There are a lot of times when I miss the Seattle SuperSonics. They’re a key part of my sports history. I was at one of the wins over the Denver Nuggets in that fateful playoff series. I produced the Sonics broadcasting network for parts of three seasons. My first bit of sports paraphernalia was the green and brick red shoot-around top.
Seeing Nicolas Lodeiro don the jersey of one of the greatest players to ever wear the green and gold brings a tear to my eye. It means someone here is sharing our city’s heritage with our Sounders.
