My two sons love basketball and have no idea what the SSS's meant to Seattle fans. I have tried to explain to them how fun it was watching them in the 90's, they just look at me and say things like "isn't Lebron the best player though" or MJ was better, wasn't he?? I haven't watched a game on TV since the Sonics where railroaded out of town (yea I get both sides but dam, still don't understand why the NBA helped make this happen) but feel partially to blame. My kids don't know the history of BB in Seattle.
My oldest son ( 10 YO) has to do a biography for something he cares about for school. Seahawks and M's have already been taken so he picked Shawn Kemp. He chose Shawn Kemp because my wife recommended him. She loved watching him in the 90's. Sucks that I have had to choose youtube videos for him to understand how awesome Shawn and Garry were. He has no idea about how fun the SSS's were to watch and cheer for.
After watching several you tube clips of the Sonics I come away depressed. Wish and hope for the Sonics return to Seattle.
