KC meets KD this afternoon

Kevin Durant talks to  Kevin Calabro on his ESPN radio show (streaming live on the interwebs or on 710 AM in Seattle) at 3:30 pm today. Just like old times (sigh . . . ).

Sonics Talk on ESPN

Jason Reid, director and producer of Sonicsgate, appeared on ESPN last week for a segment on the Seattle Sonics debacle. If, like me, you're too cheap to get fancy cable, you can check it out online.

Steve Kelley, Chris Van Dyk, and Scott Soshnick of Bloomberg News also appeared on the show, but strangely enough, no one wanted to take the side of Clay Bennett.

Tease-Shirt

Just spotted at the Ballard Value Village. Sigh.

Hey Nerds!

We have a new RSS feed, if you're into that sort of thing.  Some nerd told me if you click on that link, you can subscribe to our website in your browser or favorite news reader and keep up to date with the latest whining news from Supersonicsoul. Or whatever.

Now if you nerds will excuse me, I have to get back to my Batman: The Brave and The Bold marathon.

Charles Garcia heading to the NBA

Seattle U forward Charles Garcia has announced his will skip his senior year and enter the NBA draft this spring, leaving Seattle with even less reason to watch basketball at the Key. Sigh. . .

Bring Back the Sonics night at the Key

It's "Bring Back the Sonics" night at Key Arena tomorrow night. Bonus: there's also a basketball game!

Hockey Schmocky

After winning the gold in hockey, the Canadian fans go wild.

Congrats to our neighbors to the north, as Canada beat the U.S.A. for the gold medal in hockey today. Somewhere in Vancouver, Supersonicsoul writer Pete Nussbaum is overcome with indifference.

Saddest Ebay listing ever?

From Supersonicsoul reader Todd Frank:

Now for auction on Ebay:

"BLANK Seattle Sonics throwback NBA jersey Durant Zombie"

Don't miss out on this great auction for the incredibly rare blank Seattle Sonics uniform, with the alternative road jersey in deep red, green shorts with Sonics logo, and authentic sewed-on NBA logo on both. This is an awesome NBA throwback jersey and shorts set made by Champion that you could easily customize! Get some one to stitch on DURANT and 35 and you'll have quite the collector's item. Or put KEMP and a "40" to symbolize his number of children. Or put a Starbucks logo on it or perhaps use it to hang Clay Bennett in effigy. Put a 0 on it with ZOMBIES across the front. I don't care what you do with it. Sadly, there wasn't even a "Seattle Sonics" in the eBay drop-down box for NBA apparel.

Make your bid here!

Vote for Kemp!

The folks at ESPN are voting on the best "in-your-face" dunk of all-time, and of course, Shawn Kemp's infamous "Lister Blister" (see above) is one of the nominees. So go vote already!

UPDATE: Kemp is in the semi-finals . . . but is losing to Pippen (oh the irony!). So go vote NOW!
