Sacramento Kings - Power Ranking

Week Rank Rating Team Record Comment

15 20 28 Sac 4-8 "Say Say Say" by Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson A collaboration between two music legends, this song addresses themes of communication and misunderstanding in relationships. The duet portrays a dialogue between partners striving to express their feelings and resolve conflicts, emphasizing the importance of open and honest communication. Tyler Herro and Klemm (White Chocolate) a duo like no other. Both happy to talk on and off the court. Let’s hear what they have to say.

14 28 7 Sac 2-10 28. Sacramento Kings (Tanzania) The Kings' 'resource-rich' roster is reminiscent of Tanzania's 'natural wealth,' utilizing their 'raw materials' to build a 'sustainable economy' and 'regal' performance, aiming for a 'royal' return to prominence. King's basketball has been a buzz - seeing them down here feels wrong - I expect them to return, and an economic upturn.

13 16 47 Sac 6-6 The Longbow- Incredible range had the Longbow, which was the technological advancement that saw Britain rise to power in the 14th century. It takes great strength and skill to use effectively, which is what GM Klemm has shown in previous weeks, the league is looking wondering if this technology is still effective or outdated.

12 7 72 Sac 9-3 Sacramento Kings - "99 Luftballons" – Nena (1983) A powerful anti-war song with an irresistibly catchy hook. Infectious and deeply loved, 99 Luftballons launched Nena, and season 24/25 has launched the Sacramento Kings. They have become a meme, they have been branded, they have a catch-phrase, and they are sky-high right now. 7th in the Power Rankings, and leaving all doubters in the wake. GM Klemm has been on a PR tour spruiking the ‘stea-KINGS’ and for good reason - they have the hook.

11 3 81 Sac 10-2 The Hydra 🐉🗡️ Why? The Kings strike with a multi-headed offensive onslaught, regenerating threats even when one is cut down. Their 10-2 record mirrors the Hydra’s relentless growth. Main Head (Lethal Precision): Tyler Hero slithers through defenses with crafty playmaking and clutch shooting, striking like a serpent’s fang. Twin Heads (Balanced Fury): Cameron Johnson and Fred VanVleet provide dual firepower, raining threes and orchestrating chaos from all angles. Regenerating Heads (Depth): Role players like Christian Braun and Mitchell Robinsonensure no weakness lingers, sprouting new threats when opponents focus elsewhere.

10 11 61 Sac 8-4 Genghis Khan - King! Emperor! Leader! Whatever you want to call it! The Sacramento Kings have never been more hot than right now! Akin to Khan, they have spread the word, spread their seed (1 in 200 worldwide), and spread terror. Unassuming in their presentation, the Kings have found a magic mix to decimate their foe with the leadership of GM Klemm. Herro at the healm of this bold army, the Kings have been STREAKKKKKINNNGGGG! But they must be careful like Khan, terrains may change and weaponry/arsenal might be limited - beware the words of fates - protect your leader (Ogedei) and fortunes are on the horizon. Failure to heed this warning could be the end of the Sacramento empire as we know it!

9 21 43 Sac 6-6 Hodor - The movable giant who I doubt Bran would have survived without. He has always been there for the Starks, and through Brans abilities of the one eyed raven we were able to see exactly why he is the way he is, which is no surprise that it stemmed from loyalty and servitude. Fun side fact, the actor is actually a somewhat successful DJ in Europe, Im sure his role in the show helped that.

8 17 44 Sac 6-6

7 18 45 Sac 6-6 Cinderella - Sacramento With the Fairy Godmother's help, she can rise from the ashes to become royalty. It seems a Cinderella story for the Kings, as they have been able to maintain a stretch, which has been elusive up until now. They have broken through the shackles and the issues of being downtrodden ala Cinderella. Much has been able to be achieved through their glass slipper (change-maker) - Tyler Herro, able to provide the Kings with a new outlook and new prospects for an organisation searching for a better life. Cinderella is looking for their prince, and the Kings are searching for theirs in the form of the future in the NSL. GM Klemm would be pleased with the 6-6 run of form.

6 17 41 Sac 6-7 Mater (Cars) - Metaphorically, if I had to choose one GM that not only would choose to drive in reverse using the side mirrors, but be really good at it, it's the Klemmdog. Straddling, the line between barely legal and good entertainment , Klemm is somebody who always draws a crowd every time he decides to open his mouth. In the Cars film, Mater has even more characterisation than the star, Lightning McQueen, and this because he is a better character. Emotional and forgiving and unflappable and full of heart, Klemm provides the NSL with something that cannot be perfofmed by any other GM. Even the dialect he speaks with he has this 'cheerful twang' to everything he says, just like Mater. In a great twist of fate for the Kings, Mater's junk yard (King's roster) is now looking like anything but.

5 15 50 Sac 7-7 Jack Torrance (The Shining) - The caretaker of the Overlook, Jack Torrance is a man possessed. Sacramento is on that same trajectory - seeking death to all as they seek their fortune and glory. GM Klemm has been vicious this season, led primarily by new recruit Tyler Herro. Don’t get comfortable, the Kings are able to hurt with just the slightest of moments like a typewriter, an elevator full of blood; the haunting presence of the Overlook will making a man do crazy things. Horror movie royalty, Jack Torrance has staying power, so too does this new look Sacramento team. “I’m not gonna hurt you. I’m just gonna bash your brains in.”

4 20 31 Sac 5-9 V - V for Vendetta. This is the third movie Hugo Weaving has been a part of, but this is his first mention. The character V who wears a Guy Faulkes mask is a freedom fighter planning a terrorist attack on a future British tyrannical government. V has some amazing monologues and interactions with initially captured turned ally in Evey (Natalie Portman).

3 24 26 Sac 4-9 Dont let their record fool you, the Kings have done an excellent job turning nothing into something. Unfortunately they've lost Grant Williams and are still without Mitchell Robinson. When fully healthy this team should be one of the better defenses in the league.

2 28 2 Sac 1-7 “Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)” - Herro is doing amazing this year and is finally taking off in the NBA, he is doing pretty well in the NSL as well, also never noticed how many white guys the Kings have, it’s up to 5 right now, which is kind of a lot in my opinion.

1 25 6 Sac 1-3 The People's Smooth Champion, Klemm, has done a darn good job revitalising a Kings' roster that was lacking a season earlier. Fans are coming back to watch games and the arrow is pointing up. Tyler Herro might be the first worthy, young star-potential player they have had in California for a while. No one will question his heart, but now Klemm's team has less holes than it did. Good job!
