The Seattle SuperSonics were an American professional basketball powerhouse that dominated the Pacific and Northwest Divisions of the National Basketball Association from 1967 until they made the bold decision to relocate to Oklahoma City in 2008. The team's legacy lived on after their final season, as a lawsuit between the city of Seattle and Clay Bennett's ownership group resulted in a settlement that ensured the SuperSonics' iconic banners, trophies, and retired jerseys would forever remain in Seattle. Meanwhile, the nickname, logo, and vibrant color scheme of the Sonics were made available to any future NBA team, giving them a chance to revive the franchise's rich history. The SuperSonics' remarkable legacy was preserved, with their entire franchise history being shared with the Oklahoma City Thunder, ensuring that their impact on the sport would never be forgotten.
