September 19, 2017 (San Diego) - Despite the Chargers hanging San Diego out to dry, new sports organizations are seeing San Diego for the premier sports destination it is. And now, a new face is entering America's Finest City and it's founded by an East County high school grad.
The San Diego Kings are the newest team in San Diego and in the American Basketball Association, or ABA. San Diego will now have two ABA teams, the original team being the San Diego Surf.
The Kings were founded by entrepreneur, philanthropist and El Cajon Valley High graduate Abraham Muheize. According to its website, the mission of the Kings is "to provide a high level of sports & entertainment for San Diego and the surrounding communities. Also, focusing heavily on getting involved in all communities to become the marquee professional team for San Diego.
"As a team playing in the American Basketball Association (ABA) we are dedicated to representing the ABA with class, integrity and sound business practices," the website goes on to state. "Our off-the-court continued goal is to enrich the lives of San Diegans and our student athletes, by providing life development skills, inspiration and opportunities to further their educational development through the game of basketball...."
The team is co-owned by the top accident attorney in San Diego, King Aminpour. The team will begin its inaugural season October 27-29 at the Orange County Tournament.
