The NBA may be heading back to Seattle with a deal pending for the Sacramento Kings to be sold to a Seattle investment group. Curiously, ESPN hasn't reported this news despite it being tweeted more than 90 minutes ago by Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski. They really hate being scooped, but even when they are, they throw the 'sources' label on it and get it out there. Anyway, to celebrate the probably imminent return of the NBA to Seattle, here's a look back at some old photos of the Sonics' glory days in the 90s when Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp made the team contenders.
I've included a few from the 1995 Finals between the Sonics and Bulls as well. I know the Kings aren't the Sonics, but the fans in Seattle aren't going to complain. Though they did show their displeasure with the Thunder making the Finals last season. Guess having Kevin Durant for one season, only to see him and the team shipped to Oklahoma City would make any fan kind of angry.
Jeff Green Provides Back-to-Back Highlights on Emotional Anniversary
Boston Celtics forward Jeff Green scored a team high 14 points in their win over Phoenix, and he brought the home crowd to its feet on consecutive plays last night with two rim rattling dunks. All of this on the one year anniversary of his open heart surgery.
Green drove the lane and threw down a sick one handed dunk right on Jermaine O'Neal's headband, then Boston got the ball back and Green finished off the break by catching a lob pass and crushing that. Green had to have major heart surgery and missed all of last season because of it. Good to see him at full health.
