Heart of a Fan​

Supersonic: Finding a Way For What They Want To Say​​

​

“For almost two decades, it has left a void in what has

predominately been a basketball city, and instead of

abandoning our hoops culture, we have found that passion

through youth basketball, semi-pro leagues and of course,

our legendary Seattle Storm. The history of the Sonics

being taken from Seattle hasn't changed the relationship

between the team and the city. The passion has remained

strong and the fandom hasn't gone anywhere. Seattle has

been ready and is more than deserving of getting its team

back. Simply put, SuperSonics fans don't need to prove

themselves more than they already have, and it's the

league and the team that need to prove they're willing to

reward us for our undying loyalty."

​

"I have joked for years that if the Sonics come back, they could go 0-82 for half a decade and the arena would be packed and sold out every single night. In reality, it truly is all about effort. In an era of more teams opting for tanking, having a team that can be competitive in the playoff push would be an acceptable level of success for an early restart of the franchise. I do believe with the level of talent that comes out of the Seattle area and the appeal of the SuperSonics history, there will be at least some stars or borderline stars that would have interest in

playing in Seattle. For the city, the relationship with the team

will be passion that's unlike any other team in sports. Seattle

knows the pain of losing their beloved team and they'll never

take it for granted. Win or lose, having the NBA back in the city will not only create constant enthusiasm for fans, but will give the kids in the city more role models, give the community more opportunities, give businesses more exposure and give Seattle the final puzzle piece to make things whole again."
