@countingloot@HeathRow14@PrinceM1113@elitetakes_@nextyear_city65 Long story short, the Sonics were relocated to a city almost 2,000 miles away from us (taking KD & Westbrook with them). We haven’t had an NBA team since 2008 . Imagine how Phoenix would feel if the Suns were relocated to Louisville Kentucky a year after acquiring Devin Booker.
Last year, I saw an interesting tweet from a professor at the University of Washington regarding Umm Ayman and the Ge'ez language. There is a hadith where Umm Ayman approaches the prophet and says "Salam lā ʕalaykum," to which he responds by advising her to simply say "Assalām"
Seattle and Las Vegas are the front-runners for expansion teams, with one current Western Conference team moving to the Eastern Conference, per @ShamsCharania
@PhDniX@DerMenschensohn@Salemm_5@Guggenhe1m Below is the Hadith. Interestingly, I haven’t come across any other Hadith that uses the word ʔamlāk for “kings” (mulūk is used pretty much everywhere else). Interesting to note that the word came to mean “god” in the Ethiopian-Semitic languages 😊
