What needed to happen was, the Hornets move to Seattle and OKC becomes a SW division team. But Benson bought the team.
I was recording it tonight but I had to cancel it because I wanted to watch the Clips/Grizz game and my parents were already recording Mad Men..
Stern runs this league like a mafia Don. He has got to go. I hope his scum ass gets sued for everything he owns and he looses it. When this Silver guy takes over from Stern he will run it the same way. Jeff Van Gundy for NBA commissioner.
Watching this would make me disgusted to be an OKC fan. How could you live knowing your team was based on stealing a team.
Hello from Seattle Hello fellow fans. Just wanted to say hi and thank you for talking about Sonicsgate. Hope you can watch our movie and get some insight about how we lost our team. We respect anyone's opinion about why the team left. Happy to hear you don't blame the fans. Lots of people say Seattle fans didn't support their team.. That is false.
That was a great watch. Seattle in my mind overtakes Cleveland for the most depressing sports city just because of the way this went down. Add the fact that OKC has 2 of the games best players and could potentially win the NBA title. That's gotta suck luckily you still have kick butt city to live in. The Sonics/Rockets match-ups were awesome to watch in the 90's. I hated that whole team and couldn't stand George Karl. But I do hope they get a team soon their fans deserve it.
Holy hell, I bumped the thread, and I missed it on Friday Night, and then I missed it on Sunday night. They show CNBC crap on Netflix, hopefully, it's on there. We know how it feels to lose a team. We were lucky enough to get one back. Let me say that, I hate the Sonics, they were a rival, but it sucks to lose a team like that. It takes two people/teams to make a rival. Who I feel bad for is Gary Payton. One of the leagues best player of his era, and has no place to call home. You get your number honored by the baseball team is cool, but not the same.
For those of you who want to watch "Sonicsgate", it is available to watch on YouTube. In fact, its in Sonicgates signature 6 posts above this one. Watch it....its very well done and informative.
I like the apparel you guys have on your site I do have a question though. Did the die-hard Supersonic fans end up following the Thunder? Especially now that they are a winning team ?
