Sacramento Kings without a kingdom
The Sacramento Kings are born as Rochester Royals, one of the original teams in the NBA. They play in Rochester from 1946 to 1957, then moved to Cincinnati. The last won the NBA championship before leaving Rochester is that of 1950-51, 4-3 in the final to the New York Knicks.
The Cincinnati Royals remain in Ohio 14 years before making a bundle, but without carrying the nickname for Kansas City. To keep the real nickname, but with greater Kansas for alliteration, become Kansas City-Omaha Kings.
Name changed to Kansas City Kings in 1975-76 and remains so until 1986. Then the threshold is moved to the capital of California, Sacramento Kings and becomes. The name will not change any more. And even the bulletin board.
