Gary Payton & Shawn Kemp MNF Intro Had NBA Twitter Wanting The Sonics To Come Back

NBA Twitter immediately jumped on the ‘Seattle needs an NBA team’ train, rightfully so! Everybody needs to rally and bring the NBA back to Seattle.

Not that the league cares, but I vowed to not follow NBA until my beloved Sonics return. I miss it, but I’ve been true to my word since they left Seattle.

Man, I fucking miss the Seattle Sonics so much… such a great legacy of players I’ve loved. The Glove, ReignMan, Kevin Garnet, Rashard Lewis, Ray Allen, Luke Ridnour, Nate McMillan, Detlef Schrempf, my fuckin boy Kevin Durant
