Seattle Wants Their Basketball Team Back

[Mr KLC]

This went on for over 5 minutes. The longest heat I've ever heard a wrestler receive. Bring back the Supersonics!!

Start at the 3:00 mark of the video.

LoL I'm guessing this was in Seattle?

Yep. They definitely hit a sore spot. Would have been perfect if they had thrown the word "thunder" in a sentence somewhere.

[cankid]

The look on his face when he wants to aggravate the audience was funny

[xraygord]

Seattle lost it's team?

[lonegambler23]

citys worthless, only good for H nation

They should get a California team to play for all the transplants.

[KRIT]

We will get a team soon. NHL should be on its way back within the next few years. Once we get the okay from the NHL we have an arena that will get built. Once that happens NBA can't ignore Seattle. Too big of a market not to have a team.

Haven’t you been following the news? They aren’t building a new arena, they are doing a $700 million remodel of the key.

A new Sonics shop may be the world’s only team store for a team that no longer exists.
Simply Seattle in Pioneer Square has curated the world’s largest collection of Sonics gear for sale in a retail setting.
"We carry official jerseys - the $300 got-to-have-it official jerseys they wore on the court,” said owner Jamie Munson. “We sell Sonics bomber jackets, a bunch of t-shirts…and then a lot of it is exclusive stuff that we got made, like a championship shirt from 1979.”
Much of it is displayed in what appear to be the lockers of legends – Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp and Kevin Durant.
For vintage fans, there's also throwback rack.
“We've scoured the internet and found vintage pieces, like the Not Our House t-shirt, some throwback kind of pullover jackets, and a couple of older jerseys (like) Spencer Haywood,” Munson said.
He wants the store to be a blend of nostalgia and hope, for fans who still believe their Sonics will come home to Seattle one day.
"We're going to patiently wait for the NBA to come back and we'll be here, and hopefully we'll be the first place people think of when the Sonics actually do return,” Munson said.
Simply Seattle's Sonics team store is located at 607 1st Avenue in Seattle, and the gear is also available online.
Sonics star Gary Payton will make an in-store appearance on Thursday, October 4 from 5-6 p.m. You can get VIP tickets on simplyseattle.com.

Seattle should get a franchise soon. IMO Both Seattle and Las Vegas will be getting teams by mid 20s latest. Wonder if they are expansions or existing ones like sac, clips, bucks, twolves relocate depending on their current deals.

They ripped off the Rock

[BestPlay2day]

Wonder If they would do the same bit with the Raiders next time Monday night Raw is in Oakland.

Seattle was a great spot

No idea why they left

[stealthyburrito]

That was great heat. You can tell Elias wasn’t expecting that response. He could barely hold back a smile.

[Mrtop7]

[KRIT]

I'd trade away the Mariners to bring the Sonics back.

Warriors and Kings have a preseason game tonight in Seattle, first NBA game since the Sonics left 10 years ago.
