@Iconic_sonics@TyLawson3 Always liked watching @TyLawson3 back in his Tar Heels days, Watching him in the NBA & liked him even more now! Sonics Nation appreciate you Ty! ππππ€
This what happens when the State of Oklahoma is ranked Second to dead last in Education while we're ranked 9th within the Top 10 in Education.
People in Oklahoma never tends to actually know & learn & never will. And they wonder why we don't like them & their stolen team.
An OKC fan just told me we should've went to more games in Seattle and maybe we'd still have a team...
These dipshits still have no clue how their team was obtained by their crook owner.
The last Sonics playoff win was 21 years ago, here in Seattle.
It's a top priority for me to bring them back so there can be a whole lot more playoff basketball in our future.
Nice!!! Now get @MLBNetwork back, Make @espn Unlimited available soon & make teams like the Seattle @Mariners watchable on @YouTubeTV without having to pay additional & switch from YoutubeTV to the MLB app just to watch the home team.
Today, weβre officially launching fully customizable multiview on @YouTubeTV.
Our @youtube teams made one of our most popular features even better. The new multiview builder gives you full control to mix and match live streams (including add-ons like @nfl Sunday Ticket), and build the personalized viewing experience you've been asking for.
The NBA has received signs of interest from multiple investor groups for new teams in Las Vegas and Seattle that the league plans to sell for as much as $10 billion https://t.co/auiMPM647f
