A team which had four All-Stars on their roster and was the first seed in the conference could easily get recognized as a superteam. But some things tugged this team from becoming a true superteam. The key players of the team were Chris Webber, Peja Stojakovic, and Mike Bibby who with a deep bench had kind of a cakewalk during the regular season with a record of 61-21 when they finished the regular season.

In the playoffs, the Kings went well up to the Western Conference semi-finals but in the conference finals, they fell down as they blew a 3-2 lead to the Los Angeles Lakers. There are some rumors which still exist that the conference finals series was fixed and NBA former Referee Tim Donaghy is one of those who claimed this. But it surely was an end to a superteam which was trying to win a championship after a huge gap of 50 years.
