There is no doubt that Oscar Robertson is the greatest player in Kings' history. Robertson was a triple-double machine with the Cincinnati Royals, winning the 1961 Rookie of the Year Award. He averaged a triple-double in the first five seasons of his career. Robertson also won the NBA MVP Award in 1964.

While with the Royals, “The Big O” was a ten-time All-Star and won the All-Star Game MVP three times. He also led the NBA in assists six different times while also making the All-NBA first team nine straight times from 1961 to 1969.

Robertson is still the Kings’ all-time scoring leader while also ranking third in rebounds and first in assists.

Honourable Mention: Guard – Mitch Richmond

If not for the greatness of Nate Archibald and Oscar Robertson, Mitch Richmond could have easily made the all-time starting five.

Richmond was the only positive for the Kings organization during a poor run in the 1990s. He was with the Kings for seven seasons but he never made the playoffs. Richmond ranks third in points, ninth in assists, third in steals, and second in three-pointers made in franchise history.
