Sacramento Kings History
The Sacramento Kings' lineage traces to Rochester, New York, where they played under four names, including the Royals, for 12 years (1945–57). Led by Hall of Famers Bob Davies, Bobby Wanzer and Arnie Risen, the team defeated the New York Knicks to win the NBA championship in 1951, the highlight of a seven-year run in the playoffs.
The Royals moved to Cincinnati for the 1957–58 season and added local college standout Oscar Robertson in 1960. Led by the "Big O," they advanced to the division finals in the 1962–63 and 1963–64 seasons, with the second year featuring contributions from Rookie of the Year Jerry Lucas.
After a five-year run of futility in the late 1960s and early '70s, the team relocated to Kansas City, adopting the name the Kings because the city's MLB team was named the Royals. For three years, the franchise divided its home games between Kansas City and Omaha, Nebraska, and were known as the Kansas City-Omaha Kings. Led by Coach of the Year Phil Johnson, they made the playoffs in 1974–75. In the 10 seasons that followed as the Kansas City Kings, the team made the playoffs four times, most memorably in 1980–81 behind guard Otis Birdsong.
The franchise relocated to Sacramento in 1985, but failed to post a winning record until the lockout-shortened 1998–99 season, when a team led by Chris Webber, Vlade Divac, Vernon Maxwell, Scot Pollard, and Jon Barry went 27-23. It was the first of eight consecutive seasons in the playoffs, highlighted by a trip to the 2002 Conference Finals.
In 2023, under new coach Mike Brown and All-Stars Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox, the Kings advanced to the playoffs, ultimately losing in the first round to reigning NBA champions the Golden State Warriors in a close seven-game series. Brown was named the 2022–23 season’s Coach of the Year, while Fox collected the league’s first Clutch Player of the Year Award.

Hello, thank you for hosting hello kitty night for all the fanatics!! Next time make sure you have enough cups and items for the stations if you had 17k bags you should’ve had 17k souvenir cups etc other than that it could’ve been more hello kitty giveaway things and activities and hello kitty food options the email was very misleading especially for the money that was spent basically we just got free bags and the doors opened at 4:30 and everything was out and long lines . Do better next time thank you !
The atmosphere as soon as you step into the arena is amazing!! The vibes and energy are great!!
First time at Golden 1 Center. My wife and I had a great time. Really liked the arena inside and out. Great food and beer selections. It’s the perfect location everything you need is a few steps away. We plan to return .
I took my son and his friend to the game as a belated birthday present. Every year he watches the Bucks play the Kings. We all had a great time at the Kings game!! As a side note, I don’t remember seeing any rules listed at checkout about not being allowed to carry certain size bags into the arena. The would be helpful. Thank you for a fantastic game and experience!
Amazing! My daughter is a Lebron James fan and she was in an auto accident in 2020 leaving her paralyzed! This is the first time she was able to go guest services was extremely helpful the accommodation were excellent and ALL the staff was kind handicap accessible accommodation! Thank you
The lines to get in were way too long and no organization. It was just a mass of people. Entertainment during half time sucked. I’ve been to previous games and the experience was 100 percent better.
The game was nail biting. The atmosphere was amazing, entertainment was fabulous but the prices of food is way too much. Inclusion of little kids is amazing as we had a 5 year old and he got a certificate and badge along with a little basketball. Overall great game and amazing time.
First time at this location. Love the building and the surrounding area. We will return.
