Mitch Richmond's prime was wasted by so many losing seasons in Sacramento. By the time he got traded, he barely had anything left in the tank.

Sadly, Richmond probably doesn't get the respect he deserves. Furthermore and like you said, his seasons in SAC probably have so many view him in a different way. However, that trade for Chris Webber really made the Kings better as Mitch was kind of on the decline. Thank you so much for watching my video as I hope it was worth your time. I greatly appreciate you watching this video and I hope it brought back some good memories. Take care and be safe.

after trading jason williams they went to round 3 in 02

The fact that you don’t even have 1000 subs is an absolute crime, clearly you work hard making these videos. Keep up the good work man

You didn't mention Mitch Richmond's MVP performance at All-Star game. That was a big deal for Sacramento and pretty special moment of the 90s Kings.

Drew Larsen, thanks a lot for the comment. I thought I mentioned that as it really brought more attention to Richmond, but if I didn't, that's on me. But thanks a lot for the comment and your viewership.

I watched the kings from 91-current. Insane how you have 4 first rounders and whiff on all 4. It didnt get better till Richmond. Who carried them to the playoffs in 96.

Thanks for the comment. Richmond was awesome in '96....I am a Lionel Simmons fan and thought he was a good player but unfortunately, injuries ended his career abruptly. Thanks again and enjoy the NBA playoffs this year. Next year, I hope the Kings get in.

Growing up in the 90's of the central valley of California it was a bit of a shock for me to witness the Kings transform from a perennial losing team to a team on the verge of the NBA finals and playing that beautiful brand of basketball. It almost felt like a dream sometimes. I'm still sad about that 2002 series, the Kings were the hottest team in the playoffs that year, followed by Webber's ill-timed premature injury the following year. It was basically over after that, but it was a great ride and I have a fond memories of that great squad..

Great comment. I like your quote "it almost felt like a dream sometimes". Even though I grew up in Chicago, I somewhat became a Kings fans when they changed to their black and purple uniforms during the Mitch Richmond years and then all of a sudden, Jason Williams and Webber came to Sacramento and I enjoyed watching every minute of Kings basketball. That 2002 series annoyed me. I am hoping the Kings get back to the playoffs. I really like their fans and like watching videos about their franchise. The documentary "Small Market, Big Heart" is one of my favorite basketball documentaries. Thank you so much for the comment. I enjoyed reading it so much.

The Kings never really did anything with Mitch Ritchmond, but he helped to bring an air of respectability to the team-which is ALWAYS a big deal for a small-market club.

I started following the Kings in 1990. Thanks for perfectly wrapping that decade in the video, brought back a lot of fond memories of the different teams. I still remember when I was driving back from college and listening to 1140 (Kings radio station) in 1998 when Grant Napear announced the signing of Divac. Also saw draft of Jason Williams live. Man, good times.

Love the video. Definitely got nostalgia and chills watching this. Born and raised in Sacramento, and grew up watching them. The 96 Playoffs, I was in the 1st grade but remember watching those games with my dad. Then got to watch the Greatest Show on Court squad in the early to mid 2000s. It's been a rough 13 years of no playoffs. But I'll always love my team.

Based on this video of the Sacramento Kings in the 1990s, one of the players that you mentioned in Owens Funderburke. What happened to Owens Funderburke? And as for Mitch Richmond playing for the Sacramento Kings franchise basketball team for 7 years and not having a winning season, he should've been a winner. Although he was exceeding expectations, he achieved success.

Wow! What a great video! I became a fan in the early 90s myself. I really appreciate the accuracy and nuance! I even learned some new things! Where could I find full 90s Kings games to watch again please?!?!

There was a Kings at Knicks game during the 1999-2000 season that I really want to do a video on as I hope I can get that footage somehow. I hope more Kings games come available somehow. Thank you so much once again.

Thank you so much for the comment. I do remember when the Kings were really bad, then like you said, when they changed to the black and purple logo and unis, they were playoff contenders. Thanks again for the comment. I greatly appreciate it.

If only the Sacramento Kings could've been contenders throughout the NBA playoffs during the beginning of the early mid 1980s, the 1990s, the 2000s, and in the 2010s, they would've exceeded expectations and achieve success to becoming a championship contender to compete in the NBA Finals if Mitch Richmond's career would've gone to waste and hit rock bottom despite the losing records in each of his seasons playing with Sacramento. But to me, the Sacramento Kings had very good players that were talented and with potential to be the best such as Spud Webb, Lionel Simmons, Billy Owens, Michael Smith, Corliss Williamson, Walt Williams, Brian Grant, Tyus Edney, Olden Polynice, and Bobby Hurley. I'm sorry to hear about the automobile accident that impacted Hurley's career and his life. I also like the Sacramento Kings Purple, Black and Silver Jerseys and their new logo as well. I felt terrible for Mitch Richmond not getting the respect that he deserves to become an NBA Finals Champion to bring the championship to the city of Sacramento despite the fact that the Kings were in the small market representing a small town. But it took the Sacramento Kings years to break away that playoff drought. They will succeed starting right now.

I can agree with you more. Mitch Richmond and the Sacramento Kings made it to the NBA playoffs during that year in 1996 along with players such as Spud Webb, Bobby Hurley Walt Williams, Tyus Edney, Lionel Simmons, Michael Smith, Brian Grant, Billy Owens, and Olden Polynice. I wish that the Sacramento Kings could've been championship contenders to compete in the NBA Finals if Mitch Richmond's career was not going to be wasted nor have gotten rock bottom especially through injuries.

Of course Mitch Richmond played for the Golden State Warriors during that time along with Tim Hardaway and Chris Mullin and Sarunas Marcilonous years back during the 1990s. They were a good team plus a good combination of this dynamic duo in RUN TMC(Tim, Mitch, and Chris). However, when Mitch Richmond played for the Sacramento Kings, I'd wished that there would've been a dynamic duo of himself with Lionel Simmons.
