I know this is all available on wiki but I thought it would be good to have a time line in our forums. Hopefully one day we can add more to it.

Unfortunately, this only reminds me of OUR history that OKC is claiming to be their's....that is just not right. I don't get why they would want someone else's history. Don't they want to build their own? They really don't have any ounce of creativity, ingenuity, integrity or dignity do they?

Didn't Ray Allen break Fred Browns record of 58 points with 64 or something like that? Or did I just imagine that? Which could be the case.

^I don't remember Ray beating Downtown's record Wiff. His career high was 54 against Utah.

They can claim the history all they want, most fans know and we Sonics fans definetly do know that the history belongs to and only the Seattle Supersonics. It is not the property of a band of theives no matter what they say.

Their tarnished history starts now and I hope it is horrible.
