The Sacramento Kings Play to Be Crowned As NBA Royalty

It is good to be king! You can be king of a country, king of rock and roll, king of checkers, king of a castle, king of swing, king of basketball, and king of duct tape artistry. Once you are king, you are the best of the best, the Big Kahuna, the Grand Poobah, and so on. While the Sacramento Kings have inherited a name of royalty, they hope to one day be crowned king of all the NBA: NBA Champions!

The Sacramento Kings have only played in the NBA since the 1985-1986 season. However, since 1945, they have also played as the Rochester Royals, the Cincinnati Royals, the Kansas City-Omaha Kings, and the Kansas City Kings. In 1985, the Kings earned a 37-45 record during their premiere as an NBA team. While the record was good enough to qualify for the playoffs, the Houston Rockets swept them (3-0).

How did the Kings become royalty? When the team relocated to Kansas City, it changed its name to prevent confusion. Although they were the Royals in Rochester and Cincinnati, Kansas City already had a Major League Baseball team with the name "Royals."

Though Sacramento is the capital of California, most of us are more familiar with the California cities of Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, etc. Here are some fascinating facts about Sacramento:

• Average January temperature: 53° F
• Average annual rainfall: 17 inches per year or .32 inches per week
• Major industries: computers/electronics, printing, glass, wood products, agriculture
• Main agricultural products: corn, rice, safflower, sugar beets, and tomatoes
• Involved history's largest human migration after the 1848 discovery of gold

How close have the Sacramento Kings come to being crowned kings of the NBA? Since the 1985-1986 season, the Kings have won two Division titles, and have made 10 playoff appearances. Though they have never played in an NBA Finals series, the Kings advanced deep into the playoffs, during the 2001-2002 season.

Before the 2001-2002 season started, the Kings had acquired Mike Bibby (point guard). The Kings' 61-21 record made them kings of the NBA regular season, and was their all-time best franchise record. In the playoffs, the Kings would silence the Utah Jazz (3-1), and then subdue the Dallas Mavericks (4-1). In the Western Conference Finals, the Kings would then face the mighty Los Angeles Lakers.

Many fans of the NBA consider the 2002 war between the Kings and the Lakers, to be one of the greatest playoff series in the league's history. Ahead in the series 3-2, the Lakers won Game 6, during which they shot a whopping 40 free throws! Game 7 was yet another battle, which included an amazing 19 lead changes and 16 ties. In overtime, the Lakers outlasted the Kings, winning the game 112-106 and the series 4-3.

Each season, the Sacramento Kings strive to advance to their first NBA Finals series. Use Sacramento Kings merchandise to cheer on the team as they battle to become NBA royalty and earn their first NBA Championship crown!

Great Britain's Crown Jewels

The British Crown Jewels are one of the most popular pieces of jewelry in all the world. This includes all te regalia and vestments worn by the Kings and Queens of the UK during the coronation ceremony and other important events. This article is about the famous pieces making up the British Crown Jewels. Hope you enjoy it!

Crowns

There are a number of crowns included in the British Crown Jewels. St. Edwards Crown is the first. This crown was made in 1661 and includes 444 precious stones. It's made of gold and is extremely heavy according to some British monarchs.

The Imperial State Crown is another one. It was made for King George VI in 1937. It too is made of gold. The crown includes 5 rubies, 11 emeralds, 17 sapphires, 273 pearls, and 2,868 diamonds! The Cullinan II is one of the diamonds included in the Imperial State Crown, which is also called the Lesser Star of Africa.

The Imperial Crown of India is stored with Great Britain's Crown Jewels, however it's not considered one of them. The Crown Jewels were to never enter another country, and therefore this crown was created for King George V as he visited Delhi.

Wives of Kings more than likely wore the Crown of Mary of Modena. It seemed like with each new Queen consort, a new crown was made for them to wear. In each crown, the famous Koh-i-Noor diamond was placed.

Orbs & Sceptres

The Sceptre with the Cross is held by the monarch in his right hand during the coronation. It includes the famous Cullinan I Diamond, which is called the Great Star of Africa.

The Sceptre with the Dove has a dove atop it which symbolizes the Holy Spirit. It was created in 1661, the same year that the Sceptre with the Cross was made. This Sceptre is held in the left hand while the right hand hold onto the Sceptre with the Cross. At this moment, the monarch is crowned with St. Edward's Crown.

The Sovereign's Orb was created in 1661 also and is made of gold. On top of the Sovereign's Orb is a cross which represents the monarch's role as Defender of the Faith.

Other Crown Jewels

During the coronation, five swords are used. The Jewelled Sword of Offering, the Sword of State, the Sword of Spiritual Justice, the Sword of Temporal Justice, and the Sword of Mercy are all five swords.

The Crown Jewels have been kept in the Tower of London since 1303! Armed guards defend them.

Kings Crown Riddle (I need the answer)?

There was a king that wanted his only daughter to get married and take over his kingdom when he die. So, to get the wisest person for his daughter he took his royal crown and set it in the center of a 20ft by 20 ft square rug. Put out a notice to all males in this kingdom to come and try to win his daughter's hand.

This is the rule:

1) no body parts and feet must touch the rug
2) no using ropes to hang from
3) crown must be only be removed by hand
4) no using tool or living thing
5) must not have damages to the rug

Everyone tried but only a poor peasant boy did it.

How did he do it?

I would walk out there with my shoes on. My feet will not touch the rug. How old is this King's daughter. If I won her hand, she better not be 15 or over 30.
