Yakima Sun Kings
October 29, 2014
The Yakima Sun Kings were a resilient minor league basketball outfit that plodded along for nearly two decades in Central Washington state. During the Sun Kings’ hey day in the mid-1990’s, the Continental Basketball Association was the Official Developmental League of the National Basketball Association and Yakima was a legitimate destination for former NBA draft picks and other fringe pros battling to make it back to the NBA. The team won the championship of the Continental Basketball Association five times.
