Sonics Win the 1979 NBA Championship

[@Sandcaster2009]

Without the SuperSonics it's not the NBA

[@bluetom8]

Do you ever hear the hometown fans cheer for the opposing team anymore? Classy move for Bullets fans. Makes me miss the old NBA. SONICS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@w1llv1nt4ge9]

OKC can never take this moment from Seattle.

[@carrabbaz6076]

ThatVintageGamer bruh there the same team but just a name change

[@fluffynoses]

THEY ARE NOT THE SAME TEAM. The OKC Thunder will never be the same team as the Sonics. I love Westbrook, KD, Paul George, and Melo...but I will root against the Thunder every opportunity I get. They are a stolen team

[@jacksonconley5117]

This is Seattle’s championship not Oklahoma City’s, they didn’t earn it.

[@JThom-yh3ef]

@@carrabbaz6076That what you just said is like saying the Cleveland Browns have super bowl titles because the Original Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore by the original owner Art Modell in 1996, just that they changed their name to the Ravens. Its not the same.

[@spamwithrice]

I WANT MY SONICS BACK.

[@mikea7340]

Was thinking about Sonics for some reason and remember this amazing time. Seattle was much different place, and that celebration on Capitol Hill was incredible. What a fabulous team.

[@SonnyDano]

The Nets aren't abandoning NJ as much as they're going back home to the island. NJ never supported that team even when they were good. I'm sure all 17 people who went to their finals games are heartbroken, but it's for the best.

Post this game! A Loyal Seattle Supersonics Fan!

[@joaquimsworld]

there wasn't even a 3-point line.. man.

[@stephencurry30258]

1980 meron nang 3 point line

[@tab7madeup]

Meanwhile ABA already invented it since late 60s

[@apage123]

The final NBA game without a 3 point line

[@DrDupe]

HUGE difference between the Sonics and Nets. The Nets are actually going back to near where they started. And the Warriors still exist so I don't understand your comment.

[@bonusbaby801]

Watching this 40 yrs later...I STILL get as excited as I was as a kid watching it.

[@jc940]

Me too, i was 14 years old when this game was played. Seattle should have never traded Dennis Johnson! Lenny Wilkins blew that one BIG TIME!!

[@ericweiler6571]

I'm a Supersonics fan for life. But WA DC has taught us all about sportsmanship. I salute you, DC

[@RYMAN1321]

The Thunder’s only title :( Ya I know this was the Sonics but it’s still the same franchise

[@lukesmith9692]

Just like how Atlanta has one

[@anonymouscitizen8920]

Gimme the Damn SONICS back now!!!!

[@32artjenkins]

Bring back the Sonics!

[@thescatman5029]

Rest in peace, Lonnie Shelton!

[@funkyflights]

Man this was a proud moment for the city of Seattle....

[@lynntempleton9640]

Nice shot of Rainbow Man Rock'n Rollen leaving the court. I wonder if he is still incarcerated?

[@mayhem6282]

Yep he still is

[@marcostar57]

Sonic Boom!! What a great moment for Seattle fans!

[@daxmoney5011]

As an OKC fan this moment means a lot to me maybe one day the Thunder can win a chip. But holy hell that sonics team reminds of the 23 heat

[@mariobetancourt4085]

My mom is lucky to witness this NBA Final when she was 3 years old at the time even my dad was lucky as well to witness this moment as well

[@charliejdk]

best memory of my childhood, bar none.

[@Jarredcapcuteditz_7]

We wanted Sonics Back, Of Course Why did they Moved To Oklahoma City 😢

[@ChesterWilsonJr]

Bring back the Seattle Supersonics to the NBA and bring a NBA championship back to Seattle, Washington!

[@kgobrien1]

Bring back the Sonics

[@taylorsmith9629]

We need the Sonic’s and Bullets back

[@CedrickFoolio]

Wow so 3 point line came 1980

[@jodylancaster8706]

I was at the parade in Seattle. Miss those days.❤😢

[@Patrick-tx9rh]

In memory of my father who was a Sonics/NBA fan back then! We saw it happen on TV!

[@CineRocco]

@WatchVenusSpa AND Bennett AND Schultz.

[@michelleplayter321]

I remember that day I was in the 8th grade

[@plofus]

Michelle Playter Last day of school 6th grade for me.Remember we knew the outcome hrs before we saw the game cuz it was tape delayed here and live in DC.

[@bonusbaby801]

@Michelle Playter...I remember this well. I was a kid living in Tumwater, WA. Watched the series with my Mom. We went SLAP NUTS!!!

[@ihateapplebeeswa]

Happy anniversary. Miss my Supes!

[@joledenilson2409]

[@RYMAN1321]

@@lynntempleton9640 This year, the Thunder used to be the Sonics up until 2008 But it still counts, since it’s the same franchise
