The first Ring of Honour Award was presented to Tommy Garlepp at the end of the 2020 NBL campaign before last season saw Ben Knight claim the prize. 

Separate from the Sydney Kings Hall of Fame, which is the club’s most distinguished award, the Ring of Honour is an award that the entire Sydney basketball community can get around and involved in.    

Fans and members are encouraged to vote for their favourite players not just for their talent on the court, but for other reasons they believe they may be worthy of recognition.   

• The most entertaining;  
• The courageous;  
• A great teammate; or  
• Those who gave back to our community.  

This year a judging panel will decide a list of nominees for the fans and members to vote on to decide the eventual winner.  

The judging panel for this year’s award consists of Kings great and assistant coach Daniel Kickert, Kings historian Matt McQuade, television commentator and presenter Jo Healy and News Corp’s head basketball writer Matt Logue.  

With just 3 home games to go this season, next Sunday afternoon is the final Freeway series match against arch-rivals the Illawarra Hawks and our last doubleheader with the Flames against Townsville Fire.
