The Kings are preparing to play host to the “King” for the first time this season.
When LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers visit Golden 1 Center on Saturday for the first time this season, it will be James’ first game in Sacramento with a Western Conference club.
It will be a much different scene than his first regular-season NBA game, when an 18-year-old James and the Cleveland Cavaliers lost 106-92 to the Kings at Arco Arena on Oct. 29, 2003.
Now, teams led by James are 20-9 against the Kings, including a 9-5 record in Sacramento.
