The Sacramento Kings have been unable to make the postseason for almost 8 straight years already, and we wonder if this drought will end anytime soon or hopefully this season. Looking back, the Kings actually had several successive seasons where they played great basketball that led to eight straight playoff appearances (1998-2006), and a former Kings player by the name of Peja Stojakovic was one of the major reasons for this run.
On Tuesday night, the Kings gave honor to Stojakovic by officially hanging up his no. 16 jersey beside all the other greats that have worn a Kings uniform.
Stojakovic is undoubtedly one of the top shooters to have played in the NBA and is a three-time all-star who played his best years with the Kings. He had his best season in 2003, wherein he averaged 23.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists while shooting above 40% from downtown.
