ROFL @ near extinction ... How soon we forget that the 'Magic vs Bird' and Magic vs Dr J legendary duels, were both already in Phase 3. In truly launching the golden age before the day Stern was hired as commish. Golden Age started in June 1979, on draft day, David Stern showed up 5 yrs later then turned that Golden into Diamonds

Network coverage skyrocketed under SternAttendance flatlined
Nothing comes before how the revenue $$$ have, skyrocketed, thanks mainly to mega-(tv network) broadcasting contracts. And last I checked, the tv networks (ESPN TNT ABC etc) care not for who is sitting in the stands.

Stern screwed no one, the governor of Washington nor the politicians in the Seattle area wanted the Sonics. I feel bad for the Sonic fans but the state sold them out.

Gov Nichols was a sell out. For sure.
There were 2 years left on the lease before Bennett could move them to OKC, but Nichols let them move to OKC.
Stern and Bennett could NOT believe their ears, when Nichols made the announcement. Neither could I.
I blame Nichols for allowing them to leave early, and that fucking Seattle Council and their motto of "More Important Things"
Stern wanted Bennett to be able to move the team, and Stern did everything he could to allow it, and nothing to stop it.
Was Stern complicit in the move to OKC, absolutely.
Was Nichols in FACT the eventual one to screw over the Seattle Sonics and allow the move to OKC. YES.
...allowed OKC to steal the Sonics from Seattle...
