The Sacramento Kings have never been champions but have had great rosters. They started as the Rochester Royals before moving to Cincinnati. They then became the Kansas City Kings before finally relocating to Sacramento. They had a significant early era with names like Jack Twyman and Maurice Stokes.

Shortly after, Oscar Robertson arrived, one of the greatest basketball players in history who spent a decade with the team. It took time to have a competitive roster again, though we can mention Reggie Theus as an important name from the '80s. In the late '90s and early 2000s, we had one of the best generations with Mike Bibby, Doug Christie, Peja Stojakovic, Chris Webber, Vlade Divac, and the crew.

Recent years have seen standouts like DeMarcus Cousins, Rudy Gay, Isaiah Thomas, who played together and each averaged over 20 points per game in the same season, and De'Aaron Fox, who is the standout player in the current Kings team.
