Seriously....just because they were in Seattle for that long doesn't mean you did all that great of a job supporting them. You guys think you have 41 years of tradition? Hell no, you have maybe 10-15 total, and that might be a stretch. Seattle has been flirting with this disaster for years now, and it finally bit them in the ass. The team couldn't be heading to a better place. And yes....we did help build the Hornets into what they are. How do you think they got Ty Chandler and Peja? Exactly.

Too bad Seattle took the team for granted....for them. They're coming to Oklahoma City, a place where they'll actually be appreciated and have a real platform to mature and improve on. And of course...they'll be playing in the loudest arena in the NBA...the Ford Center baby. Goodbye Seattle....hello OKC. We'll turn em around just like we did the Hornets. It's on, so get your popcorn ready.
You claim that OKC is a great market, and yet... they have no NFL team, they have no MLB team, and Jughead Bennett had to LIE to get an NBA team there.
AD287 - I'm not going to insult you or OK City because oklahoma fans are not the bad guy here, david stern & clay bennet are. That said you don't know what you're talking about. Chris Paul, David West + Tyson Chandler turned the Hornets around. And you'd best learn something from what happened to Seattle...the same thing could happen to you, and it won't take 40 years this time. Don't allow your community to take from the poor to support a billionaire...oh wait, it's already happening :(
the sonics won a championship in seattle. don't know how much more "mature" a team can get. also, if you'd payed attention to the city during the finals run during the 96 season you'd understand what true support is. Enjoy your new team, and your 2000 mile drive to the ocean.
Great video. Good for you going out there to show support. As much as I hate Clay Clay I met Sam Presti a few months ago and he was a hell of a nice guy.
Great Video, Reid. You guys were dedicated going out to Boeing Field at 1:00AM to greet the Sonics. We definitely need to fight to keep our Sonics in Seattle. We will have Bennett on the ropes soon, wishing he'd never taken David Stern's advice about stealing another community's team. How long can David Stern hide and play dumb?

You don't know what support is. I grew up watching the Sonics. I went to every home game I could.
They stole my childhood from me, and now you are just sitting here spitting at us without any legitimate reason to do so.

Sadly, Oklahoma City will turn the Sonics to another Memphis Grizzlies. These hick cities don't deserve NBA teams.

Two definitions of "stern":
1. Firm; uncompromising.
2. The back end of anything.
Hmmmmm..........
GREAT video!
