During all 41 home games of the 2015-16 season, @SacramentoKings allowed local photographers from the Instagram community to showcase their unique perspectives from games. Between dog takeovers, model portraits, epic arena photos, and in-game action, each game carried with it a one-of-kind look.

Now, just in time for the 2016-17 season, we're extending the Guest Instagram Program to photographers in the 28 other NBA cities.

To apply, ensure your Instagram profile is set to public, then email your Instagram handle and NBA city to kingsguestinstagrammer@gmail.com. Note that we're looking for great photographers from every NBA city other than Sacramento.

Coming off a career-best season, newest Kings guard Garrett Temple has been hard at work in preparation for his first full year with the Kings. Over the course of the past week, Temple has shared two videos to his Instagram page, both displaying various training techniques featuring ball handling, shooting and more.

Temple netted career-highs in minutes, points and rebounds in the 2015-16 campaign, starting 43 games for Washington while appearing in 80. The 6-foot-6 guard’s defensive skills have been his forte throughout his six-year career, but Temple impressed many with his ability to score when called upon.

See the latest in No. 17’s offensive work below.

One week after lifting Kings legend Chris Webber (and a full set of weights) while on the seated cable row, "The Big Diesel" was at it again.

This time, Shaq showed off his impossible strength by completing several reps of one-handed and no-handed pull-ups.

At first glance it may seem like an obvious camera trick and the big man is standing on a box - which he most certainly is - but, I'd like to think he's using the skills learned from his time as the rapping magical genie "Kazaam".

What do you think? Did Shaq pull off the no-handed pull-up?

Standard gym equipment just can’t seem to measure up to Shaquille O'Neal strength.

In a recent workout session, he and Kings legend Chris Webber were forced to get a bit creative with the weight distribution for the Big Diesel's cable row routine — and no, C-Webb was not his spotter.

“Shaq is so strong that weight machines don’t come with enough weights for him to stay in shape,” wrote Bleacher Report’s Kyle Newport.

Instead of letting that stop him, Webber hopped on the machine to help his colleague feel the burn.

“He’s got me up here feeling like a little kid,” joked Webber.
