Kings rookie De’Aaron Fox had to take to Twitter to defend himself over the weekend when video emerged that brought his Dragon Ball Z allegiances into question.
De’Aaron Fox is in the middle of a ‘Dragon Ball Z’ controversy
He’s #TeamVegeta all day long.


Fox hit a three during the second quarter of the Kings win over the Mavericks on Friday night, and it seems like he yells “KAMEHA!” after his release. People got excited, Dragon Ball fans loved seeing his shout-out — but one person wasn’t happy:
Why would Fox be so adamant about clearing this up? After all, people were enjoying it. Perhaps it’s because he thought it made him look like he wasn’t taking the NBA seriously, or something — nope:
Any die-hard Vegeta fan doesn’t simply give Goku a shout-out like that. It’s like being a Red Sox fan and starting a Yankees chant. Not going to happen. Fox insists the video is edited, which hasn’t been confirmed yet — but it’s one heck of a good editing job if it was faked.
Either way, Fox is remaining adamant he would never do Vegeta the indignity of giving Goku a shout-out:
Maybe this saga will end after just a weekend, or perhaps it will last another 125 episodes where we get 30 minutes of Fox grimacing while he tries to convince the world it wasn’t him. The latter would be appropriate.
