When the Sonics left Seattle, it created an uproar in two cities for two entirely opposite reasons. Seattleites were devastated that something like this could even happen, while Oklahoma City residents felt like they just lost their professional sports V-card to the head cheerleader as the "Thunder" were arriving with two of the brightest young stars in the NBA. The loss of the Sonics created a doom-and-gloom ripple effect in Seattle that's still creating waves today every time another rumor of an NBA return crops up or the Thunder win another playoff game. Meanwhile, as much as you may rightfully hate Clay Bennett and Howard Schultz, the Oklahoma City fans may be among the best in the league.
