How the best ever Sacramento Kings team missed the NBA Finals, then deteriorated

In early 2002, the Sacramento Kings looked like they might be the next NBA dynasty. They were well on their way to the Finals, and as the rival Los Angeles Lakers came apart, the Kings were poised to take over.
And then ... things happened. First came the notorious, controversial end to the 2002 Western Conference Finals against those Lakers. Then came an injury to Sacramento's star, Chris Webber. Then came some bad feelings, some bad moves, and eventually some really bad basketball.
This starts as the story of a perfectly built team running into misfortune when it should have been peaking. It becomes a story of that perfect creation crumbling into pieces, with no clear plan to rebuild. This one hurts.

I'd love to see you do a 2012 Ravens collapse. It starts with losing Ray Lewis and Ed Reed post superbowl, then Dennis Pitta's 4 year journey of injuries, Ray Rice, major turnover of offensive coordinators, a record setting injury season, then a full rebuild as the torch is slowly passed from Ozzy Newsome to Erick DeCosta. Yeah they made the playoffs once in that time, but it also has 3 major flops where victory or a playoff spot is their's to lose, and they lose it. Also could talk about how they've rebuilt with pieces that are eerily similar to the superbowl teams of old. Earl Thomas for Ed Reed, Matt Judon for Suggs, Mark Ingram for Ray Rice, ect., minus the obvious difference at quarterback.

Kings finally breaking the playoff drought this year 🔥

@arvind01612840261 3 года назад

You could also do a Collapse on the 1981 Kings, who became the last team to reach the Conference Finals with a losing record and immediately went on a playoff win drought that lasted nearly 20 years.

Off-court politics. Ownership started losing money, threw a temper tantrum when the city wouldn't foot the bill for a new arena, started taking it out on the coach.

Is there one of these on the Tigers? Because you could do two in less than 5 years. That 2006 squad had 8 throwing errors to first, 5 from the pitching staff. Then they didn't win a ring with a starting rotation that was Verlander, Scherzer, Price, Porcello, Sanchez. Man...

I agree wholeheartedly about the Detroit Tigers, and also would like to see: - 2000s- 2010s Phoenix Suns - post-Lombardi Packers (unless this is too ancient) - 1970s Baltimore Colts (actually two collapses, and would be very interesting because of the stadium controversy and ultimate relocation to Indianapolis) - 1990s Redskins - late 1990s Jaguars - 1960s Yankees (unless this is too ancient) - New York Islanders (1980s and 1990s) - New Jersey Devils (2000s to 2010s) - Montreal Canadiens after 1994 NHL lockout - Nottingham Forest - Leeds United

@Nebraska-CatFanDanOzzy Год назад

Why? I see things like this and I am glad they left KC! The franchise hasn’t won a championship since 1951 in Rochester! I loved them in KC too and they broke my heart when they left! I didn’t see another NBA game in person for years because of it. When I came back I went to a Bulls game. I will be happy for the long suffering fans if they do manage to put together a championship winning team in the future but until that happens the Kings are losers and I am glad they left!!!! Also in KC for 13 years - they won one divisional title, went to the conference championship series once and went to the playoffs 5 years . They haven’t done any better in Sacramento in over 30 years going to the playoffs 10 years, 2 divisional titles and one conference championship series and now the longest playoff drought in North American professional sports! This is a terrible franchise!

@lewivdadon 3 года назад

I appreciate you talking about this story though as a longtime Kings fan (before Webber) this still stings. Everything has been said about '02 but that '03 team had a better roster but Webber 's injury derailed Everything. He was just here for the team anyway, not for the city of Sacramento. Funny cause DeMarcus Cousins was the total opposite. Mussleman is a great coach but his fate was sealed getting that DUI right before the season started. I think they're a 2021 playoff team though. The team also enjoyed playoff success in '86 and '96 before that Adelman tenure.
