WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SEATTLE SUPERSONICS? // DEFUNCT TEAMS: A SUPER QUICK HISTORY OF THE SUPERSONICS

In this All Sports History video we'll look back at what happened to the Seattle SuperSonics after Howard Schultz sold the team to Clay Bennett, and accused him of lying about his true intentions of moving the team away.

Here's what this "Seattle SuperSonics History" video covers:

The Seattle SuperSonics were the first major professional sports team in Seattle, and were a huge part of the sports scene in the pacific northwest. So what exactly led to Sonics leaving Seattle, the city they called home for 40 years? In today’s video we’ll take a look back at how the sale of the team turned sour, after one side claimed that the other fraudulently misrepresented themselves over their true intentions of moving the team away.

We'll also look back at some Seattle SuperSonics highlights throughout their history, such as how the name was influenced by Boeing's SuperSonic transport plane. Then we'll go through playoff runs of the late 1970's and through the mid 1990's, featuring matchups like the Seattle SuperSonics vs Washington Bullets, and the Seattle SuperSonics vs Chicago Bulls. Finally, we'll see how the team's legacy has has been preserved with the Oklahoma City Thunder allowing the city of Seattle to keep the Sonics 1979 NBA championship trophy, banners, and retired jerseys.

What did you think about the SuperSonics moving to Oklahoma City and becoming the Thunder? And what’s one of your favorite memories of the Sonics? Let me know in the comments below!
