Among the Indiana Pacers and the Sacramento Kings, two teams set to participate in the first-ever NBA India Games, the latter has been in the NBA a lot longer.

In fact, the Sacramento Kings are amongst oldest franchises in the league.

The 2019-20 season will be the Kings' 35th year in Sacramento and 71st in the league.

As they etch their name in history by becoming the first team from a North American sports league to participate in a game in India, it's time we know the names at the top of the franchise's all-time stat charts:

Oscar Robertson

Oscar Robertson is easily one of, if not, the greatest player in the Kings' history. 

He was a member of the franchise (then the Cincinnati Royals) when he became the first-ever NBA player to average a triple-double for a season.

He went to receive multiple recognitions while representing the franchise for the first 10 seasons of his 14-year NBA career. 

Here's a list of major stat categories that "the Big O" dominates on the franchise's all-time charts:
