Seattle Supersonics video of the day: Sonics vs. Rockets, 1987

I know I've mentioned this before, but this 1987 double overtime victory over the Rockets is one of my all-time favorite Sonics memories. If I remember correctly, Pete, Raf and I all begged our parents to stay up late that night (on a school night!) to watch the thrilling conclusion to this epic game.

Now, thanks to the magical tubes we call the internet, you can watch the entire game (as well as the pre and post-game) on YouTube.

It's hard to believe, but back in '87, I actually watched this game on a black and white TV, so this is the first time I've seen it in color. Yes, I am that old.

Shawn Kemp to open bar near Key Arena?

This is just too good to be true: according to the Queen Anne Review Shawn Kemp is opening a bar on lower Queen Anne:

Right now, there’s white paper covering the windows at 621 1/2 Queen Anne Avenue (across from the MarQueen Hotel) with the words “Watch 4 Us.” The applicants listed on the liquor paperwork are former Seattle Supersonic Shawn Kemp and his wife Marvena. They apparently plan to turn this space into a restaurant and lounge. Right now, the business is simply listed as “MTK Ventures.”

Read the rest here.

Sounds like they still need a name for the place. Kemp's Korner? Basketbooze? Dunk-n-Drunks?
