The Seattle LeBrons?

Via Sonicsgate.

Gary Gets a Webby!

Okay, our friends at Sonicsgate technically got the Webby for their excellent film "Sonicsgate: Requiem for a Team", but they wisely let The Glove do the talking. And what was his five-word acceptance speech? Watch the video and find out!

Ray of Hope

I know I vowed never to watch another stinkin' NBA game after those bastards stole the Sonics, but last night's Lakers /Celtics game was a miracle.

My eight-year-old son has recently become a Celtics fan (one of the many tragic consequences of the Sonics leaving town) and being the noble, self-sacrificing father that I am, I agreed to watch the Finals with him.

I have to admit, it was pretty awesome.

For one night, at least, we got to see our beloved Ray-Ray (in a green jersey, no less!) lighting up Kobe for an NBA record eight three-pointers (seven in the first half alone). Sure, it wasn't as good as when the Sonics almost beat the Lakers that one time, but for a few glorious hours it almost seemed like old times.

There are a lot of terrible things going on in the world right now, but last night's drubbing of the Lakers renewed my faith in humanity. And, more importantly, in schadenfreude.

Thanks, Kid

Adios, Senor (Senior) Junior

Let us take a brief respite from our wall-to-wall coverage of the 1979 NBA Finals and bid a fond farewell to another Seattle sports legend, George Kenneth Griffey Jr.

Now, I'm the last person amongst the Supersonicsoul crew who should write anything (well, ever!), least of all about the impact Junior's had on our city and our generation of sports fans. Instead, I'll recycle this image I painted when he came back in '09 and just say: Thanks, Junior.

1979 Sonics Finals viewing/crying party

A group of Sonics fans are getting together for an all-day viewing party of the 1979 Finals today at Floyd's Place on Queen Anne. Check out the video for a preview.

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. . .

Follow the Wheedle on Twitter!

Wondering what the Wheedle's been up to lately? Well now you can follow the Seattle Supersonics' favorite mascot on Twitter.

And while you're at it, be sure to follow Supersonicsoul on Twitter as well. Because we hear that's what the kids do nowadays! Now if you'll excuse me, my Metamucil is getting cold.
