The Kings in the early 2000s were one of the powerhouse teams in the NBA was a fixture in the playoffs in the Western Conference. Their 2001-02 squad was the best one of that era finishing with the best record in the league with a franchise-record 61 wins while claiming their first division title dating back to 1979 when the organization was located in Kansas City.

It was a stacked roster led by their core group of Chris Webber, Mike Bibby, Peja Stojakovic, Vlade Divac, Bobby Jackson, and Hedo Turkoglu. This was a roster that led the Kings to their first Western Conference Finals appearance since 1981 with both Webber and Stojakovic earning All-Star Game selections that season.

Despite falling just a game short of reaching the NBA Finals in a disappointing seven-game series against the Los Angeles, this Kings' team was one of the most talented that the league has seen. It could be argued that Sacramento may have won the title that season had they made it past the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. Ultimately, this is a deserving honor for a stacked team in NBA history.
