The Sacramento Kings faced disappointment after the New Orleans Pelicans knocked them out of the Playoff race. However, their star player, De’Aaron Fox, was not disheartened much by the loss and instead looked towards a brighter future.
Fox did a post-game interview, revealing his thoughts regarding the recent loss and the future. A reporter asked him if he saw the season as a setback, and De’Aaron Fox gave him a very calm answer. “I mean, there is obviously something to build off on… The West (Conference) isn’t getting any easier so obviously it is a disappointment not being able to be in the playoffs, not being able to be one of those top elite teams but we have something to build off on and you look forward to it going into next season,” said De’Aaron Fox.

Fox’s remarks exemplified admirably the winner’s mentality, which distinguishes elite athletes from the rest of the pack. His desire for hunger was evident in his words, and the league should be on the lookout for the return of the Sacramento Kings.
