Sacramento, CA – In federal court this afternoon, an obviously distraught, distressed and straight up dead Mufasa served legal paperwork regarding an NIL (Name Image & Likeness) issue he has with Slamson the Lion, the official mascot of the Sacramento Kings.
Sources familiar with the matter state that the plaintiff, of course the beloved lion father of ‘The Lion King’ fame, listed his date of death as June 24, 1994, the movie’s opening day in the cinema. Meanwhile the aggrieved Mr. Mufasa further states that Mr. Slamson made his debut as the Kings’ mascot in the fall of that same year, 1994, only a few months later.
“Could this at all somehow be a coincidence?”, Mr. Mufasa asked through his lawyer in open court. “I think not. He looks just like me. I think this was a jack move. I’m alive for like a fucking half hour and then I die by my own brother Scar’s paw, then I die again because within months of repeated and repeated and repeated death (repeated because of how many times everyone has seen this classic animated cinematic triumph and not the photorealistic computer animated remake failure reboot of 2019 which I did not even watch), this wannabe lookalike springs the fuck up. Right here in California no less. WTF your honor?”
This is of course a developing story and as of press time, neither Mr. Slamson’s nor Kings team representatives have released a statement. We’ll keep you aware as the drama continues to unfold.
