The name “Swaggy G” was born on ESPN’s “NBA Tonight” broadcast when George Karl – as a part of an April Fool’s Day joke - listed his top three favorite rappers of all time.
Kings All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins sparked the initial conversation when Boogie pulled an April Fool’s Day prank of his own and dropped a fake album titled “Misunderstood” under the pseudonym “Boogie Smooth.”
Cassidy Hubbarth then collaborated with “Swaggy G” to release a fake album of their own, affectionately titled “Ballin’ and Shot-Callin’.”
The now famous screenshot went viral and was shared across Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
So let’s never forget the humble beginnings of our coach’s moniker and celebrate not only his birthday, but all of the “swag” he brings to Sacramento!
Happy birthday, “Swaggy G!”
