Okay, so the other day I was watching an NBA game with a buddy, and it got me thinking – does Kansas City have its own team? I honestly couldn’t remember, and it started bugging me. So, I decided to do a little digging.
First, I fired up Google, my go-to for these kinds of quick questions. I simply typed in “Kansas City NBA team,” and hit enter. The results page popped up, and I started scanning through the snippets and links.

I noticed a few articles talking about the history of NBA teams in Kansas City. It turns out, they did have a team in the past, a few actually.
I saw mentions of the Kansas City-Omaha Kings, and that got me digging through a few of website.
Past Teams
- Kansas City Kings(1972-1985)The Kings had a short 13 years in the league before up and moving to Sacramento.
Sadly, there is currently no NBA team that exists in Kansas City. I scrolled through a few more articles. After all my searching I found the simple answer I was looking for.
