2007 Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings’ dismal performance in the 2006-07 season, ending at the bottom of the Pacific Division, led to the replacement of head coach Eric Musselman with former Kings player Reggie Theus, who has big plans for 2007-08. Mikki Moore and rookie Spencer Hawes join solid players Mike Bibby, Ron Artest and Brad Miller to make the Kings contenders for the 2007-2008 season. Get your tickets to Arco Arena and see if Theus can help the Sacramento Kings make it to the playoffs in 2007-08!

The Sacramento Kings were one of the original 17 organizations to first make up the NBA, and they have made their home in Sacramento since 1985. The Kings were a powerhouse team in the 40's and 50's, when they were known as the Cincinnati Royals, and they won their only NBA Championship in the 1950-1951 season. The Kings have had some great players over the years, including Oscar Robertson, Nate "Tiny" Archibald, and Jack Twyman, but they fell under the radar during the 80's and 90's.Today, the Kings are a team on the rise. In recent years, the Sacramento Kings have returned to prominence, and they are once again a major power in the Western Conference. Coach Rick Adelman has developed the team into a high-powered offense, and he has led the Kings to consecutive winning seasons since his coming in 1998. The offense is powered by forwards Chris Webber and Peja Stojakovic and point guard Bob Bibby, and their defense is shored up by veteran center Vlade Divac. Despite having the best record in the NBA during the 2001-2002 season, the Kings continue to come up short in the play-offs.

Previous Kings players include Archibald, Bob Davies, Maurice Stokes, Robertson, Jerry Lucas, Happy Hairston, Twyman, Red Holzman, Dolly King, and Sam Lacey -- as well as pro quarterback Otto Graham, major league catcher Del Rice, and Chuck Connors, who would go on to greater fame as The Rifleman. The Kings have also retired jersey #6 in honor of (Sixth Man) Fans. Previous coaches include Bob Cousy, Cotton Fitzsimmons, Red Holzman, and Bill Russell.

Will this be the year the Sacramento Kings finally break out and claim their first NBA Championship in over fifty years? Will they overcome their bitter rivals the L.A. Lakers and claim supremacy in the state of California? Be sure to catch a home game in the rowdy Arco Arena this year, because you don't want to miss any of what is sure to be a great season.
