Tonight I called my 1st game as the analyst for an
@nba
game for the
@SacramentoKings
at
@Golden1Center
and hands down the best moment of my day was coming home seeing a video of my 3 year old daughter trying to hug me on the TV screen. I hope one day she’ll be so proud 💜👑🏀
Proud mom moment…
Just put my little girl to bed. As I was saying good night and shutting the door she said “Goodnight mom. Go Kings!”
I wasn’t sure I heard her right and said what? She goes “I SAID GO KINGS!ll
Damn I’ve done something right! 💜💜
Welcome to the world baby girl. Daddy and I and big brother are so ecstatic that you’re here! 💜💕💗❤️

Man you’re allowed to like who you like and dislike who you dislike. You’re entitled to that. But don’t for one second act like I randomly bring up dryer sheets on the reg in NBA games. I’m always down for constructive criticism but that ain’t it. Happy Holidays
Lakers play by play is so much better than the kings’ and I hate that.
@kayte_c
I want you to get better. Please. I want to hear about the game not about drier sheets.
WOW!!!! Just WOW! What a night!
I don’t think I have even begun to process this night and what it means and how amazing that finish was!

1/2:
For now allow this one to hurt. Once that passes remember…
We weren’t supposed to be here.
All of our hopes at the beginning of the season was to make the play in. No one thought No. 3 was possible.
You don’t go from bottom to top overnight.
To the deplorable asshole who stole my wallet out of my purse at Nugget this morning and proceeded to go to Target and by thousands of dollars of merchandise...you’re disgusting and I hope you get everything you deserve. Way to use this required mask wearing to your advantage
Well done
@utahjazz
fans! I haven’t heard an arena on the road this loud all season. This is one heck of a game and this arena will be crazy to play in during the playoffs
Welp….one would think this would solve all the BS being talked but what would Looney know??? He’s actually the one on the court in the thick of things 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
How bout them
@SacramentoKings
!! 3 straight wins....I know it’s early, and I know what people predicted about this young team prior to the season...but predictions mean nothing. Just wins!!!
#SacramentoProud
The reason I opted to watch this game from home…
There has been A LOT of screaming (unfortunately the dogs are already traumatized)
And I already owe the swear jar $100 🫣
So happy to be back on the call tonight w

family during a very trying time
One thing I love about Harry Giles is that no matter what…big play, fouls out, trash talking, etc. he ALWAYS has a huge smile on his face! How can you not love that?!
The last week has been incredibly difficult. But this moment right here makes me so grateful for the blessings of my family.
This week my husband and I suffered a miscarriage. I cannot even begin to describe...
Ok I’m saying it right now…I’m an idea person not necessarily an execution kinda girl (when it comes to this). I see a t-shirt with 9 boxes….Keegan excited, angry, happy, etc….
We all know it’s the same face! Who’s gonna do this with me?!!
Western Conference’s No. 2 and No 3 teams face off tonight at G1C. Two tickets up for grabs to see

Who HASN’T seen a game in person this season??
Spoke with Iman Shumpert’s father when I was leaving the arena tonight. He said he’s sad to go. He really liked it here. Brought up something I forgot. It was D’Antoni who drafted him in New York. Wish

nothing but the best. It was a pleasure sir.

Kings score 153 on the Nets for their 7th win in 9 games (with the two loses being highly questionable) and yet still the national broadcast was HEAVY Nets oriented 😤
YESSSS!
Gobert just stared down Bjelica after dunking on him on a put back dunk.
Richaun Holmes came in and gave him a nice little bump to send a message that it’s not happening on his court!!!
I’VE BEEN WANTING TO SEE WHO THE MAN WAS GOING TO BE!! Every team needs that ONE
To the deplorable asshole who stole my wallet out of my purse at Nugget this morning and proceeded to go to Target and by thousands of dollars of merchandise...you’re disgusting and I hope you get everything you deserve. Way to use this required mask wearing to your advantage
I guarantee you, and this is saying a LOT, that you will not see a bigger clown take today than this one.
Honestly I’m not even mad.
The clownosity is kind of impressive.
Holy cow.
Kings up 80-59.
Greg Foster, member of Pacers coaching staff, absolutley laying into one of the Pacers players. This is the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. Players yelling back, coaches trying to pull Foster back and calm him down. This is NOT a good look
What a day! Had the pleasure of stepping in for

alongside

when faced with technical issues. Studio analyst, sideline & color analyst all in a day 🤪 Been 10 years since I’ve been on a game call. Rusty but felt amazing!!
#needsleep
Vlade just came up to me after the baby races during the timeout and said “Kayte, next time!” pointing to the baby race! Jayde isn’t even crawling yet but Vlade’s trying to draft her! lol
There are good people in this world. This morning when my wallet got stolen from Nugget in West Sac the woman checker was so kind to buy me my groceries. When my husband showed up to pay, she said I feel so bad for you and I wanted to buy your groceries. Thank you for ur kindness
Just sank a shot from 20 feet to the floating hoop in the kiddos’ pool on my first attempt. No one here to see it. Celebrated like it was in front of 17,000 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤣
KINGS WIN! KINGS WIN!
They complete a season series sweep of the San Antonio Spurs for the first time in franchise history!
Kings: 113
Spurs: 106

It’s a girl!!! Little baby girl Hunter due September 18th. Joseph and I couldn’t be more excited to welcome our little princess into this world. Big brother is SUPER excited to meet his little sister 💜 You have no idea how much love you’re about to feel baby girl 👼🏼🤰🏻🤱🏻
BIG HOME OPENER TONIGHT for

@Jazz
!
Kings fans…who has never been to a home opener before? Hit me up there might be something good in it for you!
Any parent who feels it is acceptable behavior to act this way should be banned from attending youth sporting events. YOU are the cause of the epidemic of kids who disrespect umpires/officials. YOU are setting a deplorable example. And bc of you your kids will never succeed.
I’M ABOUT TO MAKE SOMEONE’S DAY!! Ok
@SacramentoKings
fans!! Who wants to win a pair of tickets to tonight’s home opener?!!
It’ll be a random draw so if you reply to this make sure you keep checking your twitter feed between now and 4 pm to see if you’ve won!
THERE IS NO PLACE QUITE LIKE SACRAMENTO WHEN THE BASKETBALL ON THE COURT IS EXCITING!! The fans had
@Golden1Center
rocking tonight!! Couldn’t be more
#SacramentoPROUD
Such a sad day for basketball fans around the world. Kobe Bryant’s impact on basketball and the NBA will forever be felt. My heartfelt condolences go out to his wife and four daughters. Such complete disbelief right now. This is when LIFE surpasses rivalries. RIP Kobe
I don’t even know how to handle myself. I got engaged and pregnant this season and Jerry Reynolds is retiring. Two things I quite honestly never thought would happen and one I prayed never would. I am beyond words to express how much I will miss Mr. Reynolds 👑🏀

@MarcJSpears
on the Kings; “Sacramento Kings are going to the playoffs. The Sacramento Kings are going to break the curse and Keegan Murray is going to be rookie of the year.”
You won’t find someone in the NBA national media with more praise than Spears.
See these are the things that kind of irk me. This and people that say “they don’t deserve to be in the playoffs”. Is it embarrassing to be above .500, have more wins than they have since 2007 AND having fair exceeded expectations? Too many people lacking perspective right now.
I know a lot of people are struggling now in current climate. I was at Lowes’s today in West Sac and my checker told me to please share with anyone I know that they are hiring and in desperate need of help. So I’m doing just that...sharing with all my Twitter folks.
What’s your Friday night lookin like?!
How about a
@SacramentoKings
game??
Two tickets for two lucky Kings fans! Ready go…..
(Make sure you’ve got your notifications turned on they got fast!)
Just passed by Vlade in the tunnel, he stopped me to tell me that New Orleans just lost to T-Wolves! Told him best part is the fact that they have to get on a plane right now to fly to Dallas because they have the Mavericks tomorrow. You can literally feel his excitement!!!
I really really can see Marvin Bagley III concienciously working to get better defensively. He’s making more defensive plays. Yes, the mistakes are definitely still there. But even seeing his stance, positioning, etc…he’s making and taking small steps in the right direction.
The only way to fix these types of losses and prevent them in the future is to actually experience them. It won’t be long before they figure it out and this all changes in their favor
I’ve heard the announcers for TNT tonight pronounce Bogdan Bogdanović’s name three different ways. It’s ridiculous on so many levels. He certainly deserves and is worthy of the courtesy of learning how to say his name correctly. 😡🙄
I’m sorry...say it again for me please!!! I’m not sure I heard you correctly
I’m so not used to positive
@SacramentoKings
news being shared by national outlets!!!
Way to go keyboard warrior. Why don’t you talk trash a 20 year old kid playing in his first NBA season when you probably can’t get picked at a YMCA pick up game.
(1 of 3) After much contemplation I’ve decided to postpone my return to work until Dec 4th. That little girl is pretty much all the explanation needed 💗
I recently learned about a change in

My husband must love me A LOT! Nothing gives me more joy than digging in the dirt in my garden so he built me the perfect garden to match the flower garden he built me last year! ☺️
Conversation with Lakers fan:
Him: Can I ask how tall you are without your heels?
Me: 6’3”
Him: (Blank stare. Look on his face is doubting if I know my own height)
Me: (forced smile)
Him: I guessed 5’11”
Me: You were way off man (inserts ear piece, tries not to punch him)
Everyone is battling something every single day. You may know know what it is or even be able to see the outward signs of the struggle. Kindness goes so far and more often than not, there is a serious lack of it towards total strangers. Just remember, your interactions matter
There is nothing more saddening to me than fans who completely lack perspective. First answer me this…what DID you expect this season? Honestly. Now tell me do you still think the last month has been embarrassing??
