The Sacramento Kings, tracing their roots back to the Rochester Royals in 1945, hold the distinction of being the oldest continuously operating professional basketball franchise in the United States. The Royals captured the 1951 NBA Championship behind stars like Arnie Risen and Bob Davies before relocating to Cincinnati, Kansas City-Omaha, and ultimately Sacramento in 1985. The franchise’s most celebrated modern era came in the early 2000s under coach Rick Adelman, when the Kings became one of the NBA’s most exciting teams with a fast-paced, ball-sharing offense led by stars Chris Webber, Peja Stojaković, Mike Bibby, Doug Christie, and Vlade Divac. The 2002 Western Conference Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers remains one of the most controversial and memorable series in NBA history, with Sacramento falling in seven games despite being considered championship favorites by many. After years of playoff droughts, the Kings rebuilt around young talents like DeMarcus Cousins, who became a dominant All-Star center but never reached the postseason during his tenure. The modern era under coach Mike Brown has brought renewed success, with point guard De’Aaron Fox, the 2023 Clutch Player of the Year, and All-Star center Domantas Sabonis leading Sacramento to its first playoff appearance in 17 years in 2023. Known for the passionate “Cowbell Kingdom” fan base and the electric Golden 1 Center atmosphere, the Kings blend a historic championship legacy with modern stars aiming to bring Sacramento its first NBA title and sustain playoff success for years to come.
