In this video, we talk about how the Kansas City Kings lost their NBA team. They relocated to Sacramento back in 1985, and unlike the Sonics – there isn’t a huge push to get a new NBA team back in Kansas City. Let’s take a look at the controversy that led to the team’s departure.
I make all kinds of NBA videos which include analysis, player stories, countdowns, and mysteries. Make sure to leave a like and subscribe if you enjoyed this video!

They would be a city that would be a good NBA Market
Fun Fact:.the King's had an NBA Finals championship in 1951 and that's the only championship they had.
If a billionaire from KC would like to buy Hornets for $3 billion then he should relocate that team to his city soon.
Only way I knew Kansas had a team was their jersey inclusion in the NBA 2K games
Seattle and Vegas will get the next teams. and they just have to move the Wolves or Pelicans or Grizzles to the east
Dawg its missouri not kansas
2:26: RIP Owen Hart 😢
hey Andy, can you make a video about the spurs and how they never won back to back championships?
It’s not Kansas bro it’s Missouri my goodness
Kemper Arena was not in Kansas, its in Missouri. Otherwise, good video.
To correct just a bit even though Kansas city has Kansas in it's name the team, just like all KC teams, are in Missouri.
they don't got NHL hockey… lol
Great video Andy, but as a former Kansas City resident. I just want to clarify that the team was located in Kansas City, Missouri not Kansas City, Kansas.
Andy… you do know that Kansas City is in Missouri right? (Yes there is a Kansas City, Kansas, but the sports teams play in Missouri KC.) Think you said a few times that Kansas had/lost a team when it was really Missouri
If ever plans for expansion, after watching this video, I think Kansas City and Seattle deserves to have a NBA team again just like the other places before. Vancouver, also if its possible and just add Las Vegas to even the number of new teams.
I'm not a fan of team relocations at all. As someone who watches football ⚽ the fans are the ones who represent the team and the owners cannot just change the location of the team as they like. A team represents that particular. Manchester United's owners cannot just decide to move to Wembley area in London and become Wembley United. It's crazy to me that people can just lose their team they support and use your hard earned money for
its insane how new owners of a team want to steal away a team and its impact, identity,, history, and culture away from a city just because they want to live in a place where they like.
This is ehy you dont trust investets in a diflddrent stste.. they say they have no plans in moving the tram but they end up doing it snyway. Same thing happened to Seattle
Kansas?
The Kings never played in Kansas, they played in Kansas City, Missouri.
Get your facts straight man!
