It feels like forever ago when the Seattle Sonics were a thing. However, in actuality, it’s only been eight years. As a matter of fact, Kevin Durant spent his rookie campaign in a Sonics uniform when they went (20-62).
Although it’s only been eight years, the city is thirsty for another professional basketball team and Seahawks star quarterback Russell Wilson is here to help.
I'm excited to announce I've partnered w/ the Sonics Arena Group to help bring the @NBA & @NHL to the best fan base in the world.
Seattle.

The leader of this investment group is Chris Hansen and he’s absolutely thrilled to have Wilson aboard.
