Silent Love

Some exist with pride, others struggle with pride, some compete with pride, and there are those who fail with pride, but very few can walk away with pride. 
Congratulations, for as you read these lines, you have witnessed the whole lives of many great basketball players.
This pronunciation was embodied when Stephen Curry, after facing defeat in 2021, claimed that no one would want to face them the following season; When Tim Duncan was convinced before the start of the 2014 Finals that they would not mess up; When Kobe Bryant promised at Old Buss's memorial to take the Lakers to the playoffs; When Nowitzki, shedding his label as a soft player, retreated to the locker room in tears at night; When Kevin Garnett let out a skyward howl after holding the championship trophy; When the 2004 Detroit Pistons won and the F4 Lakers lost…

Our story begins in an era when pride still mattered.

Basketball Legend: When Pride Still Matters

In every corner of Seattle, from First Avenue to Fifth Avenue, from Pioneer Square to Belltown and Cherry Hill, fans were jubilant. In Pioneer Square, crowds flooded the streets, hugging each other, high-fiving, and even clinking beer cans together to celebrate. Alcohol flowed down the streets, and everyone's faces were alight with smiles. A local auto parts chain store spent $50,000 to print full-color posters that read "Seattle SuperSonics — NBA World Champions" and hired a truck to distribute these in the chaos, hoping to reach as many people as possible.


Mayor Greg Nichols officially declared June 18th as SuperSonics Day.


Many elderly veteran SuperSonics fans said, "I never thought I'd live to see the day the SuperSonics won the championship again."


When these old folks were interviewed on the street, they did not display the frivolity of those excited young people; they were extraordinarily serious and solemn.
