i'm actually a chicago native and Bulls fan BUT....always was intrigued by Seattle and thought the 95-96 Sonics were a kick ass team that gave that Bulls team a heck of a fight in the finals. so naturally, i was a bit miffed at how the Sonics just vanished from seattle only to land in OKC of all places. did some research and watched "sonicsgate [director's cut]" on youtube and thought not only was it a great chronicle of sonics history but an obvious example of greed and corruption at the expense of nba fans. so i'm just a fan of seattle getting an nba team back. i wasn't sold on the climate pledge arena project but after looking at how other nba facilities (i.e. ATL, GS, MN etc) are following the model of reducing bowl seating to incorporate more retail/restaurant space, indoor protections and larger club observation suites it may be exactly what's needed to bring bball to seattle.

on another note, Chris Hansen seems like a good guy, big bball fan and all. his sodo arena looked great but perhaps he should sell all that property he bought, go to the nba hat in hand with his other partners and try to land a team in Vegas or.....Mexico City. you will need another team along with the sonics to ballance an even number of nba teams.

Originally from Chicago, Bulls fan. But lived in Seattle among many other places.

The Glove and The Reign Man'style of play captivated my interest. Payton's defensive prowess and Kemp putting the Power in Power forward. They would not back down from anyone.

The Lister Blister is one of my all time favorite plays. Alton still has nightmares.

Now that Cactus Jack is a mod. Silver better get with the program and bring the Sonics back to Seattle.

I’ve been a Hawks fan for nearly 36 years but if I ever were to pick a team throughout all these years other than the Hawks to like it would be you guys. Loved GP and Kemp, Dana Barros, Detlef, Mckey Cage and everyone in between. Always had great love for the SuperSonics and hoping you are next in line to get a franchise.

There is no way that the city of Seattle should not have NBA basketball.

Seattle>Oklahoma city ALL DAY EVERYDAY!

Here’s hoping you get back sooner than later!

Cheers!

OT: The women in your city are crazy underrated as far as being fine! Seattle>LA for me in this department as well.

I have a Sonics t-shirt that I bought 10 years ago out of solidarity with Seattle fans. The only other team I've ever bought any NBA gear for is my home market (just two t-shirts).

NBA has to return to Seattle before this decade is over, sooner the better.

Can't wait to have a cadre of new and old Sonics fans show up here. I joined RGM in 2020, but my Seattle fandom starts in Oklahoma City during the early 90's with the Kemp and GP era... yes, I'm from OKC, I picked your team because we didn't have one.... (yet). Seattle was so fun...... and I didn't want to be like all my friends. FF to today, yeah I'm going to ardently support the Sonics again. I also follow OKC and MIN, but I like to watch every NBA team throughout the year - and not just vs my teams. Charlotte my new East team to put on LP.

I'll be keeping an eye on whatever the GL team will be (I'm a moderator for GL and GB Forums here on RGM), i try to keep tabs on development players at that level and report back from the free games on YT. I'm a musician, and enjoy kind of mixed bag of sport -- MMA, Formula and Moto racing, Tennis, and EPL futbol.

Cheers.

New Sonics fan here. Was a Bucks fan until they traded the best player in franchise history for the a platter of trash. Needed a fresh start and I always enjoyed the Sonics in the 90s. Rooted for them against the Bulls and if Karl had put Glove on MJ from the start, things would have been very interesting.
