Where Amazing Happens: Seattle SuperSonics Leaving

A parody of the NBA's 'Where Amazing Happens' ad campaign with the situation in Seattle. I'm a big Atlanta Hawks fan (we exist, who knew) and feel terrible for what's going on to the Sonics and their supporters. If it can happen there, it can happen anywhere. Thanks to Bill Simmons' mailbag for the idea, keep up the good work!

I don't want the Kings. I want the Sonics back (the Thunder). Or the Clippers because LA doesn't need two teams.

@TankMacnamara81 okc was not even a NBA team when Durant was drafted so you should do a little more research then just wiki where people can change stuff.

[TankMacnamara81]

everyone who has half a brain knows that Kevin Durant was chosen to go to OKC before the draft.  people are so dumb and in denial.

@12Aggiefan thanks to the sonics who drafted durant and westbrook. its bullshit that a nba team can be taken away from a city because the owner who bought it is a lying peice of shit who said he was going to keep the team in seattle, and then he goes to court to rob the city of a 2 year lease the sonics still had in seattle. true sonic fans got screwed. but i dont blame okc fans cause its not your fault they left just dont act as though seattle did not deserve to keep them.

@megamattbd35 I feel your pain its a shame what happen to the Sonics and the city of Seattle. But you cannot blame the people of OKC or Thunder fans. Blame Stern, Clay and Schultz those are the villians not the fans of OKC who support there team. You also need to blame the polticitans like Cantwell and other soccer moms who would rather bulid new stadiums for the Mariners and Seahawks yet leave the Sonics out to dry.

@12Aggiefan BUILT AROUND KEVIN DURANT, DRAFTED BY SEATTLE, BUILT BY PICKS AND PLAYERS THAT WERE AQUIRED BY THE SONICS NOT THUNDER

@lebron2376 Fuk u

Y the clippers.?

[billslover90]

i cant believe that seattle and "soon to be" new jersey are no more in the nba. the nets had heavily underrated players like kerry kittles and jason williams

[12Aggiefan]

@scienceproject6 Actually OKC do deserve a team they, they sell out there games, bulid a new arena when one is needed and they love their team (The Thunder). And the Thunder don't suck they are the new team on the rise in the western conference.
