They originated in, as the Rochester Seagrams (a team) in 1923 and joined the in 1945 as the Rochester Royals.
They jumped to the, forerunner of the NBA, in 1948. As the Royals, the team was often successful on the court, winning the in. It, however, found it increasingly difficult to turn a profit in the comparatively small market of Rochester and to in, becoming the Cincinnati Royals.
In the team relocated to, and was renamed the Kansas City-Omaha Kings because it initially split its home games between Kansas City and. In, the Kings ceased playing home games in Omaha and simply became the Kansas City Kings. The team again failed to find success in its market and moved to Sacramento in. The logo of the Rochester Royals The Royals defected to the NBL's rival, the, in 1948.

As for the word “Kings,” that was hand lettered—designed by Tom O'Grady, the Creative Director for the NBA in the mid-nineties when the logo was redesigned.
A year later, the BAA absorbed the remaining NBL teams to become the. The move to the BAA took away Rochester's profitable exhibition schedule, and placed it in the same Western Division that was in. Of the two best teams in pro basketball, only one of them could play in the league finals from 1949 to 1954. Minneapolis, with, was almost always a little better at playoff time than the Royals. With their smallish arena and now-limited schedule, the Royals became less profitable even as Harrison maintained a remarkably high standard for the team, which finished no lower than second in its division in both the NBL and BAA/NBA from 1945 to 1954. Harrison knew that the NBA was outgrowing Rochester, and spent most of the 1950s looking for a buyer for his team.
The Royals won the NBA title in by defeating the 4–3. It is the only NBA championship in the franchise's history. The title, however, did not translate into profit for the Royals. The roster turned over in 1955, except for Bobby Wanzer; the team moved to the larger. Now a losing team filled with rookies, the Royals still did not turn a profit.
Meanwhile, the NBA was putting pressure on Harrison to sell or relocate his team to a larger city. With this in mind, the 1956–57 season was the Royals' last in Rochester. The Royals' stay in Rochester featured the services of nine future members of the Basketball Hall of Fame, one member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and a Hollywood Walk of Famer:, and. 1957–1972: Cincinnati Royals. Logo used in Cincinnati In April, the Harrison brothers moved the Royals to. This move followed a well-received regular season game played at on February 1, 1957. The change of venue had been said to have been suggested by Jack Twyman and Dave Piontek, who were two of several roster players on the new Royals from that region.
Cincinnati, which had a strong college basketball fan base and no franchise to compete with, was deemed the best choice for the Harrisons. The Royals name continued to fit in Cincinnati, often known as the 'Queen City'. During the team's first NBA draft in Cincinnati, the team acquired and guard.
They teamed with the 1–2 punch of Maurice Stokes and Twyman to produce a budding contender in the team's very first season in the Queen City. Injury to Marshall and the loss of star guard to military service dropped the team into a tie for second place in the NBA Western Division during the 1957–58 season's second half. In the season's finale, All-Pro star struck his head when he fell after pursuing a rebound. He shook off the effects of the fall, even as he had briefly been unconscious. After Game One in the playoffs three days later, Stokes' head injury was greatly aggravated by airplane cabin pressure during the flight back to Cincinnati for Game Two. He suffered a seizure and was permanently hospitalized, a tragedy that greatly shook the team. Stokes, a tremendous talent who could play center, forward and guard, was 2nd in the NBA in rebounds and 3rd in assists, a double-feat only has matched for a full season.
Without Stokes, the team nearly folded. Fellow All-Star Twyman rose to All-Pro level the next two seasons for Cincinnati, even as the team posted two 19-win seasons. The 1958–59 Cincinnati team featured five rookies, with Lovellette, King and other key players having left the team in the wake of Stokes' tragic injury.
The Harrisons, under pressure to sell to a local group, sold to a local ownership headed by Thomas Woods. The fact that Stokes was simply dumped by the team and the new ownership infuriated many. Jack Twyman came to the aid of his teammate, and even legally adopted Stokes. Raising funds for Stokes' medical treatment, Twyman helped him until his death in April 1970. The 1973 feature film, which co-starred actors and, dramatized their story. Shooting often for the beleaguered team, Twyman was the second NBA player to average 30 points per game for an NBA season. Twyman and Stokes were later named Hall of Famers.
1960–1970: The Oscar Robertson era. Robertson averaged over 30 points per game in six seasons and won six NBA assist titles while with the Royals In 1960, the team was able to land local superstar. Robertson led a team that included Twyman, and over the next three seasons. The Royals reversed their fortunes with Robertson and rose to title contender. An ownership dispute in early 1963 scuttled the team's playoff chances when new owner Louis Jacobs booked a circus for Cincinnati Gardens for the week of the playoff series versus the champion.
The Royals' home games were at 's. In late 1963, another local superstar, joined the team. The Royals rose to second-best record in the NBA. From 1963 to 1966, the Royals contended strongly against Boston and the, but won no titles. The team's star players throughout the 1960s were and Jerry Lucas.
Robertson met with individual success, averaging a triple-double in and winning the Most Valuable Player award in. Robertson was a league-leading scorer and passer each season. Lucas was Rookie Of the Year in 1964, led the league in shooting, and later averaged 20 rebounds per game over three seasons. Both were All-NBA First Team selections multiple times. The team failed to keep promising players and played in the tough NBA East division, dominated by the Boston Celtics, even as a Baltimore team played in the West Division for three years, denying the team likely visits to the NBA Finals. In 1966, the team was sold to and.
That same, the Royals began playing some of their home games in neutral sites such as (until the began play in 1970), and which was the norm for the rest of the Royals tenure in the Queen City. New coach traded Lucas in 1969. Robertson was traded to in 1970, where he immediately won an NBA title. The declining franchise left Cincinnati shortly thereafter, moving to in. 1972–1985: Kansas City–Omaha/Kansas City Kings.
This section possibly contains. Please by the claims made and adding. Statements consisting only of original research should be removed. (February 2015) The Royals, before moving to Kansas City, renamed themselves the Kings to avoid confusion with the baseball team. The team initially divided its home games between Kansas City and until, when it abandoned the Omaha market.
During that time the team was officially called the 'Kansas City-Omaha Kings'. The move from Omaha marked the opening of the 16,785-seat in Kansas City. During the first days the Kings played at the 7,316-seat. While in Omaha the team played in the 9,300-seat. 1972–1976. Led the NBA with 34.0 points per game and 11.4 assists per game in the 1972–73 season The team netted a new superstar in, who led the league in scoring and assists in the 1972–73 season.
The Kings later played several home games in St. Louis during the early 1980s to large crowds.
While still in Cincinnati, the Kings introduced a most unusual uniform design, which placed the player's surname below his number. The design remained intact through the first several seasons of the team's run in Sacramento, even when the shade of blue on the road uniforms was changed from royal blue to powder blue, and the script 'Kansas City' which adorned the road jerseys was scrubbed after the move in favor of a repeat of the 'Kings' script on the home shirts. The Kings' back jersey template was later adopted by the and the, as well the NBA during the since 2006.
The Kings had some decent players throughout., the shooting forward, 'Jumpin' Johnny Green, and helped Archibald in the first year in Kansas City. Was a fan favorite. Teamed with Archibald as the Kings made the playoffs the second year.
Sam Lacey, an effective passing center, became one of the most dependable players in the league. Archibald became the first player to lead the league in scoring and assists in the first season in Kansas City. However, the management traded Archibald, and wasted high draft picks. Bob Cousy gave way to, who was fired midyear in 1977 and replaced by, a player on the team on two separate occasions when it was in Cincinnati and who later became the vice president of operations for the Cleveland Stadium Corporation in June 1981. 1976–1984 The Kings finally achieved some success in their new home when they hired as coach. Fitzsimmons won the Midwest Division in 1978–79 with rookie point guard, who was in 1979.
Kansas City was led by shooting guard, strong on both offense and defense, all-around shooting forward Scott Wedman, and passing center, who had a trademark 25-foot (7.6 m) bank shot. They drew an average of 10,789 fans to that season, the only time during their tenure in KC that average attendance was in five figures (the attendance at the peak was only two-thirds of Kemper's capacity).
Most Kansas City sports fans preferred to spend their entertainment dollar on the Royals, who won the American League West division championship four times in five seasons between 1976 and 1980, and reached the. The Kings made the playoffs in and again in, despite finishing the 1980–81 regular season at 40–42.
The Kings made a run in the, reaching the Western Conference finals. Played the point in this run in place of an injured Ford, as KC used a slow half-court game to win the first two rounds. Power forward Reggie King had a remarkable series, dominating the opposition. After upsetting the by winning at Phoenix in the Conference Semifinals and becoming the 2nd NBA road team to do so after leading series 3–1, they bowed to the (who also went 40-42 in the 1980–81 regular season) in five games in the Conference Finals.
Lacey, the last remaining Cincinnati Royal to play for the Kings, was completely dominated in the low post by Rockets superstar. However, a series of bad luck incidents prevented the team from building on its success. Owner lured Wedman and Birdsong away with big contract offers. In 1979, the roof literally fell in at Kemper Arena because of a severe storm, forcing the team to play most of the 1979–80 season at the much smaller Municipal Auditorium. The ownership group sold the team to interests for $11 million. The general manager was fired in a scandal in which he was found to be reusing marked postage stamps.
When the Kings rehired as general manager, they brought back the man who had previously traded Oscar Robertson, Norm Van Lier, Nate Archibald and Jerry Lucas, and used the third pick in the dispersal draft on. Axelson stayed on after the Kings left Kansas City where, in their last game ever, fans wore Joe Axelson masks. Axelson later said he hoped his plane would never touch down in Kansas City.
Axelson became the first general manager in the history of sports to fail with the same franchise in four cities: Cincinnati, Kansas City, Omaha and Sacramento. He was not fired for good until he rehired coach Phil Johnson, whom he had fired in mid-season in Kansas City ten years before. The Kings also had the misfortune of entering this period competing with the for the winter sports dollar, when the Comets were led by marketers—the Leiweke brothers. Their final season, resulted in a 31–51 record as fans stayed away from Kemper Arena in droves, with average attendance of 6,410. Long-time ABA and NBA star, played his final professional season for the Kings. 1985–present: Sacramento Kings The Kings moved to their current home of in the, with their first Sacramento season ending in the first round of the Western Conference. The starting lineup was, and, with, and coming off the bench.
However, despite fan loyalty the Kings saw little success in subsequent seasons, and the team did not make the playoffs again until the in the. Some of their failure was attributable to misfortunes such as the career-altering car crash suffered by promising point guard in 1993, and the suicide of during the 1989 off-season; some was attributed to poor management such as the long tenure of head coach and the selection of 'Never Nervous' with the first overall pick in the.
Current Kings television broadcaster (1987, 1988–90) and NBA legend were the earliest head coaches. 1988–1989: Ricky Berry was selected by the Kings in the first round, 18th pick overall in the. He had a dazzling rookie year in the shooting 40.6% from three-point range. The Kings also drafted (selected by the Kings in the second round, 29th overall pick in the ) and acquired from the.

On February 23, 1989, and were traded to the Kings from the for Joe Kleine and Ed Pinckney.

1989–1990: Pervis Ellison Following the loss of, featured, who was first overall pick in the by the Kings, and acquisition (from the, second pick overall in the ). An injury kept Ellison on the sidelines for 48 of 82 games of his rookie year, after which he was traded to the. Tisdale would go on to play for the Kings for five years.

Also notable that was acquired from the and played for the Kings for the and after a successful career with the returned to the Kings for his final season in. 1991–1998: The Mitch Richmond era. Mitch Richmond was a key player on the Kings' rise to prominence in the 1990s.
The early 1990s were difficult for the Kings. Sacramento was known for having strong fan support, and while they won over 60% of their home games, the team struggled on the road, going 1–40 on the road in a single season. But prayers were answered when they acquired, who previously played for the. The former was selected as an All-Star six times while making the All-NBA Second Team three times. Was chosen as new coach in 1992 and coached the team all the way through 1997, where he was replaced by Eddie Jordan. During the 90's Sacramento had other stars like, and, but they only lasted with the team for a few years.
After the, Rambis was traded to the. After the, Tisdale was traded to the. After the, Webb was traded to the for. Midway through the, Williams was traded to the for (who was drafted by the Kings in 1991, and traded to Golden State for Richmond). After the, Grant became a free agent and signed with the. One accomplishment the team achieved under St.
Jean during their tenures was a playoff appearance in 1996. The series was lost 3–1 to the who, led by and, finished as that year's conference champions. They did not make a playoff appearance again while Richmond was still on the Kings. He was soon traded along with to the for in May 1998. Although Richmond was lost, this trade proved to be one of the keys to finally achieving playoff success after so many seasons of mediocrity.
1998–2004: 'The Greatest Show on Court' era The Kings began to emerge from mediocrity with the draft selection of in the, the signing of, and the trade for prior to the lockout-shortened season of. These acquisitions coincided with the arrival of from, who had been drafted in. Each of these moves was attributed to general manager, who has won the twice. Led by new head coach, and aided by former head coach, the Kings' impressed others for its quick style and strong ball movement. Some criticized the Kings for their poor team defense, Williams's 'flash over substance' style with its many turnovers, and Webber's failure to step up in important match-ups. Still, they quickly garnered many fans outside of California, many of whom were drawn to the spectacular pairing of Williams and Webber.
In 1998–99, they went 27–23, their first winning season in nearly twenty years and their first since moving to Sacramento. The new arrivals Webber, Williams, and Divac all played key roles in this resurgence; Divac ranked near the top of the team in most statistics, Webber led the league in rebounds and was named to the, and Williams was named to the. In the playoffs, they were matched up against the defending Western Conference Champions, the. After winning Game 1 by 20 points, the Jazz surrendered two consecutive playoff games to the Kings. They would turn the series around, however, and win the last two to keep the Kings from advancing in the playoffs. In, the Kings went relatively quiet; their only notable transaction was trading shooting guard to the in exchange for shooting guard.
They finished 8th in the Western Conference with a respectable 44–38 record and were matched up with the in the first round of the playoffs. Once again, however, the Kings failed to advance, losing the series 2–3 against the Lakers., the Kings traded starting small forward to the for shooting guard, a move made to improve the subpar defense. They also drafted Turkish power forward, further improving their bench rotation. Stojakovic moved into the starting small forward role, where he and Webber proved to complement each other extremely well, and as the Kings continued to improve, their popularity steadily rose, culminating in a February 2001 cover story entitled 'The Greatest Show on Court' with Williams, Christie, Stojakovic, Webber, and Divac gracing the cover. That year, they went 55–27, their best in 40 years. In the playoffs, they won their first series in 20 years, defeating the three games to one, before being swept in the second round by the, who eventually won the NBA Championship. In July 2001, the Kings made a major move.
Jason Williams was traded, along with Nick Anderson, to the for and. Despite Williams's often spectacular play, the Kings had grown tired of his recklessness and turnovers; Bibby would provide much more stability and control at the point guard position. This move was complemented by the re-signing of Webber to a maximum-salary contract, securing their superstar long term. With Bibby taking over for Williams, they had their best season to date in. Though not as exciting or flashy as they had been in previous years with Williams, the team became much more effective and disciplined with Bibby at the helm.
They finished with a league-best record of 61–21, winning 36 of 41 at home. After easily winning their first two playoff matchups against the Stockton and Malone-led Jazz and the -led, respectively, the Kings went on to play the archrival and two-time defending champion Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, regarded as one of the greatest playoff matchups in history. In a controversial series, the Kings lost in seven games, one game away from what would have been the first and professional sports championship in Sacramento history. This was a crushing blow to the Kings; after losing to their archrivals in a highly controversial series, the team would begin to decline and age in the years that followed. Many commentators and journalists would question the decisions made by the referees during Game 6, specifically that the Lakers were awarded a staggering 27 free throws in the fourth quarter, many of which came from what were in retrospect proved to be no-calls. Following Game 6 even print newspapers began to question the legitimacy of the game.
Most notably, the ran a front cover with a headline entitled 'Foul Play'; it also published a related article suggesting that the game was rigged. NBA analyst (then working for ) spoke on the game: “ There is nothing I can say that will explain 27 free throws for the Lakers in the fourth quarter – an amount staggering in its volume and impact on the game. It gave me pause. How can you explain it? How can you explain a game where fouls out when he's two feet from, or that is called for a ridiculous touch foul just as Chris Webber spikes Bryant's drive to the hoop, or that is called for a foul deep in the fourth quarter after Bryant pops him in the nose with an elbow? ” The 2002 Western Conference finals left many fans wondering whether the Kings could have gone on to win a title, and debate would continue for many years after the events of the series.
Later, due to raised by former NBA referee, the NBA set up a review of the league's officiating. Lawrence Pedowitz, who led the review, concluded that while Game 6 featured poor officiating, there was no concrete evidence that the game had been fixed. The Kings went 59–23 and won the division during, seeking to avenge their playoff loss to the Lakers. After easily dispatching the Stockton and Malone-led Jazz in the first round and winning Game 1 against the -led in the second round, the Kings appeared to be on the brink of another Western Conference Finals berth. However, sustained a devastating knee injury in Game 2, and the Kings lost in a gut-wrenching seven-game series. Webber's knee required major surgery.
He returned mid-season in a season in which the Kings were seeking another chance to avenge their playoff loss to the Lakers, but without his quickness and athleticism, which had been the focal point of his style of play, it was not the same. Despite that, the Kings still managed to defeat the -led in the first round and after winning Game 1 against the -led in the second round, the Kings appeared to be on the brink of their second Western Conference Finals berth in three years, but unfortunately the Kings ended the season on a sour note with a heartbreaking defeat to the Timberwolves in a hard fought seven game series. 2004–2006: Decline The season marked change for the Kings, who lost three starters from the famed 2002 team.
In the off-season of 2004, Divac signed with the Lakers, which prompted the Kings to sign to start at center. Early in the season, Christie was traded to the for Cuttino Mobley, and in February, Webber was traded to the for three forwards (, and ). Thomas and Skinner failed in their attempt to replicate Webber's impact, and as a result the team's record suffered. The Kings lost in the first round of the playoffs to the. The 2005 off-season continued with changes, when they traded fan-favorite for and acquired free agent. The 2005–06 season started poorly since the Kings had a hard time establishing team chemistry. Newcomers Wells and Abdur-Rahim made major contributions early, but both were injured and missed a significant number of games.
As the Kings' season continued, general manager Petrie decided to make a major move. Stojakovic was traded for, a talented yet volatile forward known for his temper. Despite doubts that he would be able to replace the huge production of Stojakovic, Artest and the Kings went 20–9 after the 2006 NBA All-Star break, the second best post-All-Star break record that season. Despite a winning record of 44–38, it was clear that they were not the same team of years past.
The Kings were seeded 8th in the Western Conference playoffs and were matched up in the first round against the San Antonio Spurs. Though the Kings were surprisingly competitive, the Spurs eliminated them 4–2. This was the end of their era of competitiveness and to date, their last winning season. The 2006 off-season began with the disturbing news that head coach Rick Adelman's contract would not be renewed. The Kings named Eric Musselman as his replacement.
2006–2009: Change and transition In 2006–07, the disappointing play of the Kings was coupled with the distraction of legal troubles. Coach pleaded no contest to charges early in the season, while Artest got into trouble for neglect of his dogs, and was later accused of. The Kings relieved Artest of basketball duties, pending investigation, then later reinstated him. They finished the season 33–49 (their worst in 9 years) which landed them in fifth place in the Pacific Division.
They posted a losing record (20–21) at home for the first time since 1993–94. Their season included a seven-game losing-streak that lasted from January 4 to January 19. The Kings missed the, the first time in eight seasons. Musselman was fired in April. The Kings' future appeared to rest on the shoulders of, who was a lead candidate for 2007 NBA Most-Improved Player of the Year. Shoots a free throw at a Kings home game.
The 2007 off season was a time of change. Head coach Musselman was replaced by former Kings player,. The Kings selected with the 10th overall pick in the. In addition, they acquired from the New Jersey Nets. Martin signed a contract worth $55 million, extending his period with the team for five more years. The Kings lost key players over the off-season, with backup Ronnie Price leaving for the Utah Jazz, and Corliss Williamson retiring. They claimed fourth-year off waivers from Minnesota.
Udrih quickly assumed the starting position for an injured Bibby. It was announced in February that the Kings had traded Bibby to the for, and a 2nd round draft pick. The move was presumably made to clear cap space.
Bibby had been last player from the Kings team that reached the Western Conference Finals in 2002. The Kings improved by 5 games and finished the 2007–08 season 38–44, and missed the playoffs by a bigger margin (12 games) than the previous season (8 games). They went 26–15 at home and 12–29 on the road. After selling out every home game since 1999, the 2007–08 season sold out only three games at ARCO Arena with attendance averaging 13,500 fans per home game, almost 4,000 below capacity. Following a quiet 2008 off-season, it was confirmed on July 29, 2008 that the Kings would trade Artest and the rights to and to the in exchange for former King, a future first round draft pick, and cash considerations for and center.
Was fired in the middle of the 2008–09 season, giving way to as the interim head coach. The Kings continued to struggle under Natt, ending up with the NBA's worst record for the 2008–09 season at 17–65. On April 23, 2009, Kings' Vice President Geoff Petrie announced the firing of Natt and his four assistants, Rex Kalamian, Jason Hamm, and Bubba Burrage. 2009–2012: 'Here we Rise' period Despite having the best odds to win the top overall pick in the, the Kings obtained the 4th overall pick, the lowest they could possibly pick, to the outrage of many fans.
Along with new head coach, they selected. With the 23rd pick, they selected from Israel.

(2016–present) Rivalries Prior to moving to Ohio, the Royals' biggest rival was the. That team went on to become the. This left without a team until the were established in 1970. This third attempt did not last, with the Braves moving to in 1978 to become the. In 1970, the were established. This brought a new rival for the Royals, as well as a new team in Ohio.
This rivalry did not last, and the Royals moved to Kansas City only a few years later. Although the NBA previously had a team in, in the form of the, that team moved to in 1968, thus preventing a potential new rivalry for the Kings. This made the Kings the first team in the state in four years. 13 years later, the Kings moved to California, leaving Missouri without a team. Los Angeles Lakers The rivalry with the began when the Kings traded for in 1998. Featuring matchups such as vs., it became one of the most competitive in the NBA, climaxing when the two teams met in the. From that point on, injuries and trades would dull the rivalry, though it has begun to emerge again with the Kings drafting center, and the Lakers trading for center.
Both teams, however, have had a lack of success, with the Kings failing to make the playoffs and the Lakers being swept in the first round as the number 7 seed in the and losing many of their star players to injuries ( and ) or free agency (Howard to the ) in the following season.
