Bring back our Sonics! In memory of my father who was a longtime Sonics fan who took me to see them play at the Coliseum and The Kingdome back in the 70's and 80's.

Somewhere in heaven, Barry Ackerley is still asking himself "Why the he'll did I sell the Sonics to that coffee boy Howard Fucking Schultz"?

@markofly76 Also the original owner Sam Schulman thinking the same way too, "why did I sell it to Barry Ackerley?" he admitted that mistake in 1986, three years after he sold it to him.

Thank you for posting this video! Abslutely love it! I grew up on the 1975-76 Sonics team. That is when my passion for the Sonics and the NBA began. Never forget being at a 1976 game when Slick Watts hit a game winning shot with no time against the Pistons.

Yep remember those days too! I started being a fan around 1974-75 when I was a kid. Dad would take me to the Coliseum to see the games!

Wow, 21:20 that flip from Gus to Lonnie, I always remembered that play. Over the years whenever I'd think about that Sonic team, that was the play that always came to mind first in my memory. Man, those were some great times. I was just a kid of about 10 back in those days and I believed the Sonics were gonna rule the NBA for a hundred years.

Whoever is responsible, Thank U, that video brought back so many great memories! And in those early days my H.S. friends & I could usually find a free way into the Seattle Center Coliseum 2 watch the Sonics or Totems. And 2 make it all more interesting 1 or 2 of our H.S. friends were Ball Boys 4 the Sonics & 1 of them, Tom or Tommy H. would imitate the various Superstars like Wilt Chamberlain or Lew "Karem Abdul Jabbar" Alcindor & crack us all up. What a shame of what became of them, unscrupulous businessmen allowed to run amuck over a whole city & what fun they could have created 4 us. Ahh the good old days, I'd give an arm or leg, but not both, 2 relive them again!

The Seattle Supersonics had two All-Rookie selections in their maiden season in Bob Rule and Al Tucker. It was the first time an expansion franchise ever had an All-Rookie choice in NBA history.

Was really hoping David Thompson could turn his career around when Seattle got him. Started out well, but it didn't last.

Thank you. Bring back great memories Grew up a Sonics fan all thanks to those tapes delayed games back in the late 70s. My 1st recreation basketball team, 1978, our team name was the Sonics. My favorite player was John Johnson. Talk about being excited! Thanks again for sharing this video with us. We need our Sonics back!!

I am so fortunate to have witnessed this great Seattle event, went to my 1st sonic game in 1968, their 2nd year in the league. My dad and I and some of my closest friends got to go to so many games back then. No ticketmaster and extra fees, 3 or 4 bucks for kids, 5 bucks for my dad. Will always love the Sonics. I wish that coffee swiller transplant from New York never was born. He really stuck it to all the fans here. My God the Portland trailblazers are the oldest major pro team in the Northwest, Bring Back the FREAKIN SONICS! OH and screw you OKC. Keep WestBRICK for ever because ballhogs and statchasers never get rings!

Freddy Brown would have a more successful moniker in "Downtown", for his propensity of his long range shooting.
