One season has made a world of difference in how the Sacramento Kings franchise is viewed, but a year ago, they were in the same boat as the Orlando Magic, a small market team that captivated the NBA world. This season, the NBA's favorite trend was to “play the song,” following every Magic win, but a year ago, social media embraced the Kings' celebratory cry of “light the beam.” Last year, Sacramento made the playoffs for the first time since 2005-06. The team had a Coach of the Year winner in Mike Brown and an emerging star duo in De'Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis.
