Sacramento Kings history
No NBA team is older than the Kings. Their roots go back to the Rochester Seagrams, a semi-pro club formed in Rochester, New York, in 1923. Renamed the Rochester Royals, the team entered the National Basketball League in 1945 and won that league's title in its very first season. In 1948 it jumped to the Basketball Association of America along with three other NBL clubs.
As the Royals, they won the NBA title in 1951, but a small market made profits hard, so the team went to Cincinnati in 1957. Kansas City came next, before the 1972 season, where the club split home dates with Omaha and took the name Kings to avoid a mix-up with baseball's Royals. Today the Kings play at Golden 1 Center, which holds 17,608.
