The Sacramento Kings, based in Sacramento, California, are a team in the NBA's Western Conference Pacific Division, playing their home games at the Golden 1 Center. The franchise has a long history, originating as the Rochester Royals, moving to Cincinnati, then Kansas City-Omaha, before settling in Sacramento in 1985. The team's colors are purple, black, and silver, owned by Vivek Ranadivé and coached by Mike Brown. The early Sacramento era was defined by exciting teams in the late 1990s and early 2000s, featuring Chris Webber, Vlade Divac, and Peja Stojaković, who played a beautiful, fast-paced style but fell just short of the Finals. The Kings then endured a 16-year playoff drought, the longest in NBA history, which was dramatically broken in the 2022-23 season. The modern Kings, led by the dynamic duo of De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis and the Coach of the Year guidance of Mike Brown, have re-emerged as an offensive powerhouse and a legitimate threat in the West. The fan base, known as the "Sacramento Proud," is famously loyal and creates one of the loudest atmospheres in the league, with mascot Slamson rallying the crowd. The Sacramento Kings have successfully reignited "The Beam" and restored hope and excitement to a city that lives and breathes basketball.
