The Worst Part of the Seattle SuperSonics Moving to Oklahoma City

When the Oklahoma City Thunder opened their inaugural season that essentially closed the book on the Seattle SuperSonics. While people outside of Seattle won't miss the team (and it might come back at some point, Seattle retained the name and colors), avid fans of Ice Cube's classic "It Was a Good Day," have to feel a little hurt over this.
When I teach Chase about this song in a few years he's going to want to know whom the Lakers beat.
And I'll have to explain that there used to be a team called the Seattle SuperSonics and they had a starting lineup of Michael Cage, Tom Chambers, Xavier McDaniel, Dale Ellis and Nate McMillan.
Now that was a team.
