Introduction

Welcome to Saving SuperSonics History!

For 41 years, the SuperSonics were a big of Seattle culture and life. The Sonics were the first major pro team in Seattle, and the only one of the Big 4 sports to ever have won a championships. At the peak of their success, fans would come in huge numbers to watch and loudly cheer for our team. There were, and there still is, few places in the nation that have as great of basketball fans as the city of Seattle.

With the team's departure, or as some would say theft, in 2008, basketball began to disappear from the city. While there have been attempts to bring a team to Seattle, Seattle has slowly lost its basketball identity. Simply, you can't be a basketball city without having an NBA team. Some people have boycotted watching any professional basketball ever since the Sonics departed, while others just have lost interest. Without an NBA team, it's too hard for people to be connected with the pros. While that's understandable, it's definitely not ideal. Seattle is too much of  a basketball city to not have talks of games and playoffs and stars going around. And the Seattle SuperSonics have had too great of a history to be forgotten because people have stopped caring or thinking about NBA basketball.

The purpose of this blog is to help keep the presence of the Sonics in Seattle. This will be a blog about basketball, but more aimed towards fans of the SuperSonics. I'll talk about things going on in the NBA, but try to add a Sonic twist to it. I think a lot of those who read this will learn a bit about Sonic history too. All in all, I hope to keep thoughts and discussions about the NBA strong in Seattle- as if we actually did have an NBA team.

I hope you all enjoy reading!
