Grew up loving Seattle sports starting in 1984.
Enjoyed watching benchers light it up (Bobby Jo Edmonds, Sedale Threatt, Rich Amaral).
Can't stand the 1993 Western Conference Finals Game 7--Suns attempt 64 free throws, Sonics attempt 36.
Will never forget Erik Hanson's pitching performance against the A's and Dave Stewart--10 scoreless innings.
Knows Curt Warner could have been one of the greatest of all time.
Will never forgive David Stern for being spineless during the move of the Sonics.
