The Kings Herald Show is back with a bonus special Ask Jerry Anything episode of the podcast. The real NBA offseason is finally here, and with no games, draft, or free agency to discuss, we opened up the podcast to members of the online Kings community so they could ask Jerry Reynolds whatever their heart desires.
Hear Jerry Reynolds tell the story behind his catchphrase "Holy Moley Jimbob Boley", what he thinks makes a good color commentator, his relationship with Ricky Berry, thoughts on a Ben Simmons trade, if "Hoosiers" did a good job depicting small-town Indiana in the 1950s, if cereal is a soup, if the Kings ever asked him to paint a rosier picture of the franchise than the roster and play dictated, and a whole lot more. This was a fun one.
