- Quotes
Sherman Alexie - Writer: [about what it will take to bring the NBA back] The thing is, if we get a team, it's going to be somebody else's team. It's not going to be a new franchise. So, I read, I keep up, I know who's in trouble. So we're going to get New Orleans, Milwaukee, Indiana, Memphis, Sacramento. To get a team, I'm going to have to break the hearts of people just like me, who will then have to go in front of cameras and talk about their pain like this. And that's the only way we're ever going to get a team.

SONICSGATE: REQUIEM FOR A TEAM (2012)
However, once i started watching this, i was hooked! Sonics Gate accurately explains how the Sonic's franchise was STOLEN from Seattle.
Even if you are a Yankee's fan or you don't watch basketball, this documentary is a MUST WATCH.
Please take a little time to watch it!
It is my second-most favorite documentary of all time after Tupac : resurrection.
With love,
Zane; Faithful Sonics fan
