The Sacramento Kings are an American professional basketball team based in Sacramento, California. The Kings compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the Western Conference Pacific Division. The Kings are the oldest team in the NBA and plays its home games at the Golden 1 Center. Their best seasons to date in the city were in the early 2000s, including a very successful 2001–02 season when they had the best record in the NBA. The franchise began with the Rochester Seagrams (a semi-professional team) from Rochester, New York, that formed in 1923. They joined the National Basketball League (NBL) in 1945 as the renamed Rochester Royals, winning that league’s championship in 1945–46 season. They later jumped with three other NBL teams to the Basketball Association of America (BAA), forerunner of the NBA, in 1948. As the Royals, the team was often successful on the court, winning the NBA championship in 1951. The team, however, found it increasingly difficult to turn a profit at Rochester and relocated to Cincinnati in 1957, becoming the Cincinnati Royals. In 1972, the team relocated to Kansas City, Missouri, and renamed the Kansas City–Omaha Kings. After three seasons, the team truncated to Kansas City Kings. The franchise again failed to find success in its market and moved to Sacramento in 1985, where they presently reside. Since 2006, the Sacramento Kings have had sixteen consecutive losing seasons, the most in NBA history. They also currently have the longest active postseason drought in the four major North American sports.
