  • FRANCHISE HISTORY HISTORY of OWNERSHIP the Sacramento Kings Begin Their Second Season Under a Group Led by Owner Vivek Ranadivé
    FRANCHISE HISTORY HISTORY OF OWNERSHIP The Sacramento Kings begin their second season under a group led by Owner Vivek Ranadivé. The group succeeds the Maloof family, who sold the franchise in Spring 2013. The latest chapter in the franchise's ownership history began to take shape in April 2013 when the NBA's Relocation Committee unanimously recommended that the league's Board of Governors deny the application of the team to relocate to Seattle, Washington. The passion, will and vision Ranadive's group expressed for the future of the Kings in Sacramento lead the league's Board of Governors to unanimously approve the sale of the team on May 28, 2013. The Maloof family had owned the team for 14 seasons after taking control of the Kings and ARCO Arena on July 1, 1999. The Maloofs succeeded Jim Thomas, who had owned the franchise since April 6, 1992. The Maloof family’s interest in purchasing the Kings, Monarchs (WNBA) and ARCO Arena originated in 1997 when they contacted Thomas regarding the availability of the teams and arena. On January 14, 1998, the Maloofs completed the purchase of a minority limited partnership in the organization’s franchises and ARCO Arena. On January 15, 1999, the Maloofs subsequently purchased controlling interest, effective July 1, 1999. The NBA Board of Governors unanimously approved the ownership transfer on May 7, 1999, in New York, at which time the Board of Governors appointed Joe Maloof to the Board. The Kings franchise made its NBA debut in 1948 as the Rochester Royals under the ownership of Les Harrison.

On the bus, the players were teasing each other about who knew the most famous people. The debate raged on and Michael remained quiet. Someone yelled,“How about you, Michael? Who do you know who’s famous?” MJ said, “Who do you want me to call?” Someone said, “How about Janet Jackson?” MJ placed a call and said,“Hi, Janet. This is Mike. Give me a call.” Someone said, “Aw, you’re just faking it.”Thirty seconds later, the phone rang. It was Janet Jackson.

This was not, however, always the case.1 During the late 1970s and early 1980s, the league experienced a variety of financial problems that reduced its profitability and threatened its contin- ued existence.2 For an NBA franchise to achieve financial success, it must draw fans to its games, and typically fan attendance is directly proportional to a team's success on the court.3 Simply put, every- one loves a winner, and no one wants to pay money to see a loser.
