@fantasyexctasy No, don't move the hornets. California has 4 basketball teams. FOUR! And only one of them are good. Sacramento is going to be moved probably, and Seattle deserves a team much more than Sacramento and Anaheim. The hornets have a good team and fanbase right now, it would be stupid to move them. Sacramento is getting another lottery pick from sucking again, and they have one of the worst attendance rates in the NBA. David Stern, don't screw this next one up!
@SamuraiSwoosh The NBA has never owned a team except in the case of the Hornets. So the premise of your argument is based on a fallacy. Not to mention the fact that most teams in NBA lose money, that isn't the issue. The issue is whether or not a city is willing to prescribe to the worst business model of any league in professional sports history, and subsidize it. This wasn't about losing money. This was about an Ego Battle. Try to brush up on details before you start posting.
@SamuraiSwoosh absolutely legal and/or ethical?! Really? Wow, time to brush up on what happened and then get ahold of the definition of both those words.
@tqsuited The original Blazer play-by-play Bill Schonley said, "Rip City!" to describe a shot in the early days of the Blazers. So the name kind of stuck.
@SamuraiSwoosh You don't understand. Watching sports helped me get though some tough times in my life. When things aren't going well and you want to unwind on a cold winter night, nothing cheers me up than local basketball/hockey. Seattle has neither. People have things they are passionate about whether it be music, television, video games etc. Mine is sports. Sonics fans were good fans too. Btw I'm not from Seattle. I'm from DC. I'm just a basketball fan who just witnessed unfair actions
@SamuraiSwoosh But what about the loyal fans who love this team? You say sports is just a game but to a lot of people including me it is much more than a game. It's a lifestyle. It's what helps us get through our lives. It gives us a reason to cheer.What Stern and Bennett did to this city is absolutely disgusting.
@nhlnflnba18414 I have always been A Portland TrailBlazer Fan! Right now I am on Social Security Disability and cannot afford to go to any games! I pay$20 a yr. to be a Blazer Booster but, only go to 2 games p yr. That is because, my brothers and my parents chip in to get me there. Most of the time I sit between 2nd and 3rd level! I have never sat @ level 100 4th row!!!!!!!!!
The true fan is the poor fan who is on Soc. Sec. Dis. but, still supports the team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@renaissanceknight I feel for you man. I'm not too well off either. I'll be lucky if I can go to 3 or 4 Wizards/Capitals games combined the entire season. I will never forget I somehow got cheap tickets to game 6 of the Wizards/Bulls playoff series back in 2005. We won that game and the series in dramatic fashion that night. I was all the way up in the 400s in the highest possible row but it is the greatest moment of my life so far. I feel like thats kind of sad but sports is what makes me happy
This should have more views.
