facebook CEOs answered lawmakers’ questions about disinformation dissemination and social media accountability in a marathon virtual House hearing on Thursday. Axios media reporter Sara Fischer and tech and press industry veteran Niki Christoff digest the comments from Jack Dorsey, and Sundar Pichai, and Mark Zuckerberg, and consider what legislation may come next. Plus, Warren Buffett’s made a pitch to Texas, the Suez Canal--and the global shipping industry--is near chaos, and Bernie Sanders is pushing Alabama Amazon workers to unionize. 

So I want to talk a little bit about what's buzzing in the NBA. Maybe they're losing a little control. Look at Harden of the Houston Rockets. ESPN did a story this week and it basically said what I've been ranting about with Harden. And there's the Greek Freak Supermax deal. I'll get into a little more detail than I touched on in the rant yesterday. And then there's The Athletic's ranking of team ownership. Guess who came in dead last? The Sacramento King's Vivek Ranadive. Worst owner in the NBA. What's the constant with lower ranked ownership? Losing teams. Hiring the right people and letting them do their jobs is what generally leads to winning teams. This is true in all sports, not just basketball. So we'll talk a little about that and then it's a big crowd question today. I'm going to get to answer a lot of the questions that have been coming in. Yours may be one of them. And you're going to love the rant since it comes from a listener today. All this and more in today's show.

The Sept. 11 attacks occurred exactly 19 years ago, changing the way we travel and the framing of political issues while also initiating a spasm of new-age jingoism, with religion at its core. For Sacramento Kings co-owner and chairman Vivek Ranadive, a native of India, there was a detectable sense of concern, even danger. That his memories have not faded is apparent in his appearance as a panelist on “Race in America: A Candid Conversation.” Also, 49ers defensive lineman Solomon Thomas shares his experiences of being racially profiled and how constantly needing to explain yourself can be "exhausting."

Happy Pascha! A Citizenship Quiz in Honor of Eastern Orthodox Christian Americans pdf: http://goo.gl/YE8yR8 I wrote this quiz for several reasons. First, to honor Central/Eastern European-American Heritage. Second, to showcase the diversity in the American christian community. Third, to celebrate Easter. In the past, Western Christians and the Eastern Orthodox have been divided by religion, history, and politics, but as Americans, we are united as one people, and this year, we are celebrating Easter on the same day. I would also like to introduce, Branka and Tony, from Canada and the former Yugoslavia. Branka is a longtime colleague who currently Projects Coordinator for OUTREACH AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE NETWORK (otan.us) and recently became a new US ciitizen. Quiz answers: Colonists came to America for freedom. Freedom of religion is that you can practice any religion or not practice a religion. America bought the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803. The two parts of the US Congress are the Senate and the House of Representatives Dianne Feinstein is one of the two US senators from the state of California. Donald Trump is the current President of the United States. Mike Pence is the current Vice-President of the United States. Jerry Brown is the current Governor of California. The two major political parties are Democratic and Republican parties. The President's Cabinet advises the President. Ro Khanna is the US Representative of San Jose/Milpitas, California. Two ways that Americans can participate in their democracy are join a civic group and join a community group.   EXTRA CREDIT: Listen to a great interview with Vlade Divac!

In the 4th episode of Aider & Abettor, Sajid and Avi start with the "Opening Statement" where they discuss recent mass ICE raids across our country, particularly the arrest of a woman at an El Paso County Courthouse as she sought a restraining order against her alleged domestic abuser and how it will impact our criminal justice system and victims rights (0:30). They break down the detention of Daniel Ramirez Medina, a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) recipient, commonly referred to as a “Dreamer,” the legal effort to get him out and his alleged gang affiliations (08:30). In the "Deep Dive" segment, they talk about the arrest of Lauren Kirk-Coehlo for an alleged vandalism of a mosque in Davis, California (18:19). They dive into the layers of this arrest and incident including the Muslim community’s reaction to the alleged hate crime, the $1 million bail amount, Lauren’s reported social media glorification of violent behavior, the media’s use of her yearbook picture rather than a mugshot, whether we’d represent her and what her punishment should look like. Sajid and Avi finish up with their "Thing(s)" of the week (44:50). Sajid shares Defy Ventures, a program designed to channel the talents of the currently and formerly incarcerated in our community into entrepreneurship.
