1923 - Present. Western Conference. Sacramento Kings. 26. player. 67. <p>The Kings haven’t tasted NBA championship success in decades, dating back to 1951 actually. With that big of a drought of postseason success, you’d question the talent that has come through the franchise but that isn’t the case with the Kings.</p> <p>Unfortunately for fans in Sacramento right now, the Kings are struggling to find their footing and foundation for success.</p> <p><span style=

OSCAR ROBERTSON. PG. The Kings weren’t always terrible, and besides their run in the early 2000s, the last time they might have been decent was with Oscar Robertson playing point guard. He’s a legend in the NBA and the Kings having him lead their lineup is a way to get things off to a great start.. Point Guard. Sacramento Kings

He was part of Run TMC in Golden State, but Mitch Richmond turned in some solid seasons in Sacramento with the Kings. Putting him alongside Oscar in the backcourt is the stuff of Kings fans dreams.. Shooting Guard. Sacramento Kings. MITCH RICHMOND. SG

PEJA STOJAKOVIC. SF. It’s no surprise that more than a few members of the last great Kings team appear on their all-time roster. Peja was at the tail end of his career when he contributed to Sacramento in a way that solidified his legacy in the NBA. He is right at home in a frontcourt with Webber and Divac in it.. Small Forward. Sacramento Kings

PF. Chris Webber bounced around in his NBA career, but he might end up being most well known for being a part of the magical Kings team in 2002. That frontcourt just worked, and pairing him back up with Peja and Divac is perfection. There’s no other way to stack that lineup than to make sure those guys are in it.. Power Forward. Sacramento Kings. CHRIS WEBBER

VLADE DIVAC. C. Fans are wondering if Vlade Divac might be a better player than a front office executive, but it won’t take away how much he meant to that 2002 Kings team which many believe should have been given a chance to win an NBA Finals they probably would have ended up winning. That’s thanks in large part to that frontcourt of Peja, Divac and Webber.. Center. Sacramento Kings
