Old Kansas City Kings court up for auction
Kings fans of a certain vintage have a shot at owning a piece of franchise history, but they may need a big rig just to get the unique souvenir home.
The old Kansas City Kings' hardwood court has been put on the block by Kansas City auction house Equip-Bid Auctions, with the current bid (as of noon ET Monday) standing at a mere $825.
The main caveat? "Assistance will not be provided on site," and the segments are almost unrecognizable as they're currently piled sky-high on skids.
While the Kings' franchise has called California's capital city home for the past three decades, the organization spent 13 seasons based out of Missouri from 1972-85, a short tenure that nevertheless helped produce a bona fide Hall of Famer in Nate "Tiny" Archibald.
Unfortunately, the team also produced more losing seasons (nine) than winning campaigns, and packed its bags for Sacramento in 1985.
The home court, however, stayed behind. Now the winning bidder will be able to faithfully recreate some of Tiny Archibald's greatest moments in their own backyard.
