Missing in Seattle are the Sonics

I will never forgive Howard Schultz, David Stern and Clay Bennett for taking my beloved Seattle SuperSonics away from the people and city of Seattle. David Stern you need to step down as commissioner of the NBA and let somebody else take control. Forty-one years of  Seattle basketball was gone in a flash. Seattle was once known as one of the top 5 difficult places to play in the league. From first players that became household names in old school players Lenny Wilkins, Slick Watts, Jack Sikma, Fred Brown, Gus Williams, Dennis Johnson to the new modern players like Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, Sam Perkins, Michael Cage, Steve Scheffler, Detlef Schempf, Dale Ellis, Hersey Hawkins, Nate McMillan, and Ray Allen these are the players that help put Seattle pro basketball one the map. Wait one player to add to this list the youngster of them all Kevin Durant. I known once this kid put his name in the draft that he is going to be a special player coming out of the University of Texas. I had the privilege to watch Durant play in his rookie season before the team was uprooted to Oklahoma City and I must say his is a one of a kind player that will be a franchise changer and look at what he has done. Rookie of the year, 2009-2010 scoring champion at 30 points per game, getting the OKC Thunder to the playoffs versus the best team in the West and losing in game seven. With the SuperSonics gone the Key Arena is now filled with concerts instead of NBA basketball. The city could use the revenues that was once generated by having a pro team here right now. If the team was still here people would be rooting for them to get back to the playoffs like the old days of the Glove and Reign Man. Dam I missing having the SuperSoincs around. Since the team has left the state, Washington is still producing top notch high school and college players. Seattle is a hotbed for college recruiters that is looking for talent. Currently right now there is fourteen players in the NBA that is from the state of Washington. So what does that number tell you? It tells me that the city wants its team back because there is talent that runs deep in this state. Players currently on NBA rosters are Brandon Roy Portland, Nate Robinson and Avery Bradley Boston, Jason Terry Dallas, Jamal Crawford and Marvin Williams Atlanta, Jon Brockman Milwaukee, Aaron Brooks Houston, Terrance Williams New Jersey, Luke Ridnour and Martell Webster Minnesota, Spencer Hawes Philadelphia, Rodney Stuckey Detroit and Brian Scalabrine Chicago. The people will continue to find ways to bring back the NBA to Seattle.
