Why is it common for people to claim the Lakers have won 17 championships but also that the Kings have never won a championship?
I hear all the time about the Lakers 17 chips (I live in the area, ugh) and then they'll talk about how the Kings have never won a ring?
For reference: the Lakers won 5 of their 17 championships in Minnesota in the 1940's and 50's. The Kings (then called the Rochester Royals) won their championship in 1951 on the back of Oscar Robertson, defeating the Lakers and Knicks back to back.
This is kind of just a fuck the Lakers post I guess
Fun fact: The Kings are the oldest NBA franchise still in existence!
