Be part of the group of "never say die" Seattle SuperSonics fans who will travel to The Rose Garden in Portland for the nationally televised TrailBlazers vs. Thunder game on Thursday, Nov. 4.
WEAR GREEN AND GOLD TO SHOW SUPPORT FOR BRINGING THE SONICS BACK TO SEATTLE!
The filmmakers behind the acclaimed documentary "Sonicsgate: Requiem For A Team" encourage all Northwest basketball fans to wear Sonics colors at the game to honor... the once proud NBA franchise and show support for bringing a team back to Seattle. The film's producers will be in attendance.
Sonics fans should meet at the Southwest side of the Rose Garden before the game, near the corner of North Hassalo Street and North Larrabee Avenue.
"We know we will never get our team that was robbed from us back, and it hurts to see Kevin Durant become the best young player in the league on an exciting, competitive team that should be playing in Seattle right now," director Jason Reid said. "But as basketball fans living in the best basketball city in the nation, we have to remind both our local elected officials and the league that we supported the NBA in Seattle for 41 years. Bring back our Seattle SuperSonics!"
Current NBA players from the Seattle area include: Brandon Roy, Jason Terry, Jamal Crawford, Nate Robinson, Aaron Brooks, Terrence Williams, Spencer Hawes, Jon Brockman, Martell Webster, Marvin Williams and Rodney Stuckey.
WHAT: "Bring Back Our Seattle SuperSonics" Fan Demonstration
WHEN: 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 4
WHERE: Rose Garden in Portland, Ore. (National broadcast on TNT)
WHY: Wear green and gold to show support for bringing the Sonics back to Seattle!
