On Tuesday, Jan. 9, the Sacramento Kings were recognized with two monumental titles — the NBA Team of the Year + the NBA Innovation Award.
During the 2022-23 season, the Beam Team broke their 17-year playoff drought + secured a home-court advantage for the first round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs.
The season included even more key feats for the Kings, like:
- More than a 200% increase in game viewership
- Ranked No. 1 in fan in-game experience across the league
- Ranked No. 2 in ticket revenue growth for NBA teams
- Most-watched first-round playoff game in 24 years
- ABC’s largest television audience for a non-NBA Finals game — ever
The NBA Innovation Award was largely won over by our iconic victory Beam, which garnered international attention.
Fun fact, The Beam is actually listed on Google Maps
as a “Place of Worship” — as it should be.
