Seattle NBA Fans

League Commissioner Adam Silver recently mentioned Seattle + NBA expansion, and we’ve got a response. Seattle fans, we don’t know when this process will start, but let’s stay the course and enjoy the ride. – Seattle is Ready! #SeattleIsReady X #BeAPartOfIt

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver appeared on The Pat McAfee Show yesterday, clarifying his stance on NBA expansion. We know Seattle is in good hands with its prospective ownership group, and we’re just hoping the NBA shares our enthusiasm. As always, we’re ready to welcome the Sonics home! 💚💛

With excitement around NBA expansion continuing to build, Samantha Holloway — owner of the Seattle Kraken and managing partner of One Roof Sports & Entertainment — was asked about the possibility of the NBA returning to Seattle while speaking at the VenuesNow Conference this week. Her response echoed what Seattle basketball fans have been saying for years: “I think Seattle is really ready for a team. Obviously, we’re ready. The building is ready. The fans are ready.” We couldn’t agree more. 💚💛🏀 #SeattleIsReady #NBA #SeattleSuperSonics

Building takes work — and this team has been putting it in all season. 💚💛 A young team finding its stride, a city behind them, and one more chance to get loud together. Tonight, we pack the house and show up for the Storm. One more game. Let’s make it count. 🌩️ #SeattleStorm #HoopsNeverLeft #SeattleSuperSonics #SeattleIsReady #BeAPartOfIt

Jason Kelce knows good headwear. 💚💛👀

NBA expansion news dropped Friday—and Seattle may have a fast pass to the finish line. 🚨 @TheAthletic’s @MikeVorkunov reported that the NBA will spend September narrowing down a crowded list of bidders for a Las Vegas expansion franchise. Meanwhile, Samantha Holloway’s One Roof Sports & Entertainment appears to be the clear Seattle frontrunner, advancing directly to the final round of bidding. Does this mean Seattle has to wait while the NBA works through the Las Vegas bids? Not necessarily. The league can hold special ownership votes in the fall, so the process in Las Vegas doesn’t automatically mean a delay for Seattle. We still don’t know the outcome, but Adam Silver’s end-of-year timeline for an expansion update remains right on track. ⏳ #SeattleSonics #NBAExpansion #BringBackOurSonics #SeattleIsReady #NBA – at Seattle, WA

When Seattle shows up to honor basketball and the Sonics, it really shows up. 🫶 This is the story of how a local fan and artist, Damon “Creative Lou” Brown, customized two beautiful (donated) Gibson guitars that changed hands from Sonics legends to a rock star, to a hoops-for-kids nonprofit, and — well, you’ll have to watch to see what happened next. Produced by Seattle NBA Fans, a volunteer coalition whose mission is to bring the NBA and the Sonics back to Seattle, this story shows how you, too, could #BEAPARTOFIT!
