Chuck Stark: Like it or not, has much to celebrate Oklahoma City, Thunder

 http://www.cbc.ca/sports/

Basketball fans around the Puget Sound are in mourning today.

Oklahoma City Thunder, the franchise formerly known as the Seattle SuperSonics, is in the Western Conference Finals of the NBA show.
 This could be our team. 
We could be sitting in the alley.

Nobody cares about Brandon League and the Mariners' run of six defeats, or block the NFL.

We are in the hobby Sonics Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, two of the most exciting young players in the league will keep kneeling.

Lil 'Nate Robinson is their city. Husky's first major knee surgery and will not contribute to the floor during the playoffs, the Thunder, but I have to do to take, during the warm phase of the festival start in Seattle dunk.

Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp was sitting court, many memories of great teams of George Karl, coach of mid-1990th

There are thoughts of another championship parade, rather than Seattle after the 1979 season championship. Lenny Wilkens, Fred Brown, Jack Sikma, Gus Williams, Dennis Johnson, John Johnson, like memories, right?

I confess. I did not follow the NBA closely each of the left and the Sonics to Oklahoma City, but you do not have to look far to find a team that is enjoyable to watch and that is the franchise locations.

I heard a radio commentator, Oklahoma the other day about the forecast for Sunday's game against Memphis 7th

The single largest market in the state, he said, was the old rivalry between Oklahoma and Nebraska football.
A good analogy, because the way the local people in power when the former owners greedy, Howard Schultz, politicians who simply did not ask it the opportunity to keep the SuperSonics in the city.

Remember last year? PJ Carlesimo was the coach and Durant was a freshman on the team can be boring in the history of the Sonics. On the ground, they were not very fun to watch, but not really important. Basketball is in what amounted to a foreign station has taken over is the background every time played behind the scenes.

NBA commissioner David Stern, the current owner of Thunder, Clay Bennett and Schultz are the main villains in the adventures of Seattle, who leave without an NBA team after 41 years of support.

Let me be clear: Not all basketball fans in mourning today the local. Many are angry and jealous of what happens in the Midwest.

When Nate Robinson Twitter last week that the fans of Oklahoma City were the best on the planet,  a segment of the former Sonics fans bombarded him messages, suggesting that Robinson was a traitor.

These are the fans who will never forgive or forget.

There is also a large fan base that is completely irrelevant to have to the NBA, which is understandable. If you do not follow the team of his choice, not the same.
But I repeat. If you jump on the train for an interesting team, check out the Thunder.


It's a shame he is not the case in Seattle, but still good.
