In my mind, those two teams took the Kings brand of unselfish, team basketball and made it even better with World Championships to go along with it.

​@Willie Gordon The Spurs weren't boring in 2014. As for the Warriors, they led the NBA or at least in the top three in assists per game during that span from 2015 to 2019. That's the problem with the Kings. The likes of the 2014 Spurs, the Splash Brother era Golden State Warriors, Showtime Lakers, 1970s New York Knicks under Red Holzman and Red Auerbach's up tempo Boston Celtics are more recognizable with their unselfish, team play because those teams won NBA titles to follow up their exciting brand of basketball. Go ahead and keep defending the Kings. It's not changing the results between 2002 and 2004.

The 2004-2007 Suns were good, but all they did was run. But these 2001-2003 Kings, was pure harmony. So much passing and perfect spacing. Perfect synchronization

@Eilliw Nodrog What's wrong with draw and kick and backdoor cuts like the international game? That's how Team USA overcame their darkest period between international tournaments in 2002-2006 to win three straight Olympic Gold Medals in 2008, 2012 and 2016 and back-to-back FIBA Basketball World Cups in 2010 and 2014 because they added the FIBA game to their run-and-gun game. Rick Adelman and the Greatest Show on Court era Sacramento Kings between 1999-2004 was very good to watch, but I'll take Red Auerbach's fast break style with the Celtics in their great dynasty between 1957 and 1969, the New York Knicks under Red Holtzman in the 1970s, Showtime L.A. Lakers of the 1980s, the Bulls and Lakers triangle offenses, the Spurs between 2003 and 2014, and the Splash Brother era Golden State Warriors's styles over the Kings every day.

Everybody was in the same page, and J-Will just had amazing passing skills. When they traded Jason Williams for Mike Bibby, they were less exciting, but more disciplined, better defensively, and a lot more assists spread out and less turnovers.

I mean, it's especially because they lost that they're the perfect team. Because they should have win, in the exact same way that this world should be beautiful, but isn't. These Kings represent this mixed feeling of melancholy, beauty and purity. They're the basketball soul. They don't have a ring, but forever the crown: they were the beautiful Kings. Of course a ring would have been great, but who cares at the end: their lost were more beautiful than your wins.

+Simon capelli-welter First of all, I'm more of a pest than a troll. Second, there's a reason why people talk about the Warriors in 2015 and the Spurs in 2014 and their magnificent ball movement is because those two teams took a great product the Kings put out during their "Greatest show on court" years from 1998-2004 and made it even better with championships to boot to go along with their ball movement. Finally, you don't have to be a little sad for me because the more you hate, the more the other teams win. I bet the Kings and their fans are still mumbling when the Warriors won it all in 2015 where they said, "that should've been us in 2002."

+Simon capelli-welter But the Splash Brother era Golden State Warriors are much more recognizable because they won it all three times in the last four years. I even take the New York Knicks ball movement in the 1970s under Red Holtzman over the 1998-2004 Greatest Show on Court Sacramento Kings because they also won titles.

You know your the best basketball team ever when Gerald Wallace is your 12th man!

The Splash Brothers era Golden State Warriors say hello.

These Kings were like the early 90s Houston Oilers, amazing team but never got a ring.

damn.. totally forgot about that random emerald/strawberry paint the Spurs had back in the day...

My 3 favorite squads of all time: 88 Lakers 93 Suns 01 Kings

+xKvvy Go to Canada. They have some very good ones.

Fox, Mason, and Hield are going to bring the Kings back. I see alot of potential in Fox, more than ay rookie ive seen in the previous drafts. I see 916 coming back up and theyre going to give the leagye a run for their money. You wait and see.

And also Mike Bibby's pure shooting stroke.

Hate to say. First 4 highlights aren't Princeton at all.

The Rick Adelman curse is still real in Sacramento. Since the Maloofs forced Geoff Petrie to fire Adelman after the 2006 NBA Playoffs, the Sacramento Kings haven't made it back to the postseason.

Agreed. But in the end that was held against them. The "superstar" treatment the Lakers got from the refs was just to much for them to overcome.

Nah. The Kings just failed to seal the deal. Now, they have to suffer even more when other teams beat them to the punch for NBA titles since the 2002 WCF including the Lakers tacking on three more in 2009, 2010 and 2020, the Milwaukee Bucks breaking their 50-year NBA title drought in 2021, and even worse, their NorCal rival Golden State Warriors.

Wouldn't call it the last true artistic team. A lot of teams run great stuff as well. Maybe not as good as this, but it is annoying when people say stuff like that. Reminds me of the people that think the NBA is weaker now.
