    Another team will eventually steal the idea shamelessly, and on that day we will be paying attention

    …but in the meantime, this is such a novel idea and identity for a City that has earned it. Light The Beam!

    Gotta give it to the Kings. This is genius.

    Had to look this up:

    How does the Kings’ victory beam work?
    According to Front Office Sports, the beam is powered by four lasers capable of producing 1,000 watts of RGB laser power, making it “the brightest full-color laser equipment in the world.”

    The beam stays on until midnight PT after every Kings’ victory, and the franchise had to receive approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to use it.

  7. I can’t believe I thought this was stupid af when they announced it. So wholesome

    Kings fans are out here tonight really representing that there is a professional NBA team named the Kings and they did win tonight. Y’all are all kings as far as I’m concerned. 👑

    I like to think some coked up guy in the marketing department busted into a conference room rambling about how the kings should shoot a laser into the sky and thus the beam was born

    It’s crazy how much that beam (and a team good enough to light it) has energized that fan bases. It was one of the most passionate fanbases in the league back in the day, it’s great to see that coming back.

    Can you imagine showing this to James Naismith

    Always be thinking about the poor bastards who can’t catch the game live and gotta drive home from work trying to avoid the giant purple spoiler in the sky

    I feel like I’m the only person in this sub that doesn’t think this is the greatest thing ever. I’m glad the fans enjoy it and all, but I’m just sitting here thinking “Has no one seen a spotlight before? Or been to the Vegas strip?”

    The beam is legit a global highlight of 2023
