Sacramento native and recently Oscar-nominated film director Greta Gerwig recently shared her pride for her hometown and love for the Kings on an episode of The Bill Simmons Podcast.
The Lady Bird director has put Sacramento in the spotlight in the film industry as of late with the city serving as the setting for the film - with many local landmarks featured. When asked about her hometown’s team, Gerwig recalled the vibes around the city during the 2002 NBA Playoffs.
“Everybody put [the Kings emblem] up in their window. Everyone was wearing purple every day,” said Gerwig.
