olyclimber Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I know most don't care about this petty crap. But who are you rooting for (other than none of the above, which is not a bad choice). Just remembering listening to the Sonics win the championship on the radio as a kid (Downtown Freddie Brown, Gus Williams, Dennis Johnson, Jack Sikma, etc. ) Yeah, professional sports are crap. But if you care, who? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you care, who? Yep that's a good memory. If I care now I'd have to pick between a team owned by a scam artist or LeBron James and his groupies. I'm going with none of the above.

billcoe Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Christ, they're not the sonics any more! Get over it! Corporate pro sports has no mother and no soul. It's all about the money. Past examples of moves: Utah Jazz (formerly New Orleans- they ain't no jazz in Utah!) Los Angles Lakers (named for the state of 10,000 lakes, they ain't no lakes in So cal.) Before they were the Minneapolis Lakers they were the Detroit Gems. From Wiki: 1951: Tri-Cities Blackhawks (the "Tri Cities" area is now generally referred to as the "Quad Cities") moved to Milwaukee and became the Milwaukee Hawks. 1955: Milwaukee Hawks moved to St. Louis. 1957: Fort Wayne Pistons moved to Detroit. 1957: Rochester Royals moved to Cincinnati. 1960: Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles. 1962: Philadelphia Warriors moved to San Francisco. 1963: Chicago Zephyrs became the Baltimore Bullets. 1963: Syracuse Nationals moved to Philadelphia and became the Philadelphia 76ers. 1968: St. Louis Hawks moved to Atlanta. 1971: San Diego Rockets moved to Houston. 1972: Cincinnati Royals moved to a new primary home in Kansas City and a secondary home in Omaha, and became the Kansas City-Omaha Kings. The team ceased Omaha operations in 1975 and became the Kansas City Kings. 1973: Dallas Chaparrals moved to San Antonio and became the San Antonio Spurs. 1977: One year after the ABA-NBA merger, the New York Nets became the New Jersey Nets. Although the Nets moved within the New York metropolitan area, they dramatically changed their primary market within the area. When representing New York, they played in Nassau County on Long Island; their primary fanbase then shifted to New Jersey. 1978: Buffalo Braves moved to San Diego and became the San Diego Clippers. 1979: New Orleans Jazz moved to Salt Lake City. 1984: San Diego Clippers moved to Los Angeles. 1985: Kansas City Kings moved to Sacramento, California. 2001: Vancouver Grizzlies moved to Memphis, Tennessee. Further information: Vancouver Grizzlies relocation to Memphis 2002: Charlotte Hornets moved to New Orleans. and of course, your beloved SuperSonics.

AlpineK Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) Is there a study regarding the time delay between an owner signing legal papers to own a team officially and bitching about the size and or amenities of the arena they play in? Not whimpering since I bet the time delay is 0.5 seconds. I'm talking full on press conferences with arena size-amenities as the primary subject. :cry: Edited June 14, 2012 by Feck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Top 5 markets for NBA Finals Game 2 ratings on ABC: OKC, Miami, Tulsa, West Palm Beach, & yes CLEVELAND. Seattle was 39th. :laf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
