The NBA has to bring back the Sonics. The city deserves an NBA team, and I know i'm not the only one who misses the green, gold, and white uniforms. The Sonics had the best uniform aesthetic in sports.

RicoSuaVe i definitely wouldn't say the best 😂 they went together but boston will always have the best green unis, and red white blue jerseys like the 76ers, clippers, wizards and pistons look way better than the sonics did, and purple/gold>green/gold so lakers over sonics too, lets not forget the bulls, heat and raptors and blazers with classic red/white/black, or the spurs with their simplicity and the blue/orange for the Knicks, the sonics jerseys are only hyped up now because theyre harder to find and retro jerseys are popping off, theres been WAY better esthetics for jerseys with actually good colors lmao

Basketball belongs in this city, and it never should have left. I look forward to the day I can watch our franchise come home.

When Seattle comes back Durant is going back home. Durant is retiring a Sonic. But tbh I love the Sonics fan base and just the energy they gave Durant with every move with aws. It was fun to watch again.
The NBA needs to bring the Sonics back.
Best scorer I've ever seen period💯
Was there that night. To be back in that arena, to have so many Sonics fans brought together again, to see Durant on that court again, and to be able to send out the Key Arena in style... It honestly was a magical night. Hope we see basketball back in Seattle soon.
They gotta bring back the SuperSonics. There’s too much history in that franchise to just let it disappear forever.
Dam I want that Kemp jersey
Ray Allen and rashard lewis were my heroes. Bring back our Sonics

Been 12 years and losing the Sonic's still hurts. They're building a new arena though, completely tearing down the old one and building a totally new one except for what they're calling the "historic roof". Looks like it's gonna be super nice and we're getting an NHL team with it. I'm very happy about that. Fingers crossed hard that we'll get an NBA team as well in the near future. Go Sonic's!

I was there… it was awesome! I remember going to KeyArena with my mom back in the mid-2000s watching Ray Allen & Rashard Lewis on the Seattle Supersonics, even got to see a playoff game where they beat either the Grizzlies or the Kings. What could of been… Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook & James Harden in Seattle would of been special for the great northwest.

Please go to seattle KD
Rookie of the Year for the Sonics his one year there😁
“If he goes under one more screen I am going to lose my mind” 😂
The Supersonics were on the cusp of exiting the abyss. Durant was the light at the end of a dark tunnel. They were so close. So close....
much needed W for dubs
Key Arena was the smallest in the NBA at the time. I can see why the SuperSonic ownership wanted a new one, even if it was new-ish. It was about only 12 years old before the Sonics moved to OKC. Nevertheless, Seattle NEEDS an NBA team! Also, maybe KD would've stayed if the organization was still in Seattle. Not much opportunity for growth in Oklahoma City.
Shawn Kemp was awesome!
Imagine Seattle getting a new basketball team and Durant goes there
Growing up a Rockets fan, there was only one other team in the league i ever had any love for, and that was the Seattle Supersonics
That was dope. And classy.
The good old Times,Sonics where a great Team....Hope Seattle gets a Franchise one day
