1950–51 Rochester Royals season

The 1950–51 Rochester Royals season was the third season for the team in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Royals finished the season by winning their first NBA Championship. The Royals scored 84.6 points per game and allowed 81.7 points per game. Rochester was led up front by Arnie Risen, a 6–9, 200-pound center nicknamed "Stilts", along with 6–5 Arnie Johnson and 6–7 Jack Coleman. The backcourt was manned by Bob Davies and Bobby Wanzer. Among the key reserves was a guard from City College of New York named William "Red" Holzman. HoopsHype would later rank this squad as the team with the ninth-easiest route to win the NBA Finals due to the records of both their first round opponent and their championship opponent in the Fort Wayne Pistons and New York Knicks respectively. The Royals (now currently going by the Sacramento Kings) would since have the longest NBA drought between championship teams following their sole NBA Finals championship this season.
