The Kansas City Star reports that the Supersonics are in very, very preliminary talks about moving, possibly to Kansas City. We know we've been abused before by moving teams -- we're talking to you, Pittsburgh. But just in case, here are some reasons we'd like to see the Kansas City Supersonics:
10. Using an umlaut to spell Mickaël Gelabale.
9. Jesus Shuttlesworth is coming to town (Sonics guard Ray Allen starred in He Got Game).
8. Squatch!
7. Gives us a reason to play that song “Supersonic,” by overlooked 1980's girl-group J.J.Fad (the original song, not the one by Fergie).
6. Something to be excited about now that baseball season is already over. Oh, it isn’t? Damn.
5. Robert Swift will automatically be the ugliest man in KC.
4. Former Jayhawk Nick Collison can come back and hit on chicks at all his old Lawrence hangouts.
3. We don’t have to take back the Kings.
2. Sonics legend Shawn Kemp can visit his alleged illegitimate children in KC.
1. No fucking hockey!

C'mon. It's a fair question. A.C. Green rolled with the Showtime Lakers, but didn't get laid?
You no-talent mooks need to stick to what you do best: writing about your friends. Leave sports reporting to the real pros. JK: are you still a virgin? Good one.
The good thing about NBA is that if they are in the west then of course we would go to the games. Ticket sales maybe low due to shitty teams in the East but its getting better cause i would go see the Heat, Bulls, Pistons, Cavs, and maybe a couple others. i have 2 sons age 6 & 8 that i would love to take to atleast 10-15 games and the other games could be with friends and occasional dates cause chicks dig the "Big Show". If there is a petition then send me the link cause i want an NBA team in Kansas City. Change the name though
Does anyone here realize the Sonics just got the second pick in the NBA draft? That means they'll be getting either Oden or Durant, both of which are franchise players. Sonics basketball will be fun to watch for at least the next few years. Unfortunately, that makes it even less likely that they'll move here.
Checking back I knew there was gonna be some queer that was gonna run his mouth about my comment. I DONT LIKE FAGS AND NEITHER DO 99% OF THE WORLD...People are just to afraid to be real about it and speak their minds. If everyone told it how it truly was they might not need prozak to get through their days. Freedom of speech is a right and more people need to use it. I am a straight male. I like women. I dont care that there are men out there that like men but I can say I dont agree with it and I personally think it is disgusting that a man would choose to kiss another man than a woman. As for the NBA....I will agree that kansas city is a bandwagon ass city and in 85 they were on the royals bandwagon...then when montana came to the chiefs suddenly the chiefs were the main squeeze. I am Not from Kansas city but it didnt take long to see that this city has very few REAL SPORTS FANS. As for the GAY ASS comment. I Dont like gay guys and never will. I think alot of GAY people put on this huge attention show just for the attention and you cant tell me they dont. If they are really gay then fine but it is mainly the attention grabbers that ruin it for you other gays but whatever....It is your choice.
You forgot one other great reason: KCK native & #25 on the Supersonics, Earl Watson!
So, is describing the NBA as "gay ass" supposed to mean it's a bad thing? Why do you feel the need to equate something that is "gay ass" as being bad.
I'm sorry to say, hockey would fail here just as much as a bad basketball team. If a subpar NBA team were to relocate to KC it would be the Kings all over again. We are a fickle fan base here. Just look at the Royals' games. With success brings a fan base. If the Supersonics moved to KC, it would help that they have name recognition to local fans in the form of Nick Collison and (most likely)Kevin Durant. Having Ray Allen helps too. I doubt they would be a sellout crowd like Arrowhead, but it would definitely help in adding one more attraction to KC for relocating companies and individuals. We are finally starting to look like a city, instead of pretending to be one, and landing a quality NBA team would only add to that legitimacy.
NBA?? HERE IN KC?? You have got to be fuckin kiddin me? The NBA is the POLE SNACKIN-IST FORM OF A SPORT I HAVE EVER SEEN. ALL THE NBA IS IS A BUNCH OF OVERPAID BROTHA'S THAT ARE 7ft TALL THAT CAN DUNK THE BALL!! WELL WOOPTIE FUCKIE DOOPTIE!! ALL KC NEEDS IS ANOTHER STADIUM FOR THE BLACKS TO BREAK INTO CARS AT AND STEAL SHIT!! AN ARENA IN KC WOULD ONLY ATTRACT MORE PICKLE-SMOOTCHES, MORE THUG ASS NIGGAS AND MORE FAT ASS WHITE CHICKS THAT PUMP THE BROTHAS!!
THERE YOU HAVE IT!!
THE TRUTH BE TOLD!!
Hockey is a hell of alot better than THE GAY ASS NBA!! GURANTEE WE DONT NEED THAT BS
have you been to either an NBA or NHL game? clearly you haven't, you've only watched the two on television. as an avid hockey player and fan, i'll be the very first person to tell you that hockey is not a sport that translates easily to television. professional basketball, on the other hand, is one of the most boring $45 i've ever spent.
no fucking hockey? have you been watching the NBA playoffs? fucking boring. give me sudden death overtime and players who'll appreciate the fans over over paid, over hyped, and over officiated basketball anyday. the NBA is not the NCAA. you'll soon find that out.
