Great Moments in Sacramento Kings History
Kings Have Prominent Role In NBA History-The Sacramento Kings trace their roots all the way back to the birth of the NBA. In 1949 the franchise was one of 17 charter members of the new league that was created by the merger of the Basketball Association of America and the National Basketball League. Originally located in Rochester and known as the Royals, the club has also been known as the Cincinnati Royals, the Kansas City-Omaha Kings, and the Kansas City Kings. The franchise moved to Sacramento in 1985. It has been a long road for the Kings.
The team won a championship in 1951, but since then the franchise has mostly known frustration. Since the 1955-56 season the club has been a sporadic visitor to the playoffs. From 1968 to 1978 the Kings made only one postseason appearance. In 1995-96, the Kings reached the playoffs after a nine-year absence. But the franchise has had its share of bright lights, too. The club's all-time roster boasts NBA greats Jack Twyman, Oscar Robertson, Jerry Lucas, Happy Hairston, and Nate "Tiny" Archibald. And Bob Cousy, Cotton Fitzsimmons, and Bill Russell have all put in time as head coach. The franchise's glory years are now a distant memory.
In the late 1940s and early 1950s the Rochester Royals ranked as one of the powerhouses of professional basketball. The franchise joined the National Basketball League in 1945 and promptly claimed the NBL crown. The Royals' roster included future coaching legend Red Holzman, pro quarterback Otto Graham, major league catcher Del Rice, and Chuck Connors, who would go on to greater fame as The Rifleman. The next season Rochester broke the NBL's color barrier by signing Dolly King.
2001-2002: Championship Run The Sacramento Kings enjoyed its best season in franchise history, finishing the regular season with the best record in the NBA at 61-21, assuring the Kings the home court advantage throughout the playoffs. Sacramento s 61 wins eclipsed the previous franchise high of 55 victories, set by the 1963-64 Cincinnati Royals and 2000-01 Sacramento Kings. The last time the Sacramento Kings finished the regular season with the best record in the league was when the Rochester Royals recorded a 41-25 mark in 1951-52. Sacramento is making its fourth straight playoff appearance.
The Sacramento Kings soared to new heights during the 2001-02 campaign, winning Sacramento s first-ever Pacific Division title (fifth title in franchise history), despite injuries to All-Stars Chris Webber and Peja Stojakovic, who missed 28 and 11 games, respectively. Sacramento set new franchise records for most wins in a season (61), most home wins in a season (36), and most road victories in a season (25). Their home mark of 36-5 marked the best in the NBA. Additionally, the Sacramento Kings rattled off a franchise-best nine straight road wins. Statistically, Sacramento finished in the league s top five in several categories, including defensive rebounding (1st), scoring (2nd), rebounding (2nd), steals (3rd), field goal percentage (2nd), and assists (4th). The Kings were 44- 7 when scoring 100 points or more. The only other team to reach 100 points more times than Sacramento this year was Dallas (47-10 in such outings).
The Sacramento Kings were well represented in Philadelphia for the 2002 NBA All-Star Weekend on February 10th. Webber made his second consecutive All-Star start and fifth All-Star appearance, recording eight points, three rebounds, four assists, and one steal in 20 minutes. Stojakovic, making his first appearance, tallied 11 points, two rebounds, and one assist in 18 minutes. He also was the winner of the 1 800 CALL ATT Shootout in overtime. Hedo Turkoglu participated in three of the weekend s events. In addition to playing for the sophomore team in the got milk Rookie Challenge, he finished second to Philadelphia s Eric Snow in the Fleer Shootaround. Turkoglu capped off his All- Star Weekend experience by sinking the game-winning three-pointer in sudden-death overtime to give Sacramento the inaugural 3-on-3 989 Sports Hoop-It-Up title.
Lastly, rookie forward Gerald Wallace finished second in the NBA.com Slam Dunk contest presented by RealOne. Individually, the Sacramento Kings won several honors during the 2001-02 season. Adelman was named IBM Coach of the Month for January. Stojakovic was named 2001 Euroscar, La Gazzetta dello Sport s annual award to the top European basketball player, while Webber was named Western Conference Player of the Week (12/31-1/6) and Western Conference Player of the Month for January. Webber and Stojakovic teamed to form one of the most potent tandems in the NBA.
The Kings were 43-8 when Stojakovic scored 20 or more points and 32-9 when Webber tallied 20 or more. Stojakovic scored 20 or more points in 30 of his last 43 games, including 11 of the last 17. He led the team in scoring in 32 games, rebounding in four, and assists in four. Webber reached the 20-point plateau in 38 of his last 47 games and recorded 31 double-doubles this season. He narrowly missed a triple-double by one assist three times during the 2001-02 campaign. Webber led the team in scoring on 35 occasions, rebounding 33 times, and assists in 17 games.
