Lakers-Celtics Final Hits Speed Bump
Diehard NBA fans who still have their Magic Johnson replica NBA jerseys hanging in the closet are giddy with the prospect of a Lakers-Celtics finals. And while this seemed like all but a certainty a few days ago, the Suns and Magic are beginning to show signs of life. Each team has rattled off two wins after being pushed up against the ropes early in the series.
Despite the resurgence from these underdogs, the safe money is still on the Lakers and Celtics to be there when the dust settles. If this is the case, it will be interesting to see if Kobe is able to propel the Lakers to back-to-back titles once again. His supporting cast is performing better than ever, and with the addition of Ron Artest, it will be difficult for any team—even the Celtics—to win a seven-game series.
Glory Days of the NBA
If you follow the NBA with any regularity, you’ve probably noticed that the league has undergone some massive changes over the past few decades. Whereas the NBA was chock full of intense rivalries in the 1970s, 80s and 90s, most of the attention has shifted to individuals. It’s not Magic and the Lakers versus Bird and the Celtics; it’s just Kobe versus LeBron.
Some fans have criticized today’s players for their lack of fundamentals, rampant marijuana use and lack of integrity. It’s almost enough to make a basketball connoisseur miss the old days, when players demonstrated a love for the game. Throwback NBA jerseys help to remind us of another, simpler era when money mattered but winning was that much more important.
Everbody Loves Basketball
Whenever I hear the NBA slogan; “I love this Game”, I can’t help but marvel at the sport’s popularity. Almost every place I go, there are basketball courts nearby. Boys of all ages play enthusiastically, trying to imitate their NBA idols. It’s not hard to see that the majority of people love this game, making basketball part of the American culture.
This basketball fever is the very thing that popularizes a lot of basketball players. Almost everyone you ask recognizes the number 23 jersey of the legendary player Michael Jordan. Some like Shaquille O’Neal even extended their fame beyond the court and involve themselves in other field, like starring a movie or a commercial. The sport fever also fueled the rise in the number of sports memorabilia such as game cards and authentic NBA jerseys being sold in different places for the millions of die-hard fans of the National Basketball Association teams and players.

A Jersey Story
The best gift I ever received was a Michael Jordan personalized NBA jersey. I have always loved basketball. But, as an awkward, gangly kid of 10, I wasn’t pinning my hopes on making a career out of it. It was on my 11th birthday that my Dad took me to a Bulls game in our hometown of Chicago.
Michael Jordan blew my mind! I couldn’t believe how high he could jump. Later that day my parents gave me a gift. It was a Bulls jersey with Michael Jordan’s name and number on it. Though, I didn’t end up playing professional basketball, that jersey will always remind me of that day with my Dad, and Jordan’s seamless performance.
An Abbreviated History of the Sonics
The Seattle Super Sonics (also called the Seattle Sonics) were an American professional basketball team based in Seattle, Washington that played in the Pacific and Northwest Divisions of the National Basketball Association (NBA) from 1967 until its final season in 2007–2008.
Following this season, the team relocated to Oklahoma City under a different nickname that has not yet been selected. The Super Sonics nickname, logo and color scheme will be made available to any future NBA team in Seattle. According to the team’s new owners, the Sonics’ franchise history will be “shared” between the Oklahoma City team and any future Seattle team.
The Super Sonics won the NBA Championship in 1979 and were one of two teams of the four major men’s professional sports teams in Seattle — the Seattle Mariners, the Seattle Metropolitans, the Seattle Seahawks, and the Super Sonics — to have won a championship.
Sam Schulman owned the team from its 1967 inception until 1983. It was also owned by Barry Ackerley (1983–2001) and the Basketball Club of Seattle, headed by Starbucks chairman Howard Schultz (2001–2006). In 2006, the Super Sonics were purchased by Oklahoma City businessman Clay Bennett. After failing to reach agreement on a new arena in the Seattle area, the Super Sonics moved to Oklahoma City before the 2008–2009 season when they reached a $45 million settlement with the city of Seattle to pay off the team’s lease with Key Arena early.
The team’s official NBA jerseys (particularly that of the Gary Payton-era) are considered collector’s items now.
