Sonics Adventure Pt 1 By Ljcjtj On Deviantart The charlotte hornets are inextricably linked to charlotte, and the seattle sonics to seattle. moving the franchises to new orleans and okc respectively began a new tradition with those communities building new memories and forming new communal bonds. Might have been the same licence that moved to okc from seattle but i am absolutely furious and perplexed that historic franchise stealing and plastic organisation that is oklahoma city thuneer apparently now claim 'ownership' to the sonics 1979 nba championship . what a blatant case of sporting misappropriation history and legacy theft adam silver and the nba commission must address this.
Sonics Adventure Pt 10 By Trollol36 On Deviantart Kemp, having signed a long term contract before the rapid increase in nba salaries, was earning substantially less than most players of his repute. he was outraged when sonics management denied kemp's request for a raise, while offering jim mcilvaine, a five year, $35 million contract. kemp threatened to refuse to play in the upcoming season, and the resulting tension with management. The sonics gave them trouble on the boards (in the 22 games from the '91 '92 season to the '95 '96 season, the sonics out rebounded them in every single game), defended by rotating well, and scored in transition all throughout games against the rockets. The sonics deployed a defence that pushed the limits of illegal defence rules, and hakeem was bad at dealing with it. if hakeem had come up against the sonics in 94 or 95, maybe he doesn’t win a title at all. The nba has always laughed off the charge, but conspiracy theorists often point to game 7 of the 1993 western conference finals in making their case saying phoenix got an inordinate number of calls against seattle because the league wanted to see a suns chicago bulls final. "here was the scenario: a barkley jordan final, and barkley did a commercial for nbc three weeks before the finals.

Until d.j. from 1976 77 to 1979 80 seattle was the league's best defensive team (just 98.1 pts 100poss allowed), and johnson was their acknowledged best defender. watch some of the sonics finals games from 1977 78 and 1978 79 on and you'll hear brent musburger slather him with non stop praise for his defense. For instance, maybe the sonics did better with mcmillan on the court because mcmillan was more likely to be playing against bench units on the other team. maybe payton played more with the sonics bench units than mcmillan did (though that seems pretty unlikely imo). maybe this is a product of noise.
