seattle was a good basketball market to from what i gathered.
I can still remember where I was and what I was doing when the Sonics won the championship. Can't believe that is our only team short of the Seahawks(wink wink) with a major championship and now they are leaving town to some hillbilly mother ******.
Gregoire and Nichols have to go. Sad thing is is that they will probably both gets medals for this from all the tree hugging liberal mother fuckers.
How can he do that? Sportscenter said that the history stays in Seattle.wow, bennett essentially raped the sonics. is taking there championship banner and trophies, records, and everything else besides the name. it'll be as if seattle never existed. he's even going to make a replica trophy.
Even though I feel for the true Seattle fans, this franchise couldn't be coming into a better situation. OKC and the state of Oklahoma are striving, and the support they will receive from Hornet season ticket holders and the rest of the masses will be unbelievable. The new owners, Bennett( married to a Gaylord), McClendon (CHK), Ward (SD), have extremely deep pockets. They are even reaching out to Tulsa to increase the fan base. The Ford Center or whatever they end up calling it will be rocking in November. Only time will tell how long the euphoria lasts. The state of professional sports is turning into a sad situation.
Do the people of Oklahoma realize what happened here or does the Daily Oklahoman feed you guys pro Bennett crap? All those men you talked about are as crooked as they come. Makes me fucking sick.
the okc move should work fine though. i think of it as a similar situation as the jazz in utah. those are some of the best fans in the league. the nba team is the only product in town, so people will go. especially since its a young team on the way up with a big name in durant.
legend i aint, why do you care that the sonics are leaving? you said you hated the sonics and the nba.
