As you probably know Seattle once had a proud basketball tradition. Being born in ‘85 the era of Sonic basketball with Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton is definitely a part of my childhood. Of course now there is no basketball team in Seattle the Sonics have become the Oklahoma City Thunder or as Bill Simmons likes to call them “the Zombie Sonics.”
The people at Sonicsgate.org have come out with a remarkable two hour documentary explaining the political and personal motives behind the Sonics move. It’s a must watch for any NBA fan or even a fan of sports in general.
For a taste of the documentary here’s the trailer:
Now go watch the full movie.

Tell me again what was wrong with Key Arena? Not high enough thread count to daub the NBA’s bleeding vaginas?
Reply to JohnWas it really any surprise that this happened? Both Schultz and the Washington State Legislature (including Governor Chris) dropped the ball on this one. We can build new stadiums for the Seahawks and Mariners (who have yet to experience a world championship), but for the Sonics…who had been here for 41 YEARS…Noooooooooo. I hope that lying Communist scum-sucking swine Bennett and his mob go broke!
