When the Sonics comeback that rivalry with OKC is going to be good
As an OKC fan from OKC, honestly nobody considers the supersonics part of the Thunder. We just don't care. I hope Seattle gets a new Sonics team.
But it's important to remember, the ONLY MAJOR PRO SPORT in Oklahoma is the Thunder. We are just glad to have a team and that's why we are fanatics about it.
I wish we got our own team from expansion but it happened how it happened.
Seattle Washington had their chance already
(they dont get a 2nd chance to have a team)
it's somebody else's turn NOW
@@eyewatch2see77 Not about second chances it's about where the fan base for basketball is, and fans don't forget when you steal their team from them. Baltimore Colts anyone?
@@blacksaintsaens no 2nd chances
go research the REAL history on WHY Seattle dont have a team ...
@@blacksaintsaens wrong!!
this aint got nothing to do with a "fan base" .. each of the 8 teams who want to be included, ALL have a fan base .. duh!!
THIS is a very lengthy process
and it's a process that's complicated to people like you ..
(there's a whole lot of details involved)
there are 8 different Locations that have to come up with 7-billion dollars, IF they want a team ..
THEN there's a bidding process and the HIGHEST bidders will enter an
EXPANSION DRAFT in order to be chosen .. (all 8 will NOT be chosen)
in the END each existing nba team, will lose players in order to fill the rosters of the expansion teams that were selected ..
If the NBA expands to Mexico, it could replicate the transformative effect seen in Canada. Before the NBA expanded to Toronto and the late Vancouver Grizzlies, in the 90's NBA only had 2-4 Canadians like 2-time MVP Steve Nash, Samuel Dalembert, Jamal Magloire, and Rick Fox. The NBA now boasts 24 Canadian players and 12 more in the G-league during the 2023-24 season. Canadian players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jamal Murray, RJ Barrett, Andrew Wiggins, Dillion Brooks, Sheldon Sharpe, Luguentz Dort, Benedict Mathurin, Andrew Nembhard, Dwight Powell, Kelly Olynyk, Brandon Clarke, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Delano Banton, Trey Lyles, Caleb Houstan, Oshae Brissett and Tristan Thompson and six other. The expansion to Canada has significantly increased the league's presence in Canada and brought in a wealth of talent who would have chosen a different sport if not for the NBA in Canada. A similar expansion to Mexico could have a similar effect, bringing in new talent and expanding the global reach of the NBA.
Ain’t no 5’5 Mexican hooper makin the league bro.. but u right tho
There's no chance that the NBA expands to Mexico City. Some of the problems with that include, but not limited to, high elevation, high crime rates, language barrier, many American families of NBA players not wanting to live in Mexico, traveling time between Mexico City and teams from super far away cities (e.g., Boston, New York, Brooklyn & Toronto) being disadvantageous, and basketball not being a favorite sport amongst many Mexicans when you compare basketball to baseball or association football a.k.a. soccer, or lucha libre.
Diego Sanchez jersey would be crazy.
ChatGPT
@@SilasSinclair-c4i what about ChatGBT. I wrote it myself and researched the Canadians in the NBA as I am Canadian.
Seattle supersonic jerseys would go hard
been there done that
(no 2nd chances)
they had their turn
@@eyewatch2see77idk about you but I think they’ll get their second chance eventually. Might not be now but I can def see it
@@TyrellGordon no one knows
which of those 5 locations will be the actual EXPANSION teams ..
it would be FAIR to the locations that NEVER had a team, to actually have one for the FIRST time, because they too deserve the opportunity to have a team.
Bring back the Seattle Supersonics!
Its gonna be Vegas unfortunately
Its not happening. It's really complicated but replacing the Sonics would lose their owners money. you would need shove office space and its infrastructure out the way to make room for the NBA. And in most cities that's reasonable but Seattles downtown is so valuable that the NBA wouldn't make as much money. That's why Howard Schultz got off them.
@@voiceofreason2674a Seattle expansion team would obviously use Climate Pledge Arena, no need to make room when there’s a state of the art arena already in the city.
Nah
*Seattle Washington had their chance already*
(they dont get a 2nd chance to have a team)
*it's somebody else's turn NOW*
Las Vegas has EVERY sports team,
EXCEPT >the NBA
give Las Vegas their missing piece
Seattle and Vegas will be added, Minnesota will move to the Eastern conference to be able to be more geographically related in their division (Milwaukee, Chicago, Detroit). The league will have 4 teams per division, 4 divisions per conference. I think they would go
Eastern
Boston Philly NY Brooklyn
Cleveland Toronto Indiana Washington
Atlanta Miami Orlando Charlotte
Minnesota Milwaukee Detroit Chicago
Western
LAL LAC Phoenix Las Vegas
Seattle Portland Golden State Sacramento
Denver Memphis Utah OKC
Dallas Houston San Antonio New Orleans
This is how it should go.
I’m from Minneapolis and the wolves are way closer to Milwaukee and Chicago than any western conference cities.
I could drive to Milwaukee in 4 hours and to Chicago in 6.
Takes me 11 hours to drive to Memphis or OKC.
I think you’re on the right track but I think the NBA should just get rid of divisions altogether. Since the format change to just the best 8 teams and then to the play in divisions have been meaningless except for scheduling. I think the NBA should just go Eastern and Western Conference and while making schedules try to keep some of those division rivals alive like Lakers/Clippers, Philly/New York, Heat/Magic etc. That’s just my opinion because I think it makes expansion easier so you don’t have to balance divisions just conferences.
I agree but would swap Brooklyn and DC
Why Memphis in with Denver and Utah? It’s closest to NOLA and should be in a division with them. Split the Texas teams up
@@MrRebelMan360 bro what, the texas teams NEED to be together. It would make much more sense to be in a division with geographical rivals. The Grizzlies division would be spread out, but it would make sense for them to play teams like OKC
If Mexico gets a team San Antonio is gonna be a battle ground
✔a Mexico City nba team .. (yes)
I'm here for the Tijuana Putos
@@zibberebbizdon’t let FIFA hear you use that word
I was watching the video and looking at some comments, someone saids first great video. I was confused then I checked your account with 1 video and 33 subs. You are amazing so keep up your great work man.
Thank you!
AGREED!!!
@tiaralee#der
1.) Seattle
2.) Vancouver
Vegas still has a lot of obstacles to overcome still. The two obvious choices have to be Seattle and Vancouver. Both cities got robbed for smaller markets. Both cities with an established fan base and it geographically aligns the NBA alot better.
MAKE IT RIGHT ADAM SILVER!!
Yes 😊
Nah, cuz Vancouver has a problem with its own population right now
@@Neotoxy_ How so??
Both teams would be in the west which west team would you make move to east
@@rickthekid5552 Memphis or New Orleans since they're the closes to the east.
Memphis would be cool to move to the east if Vancouver is added to the west so there's another rival in the championships. There's also a chance for a Canadian championship between Toronto vs Vancouver.
Other cities deserve a NBA team too like Louisville, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, San Diego and St. Louis.
I've always liked the idea of adding more teams out west so we can bring teams that historically have been out west but should really be east (such as the pelicans or grizzlies) to the eastern conference. I think this would also help to balance out the two conferences as well
@@mr.crispyfriedchicken3946 Timberwolves definitely
Get the Sonics back in Seattle first
@@seroccoprime2774 yes and then the rest they can pick and choose. After Seattle I would want Louisville and St. Louis as eastern conference expansion teams.
Kc and San Diego have had teams before.
If the NBA expands to the SuperSonics Kevin Durant should sign a one-year or a 1 day deal just to retire with them
More like a 10-day contract...
I like the way you present your personal opinion on the topic here and there. This is a great video. You’re gonna be big one day if you keep at it!
Right. Like this video was shockingly good and well presented
Just so you know: From what everyone is saying, it appears that Vegas and Seattle are teams 31 & 32, but if the NBA eventually expands to 36, I see Mexico City as LOCK for the 33rd or 34th team!!! Mexico City is larger than New York City, with over 22 million people living there. (over eight times larger than Vegas) Mexico City has 10's thousands of filthy rich people in areas of the city as beautiful as any city in the USA (the area of Polanco is like Beverly Hills with better food). Mexico City, from a player standpoint, has fantastic restaurants. Mexico City has more top 50 restaurants in the WORLD than any US city, including NYC. As for safety, Mexico City's murder rate is lower than 23 of the 30 NBA cities in the NBA so serious crime is not an issue. For example, the murder rate in Memphis, Detroit, Cleveland, and Philadelphia is 8 to 9 times the rate of Mexico City. Mexico City already has a G-league team and is among the top in attendance. Expanding to Mexico opens the market to 133 million Mexicans and is a doorway to the rest of Latin America. Mexico City is only under 4 hours and 40 minutes by plane to NYC and 4 hours to LA, so distance is fine. As for altitude, the NBA has played over 30 NBA exhibition and regular season games there over the last 20 years (the NBA wouldn't play that many games there IF NO INTEREST) without altitude being an issue for players in those games, including the present G-league team. I have visited Mexico City 3 times for work, and altitude was never an issue. I am no athlete, so NBA players should have ZERO issues dealing with altitude (as players in the G-league). Adam Silver has repeatedly mentioned Mexico City as the next wave of expansion cities if and when the NBA expands beyond 32
There will be a team in Europe before there's ever a team in Mexico. 🤷 The insurance costs of traveling players and staff there regularly just make it a complete no-go financially.
There never will be a team from Europe in the nba for at least the next 20 years, the nba would rather move to richer Middle East than europe
@@Cooe.there will never ever be an NBA team in Europe. The Euroleage is too established and it would kill the growth of basketball in a lot of those countries.
@@Not_Sal This is absolute nonsense. First of all, the NBA doesn't give a shit about Euroleague. (Just like the entire world outside of Europe doesn't). Second of all Adam Silver isn't an idiot. Europe is a MAJOR growth opportunity ripe for the taking. NBA basketball and money wouldn't kill off growth, it would ignite it like a rocket. Your obvious self fart huffing European elitism is very apparent though lol. 🙄
mexico city is literally like LA but in mexico
Damn what a great and complete video. Keep up the good work dude!
Seattle had their team stolen. Blame goes to Stern for allowing it to happen
As a life long Sonics fan, I partly agree. the NBA is a buisness for the owners, that's how they make their money. The city of Seattle wouldn't give the team a new arena. So, the city of Seattle gets part of the blame.
Not sure if you mentioned this, but Vegas seems to be the indefinite home for the In-Season Tournament.
Las Vegas is the HOME of "every single sport" that there is ..
there's only 1 missing > an NBA team ..
Bro looks like Xavi Simmons
League expanded when Jordan badbulls in 90s when the talent pool wasn't even that big but now team got hella talent expansion makes sense needs it
They’ll need it sooner than later. It isn’t just “oh cool my city is getting a NBA team” now, it’s also “this team has five max level players and their rookie bench are averaging 17-18 a game when the starter is out.” Like you said, they NEED it.
bro this vid is fire I though this was from a bigger channel, keep doing your thing bro just subbed
This was done really well! For you to be so young u were able to put together the history of everything really well! Definitely subbed keep up the good work!
As a Oregonian and Blazers guy, don't let anyone tell you that we aren't just as much fans of the Sonics, and vise versa. Those are the lies of our fan bases, but deep down we all love both teams equally. #BringBackOurSonics #Sternzilla
I've lived in Salem for 23. But, I grew up partly in Washington. I am loyal to the Seattle teams! I want that I-5 rivalry to come back!!!!
Nice content dude! Very impressive for one of your first videos! I’m very impressed with the composition and found footage used.
Love the background music
What sonic soundtrack is that from again?
Mexico please…. I could rep two teams
great video breaking down the history of how we got here. shoutout to the pokemon BGM and alchemist beats in the background
This is an amazing first video - keep it up! The doodle drawings are a nice touch. I subscribed.
Nice research and delivery. Keep up the good work
I have lived in Oregon for 23 years. But, I lived west of Seattle, two different times, for a total of 14 1/2 years beforehand. When I moved here, my loyalties were set to the state of Washington. I have remained true. The Huskies, Seahawks, Sonics, Kraken, Sounders, and Mariners are all my favorite teams in their respective sports leagues and levels. I lived in Alaska from 95 to 99, but didn't get into hockey much because Seattle just had the Thunderbirds. Now that they got the Kraken, I like hockey! I hope they bring back the Sonics so I'll have a favorite NBA team again!!!
I dont feel bad for oakland! California has like 18 teams or some shit in the 4 major leagues.
The new cities should be Seattle and St. Louis. Seattle is essentially ensured, and St. Louis has atrongly proved itself as a sports city along with being a large dead spot on the map
All they need to do realistically is get deals finalized with seattle and LV future owners and governments of the city, and then annouce them at the same time or close to each other, and move new orleans to the eastern conference (where i think it should of been all along) and then it would be a perfect 16 and 16 in each conference
I think Minnesota makes much more sense to move to the east, it would have to travel less with the Bulls, Bucks, Pistons, & Pacers pretty close by while the Pelicans would have way worse travel if they went to the east.
Montreal with an nba team would be sick
We all know how Centre Bell can break players' ears: you only need to look at the last NBA games in there. Montreal is big enough as a market to make it work.
Only, the biggest obstacle is the ownership.
Sure, much has been made of what made Montreal unattractive to players (horrible weather and taxation; language is not as big of a deal since living in Montreal without knowing French is feasible on a NBA salary, just don't expect to live anywhere in the city) and it will probably force Montreal into the luxury tax, and maybe even first apron...
I’m saying, they need to make it happen man
excellent narration and writing. Good job. Also, Go Owls!
This video just earned u a sub. Very well written and spoken. Keep it up more success is on the way!💪🏿
Seattle, Vegas, KC, St Louis, Pittsburgh, Montreal. 36 teams, 6 divisions of 6

there will be NO second chances

Sonics v Thunder is going to be an intense feud for certain as well as the return of the i5 rivalry with the Portland Trail Blazers.
didnt think about that... 😮
Great video with informative insights on the NBA's future!
Imagine if the Sonics come back and win the championship before OKC💀
That'd be peak basketball

Great video, very well done.
The Sonic 2 Casino Night music while talking about Vegas. Genius! 😂
Great video
I wanna see Mexico and Vegas get a team
👍
I still say Louisville needs a team, great basketball market and die hard fans, they deserve something!
We all know its going to be Vegas and Seattle. Adam basically confirmed it in an interview
This is great. Keep it up, young man!
If they're going to add two more, one has to be Seattle Supersonics!
Absolute banger of an analysis. Great job brother!
The talent pool in the NBA is currently the strongest it has ever been. In the 2023-24 season, 140 foreign-born players (25%). In contrast, in 1990, there were only 21 foreign-born players (4.5%). The number of American-born players has decreased slightly (17 less), with 421 in 2023-24 compared to 438 in 1990, despite a larger league size (30 teams now versus 27 in 1990). This decline in American-born players is noteworthy, given the significant increase in the US population by 95 million since 1990. The rest of the world produces more talented NBA players, 120 more foreign-born players than in 1990. This suggests the league's overall talent level has grown and could potentially expand to 36 teams.
is that DOOM in the background? good vid bro👍
If the Sonics do come back do they get their title back?
Nope
@@ammarnapata2193 why not it's their championship
@@1highvelocity1 no it's okcs
@@Himmyjewett it was won in 1979 they were the Seattle Supersonics they didn't become the Thunder until 2008 unless you know something I don't where KD won a championship before he joined the Warriors
It wouldn’t physically be the Sonics, but everyone would say it’s the Sonics, because it would be a expansion team, they wouldn’t be getting their history back
I want this to happen, so my Wolves get moved to the East
Put a team in Louisville, St. Louis and San Diego too
Seattle and Vegas. Move Minnesota to the east.
After these two cities, the next 4 will be more wide open...
Didn’t expect to see so much footage of my Maine Celtics in this vid but it was quite welcomed. Great vid.
We need more teams now seriously
Most likely, the expansion cities will be Seattle, Las Vegas in the West and probably a toss up with Cincinnati, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Nashville, St.Louis and Montreal as the biggest contenders for a team in the East. (Buffalo won't happen because of how close they are to Toronto and Baltimore won't happen because of DC and Philly).
And yes, it will change everything as it currently is in the NBA. Expansion always does.
Which is a good thing. The league would get stale if it didn't change some things now and then.
Though, I am sure there are a few things we can say we wish would come back.
Kansas City and San Diego could eventually get teams again as well. Though, I have a feeling that Memphis is going to want to keep St.Louis and Nashville free if they decide to move out of Memphis, just simply because there is a lot more money in either market if they go there and I know they are going to want to get a new arena in the near future.
theyre not going to expand by that much. 32 to match the NFL seattle Vancouver vegas realistically and redefine the conferences and divisions
Great video - very well done!
Let's get you to 1,000 subs and monetization, my man. Keep it up!
I think expansion will be quite good for prospects. Every new team adds roughly 20 thousand new player minutes per year, because teams are too talented at this moment to wait for currently bad young guys to maybe be good.
More minutes in general and more bad teams will help get young prospects minutes and opportunity.
I think the cool thing that this video pointed out is the continuation of the historic trend of NHL franchises being the impetus for places getting NBA teams since the arena is able to be switched easily.
Thumbs up and subscribed my guy hope you the best in your career 👌
Video is rad!! Killed that. Imo tho Oakland took the A’s and the Warriors from Philly back in the day. The Warriors one hurts as a Philly fan cuz they kept all the Philly championships and Wilt Chamberlain and the Raiders were back and forth from Oakland to LA over the years. Sucks but 2/3 of those teams aren’t even originally Oakland. S/O Philly and the Owls lmao
I credit the popularization of the NBA to the now-defunct Prime SportsChannel Networks Associates
Bro, don't feel bad for Oakland fans. They still have every pro sport locally. They just have to travel 15 minutes further to see it.
CANADA NEED A SECOND TEAM. Montreal x Toronto rivalries would feed families man
A video this good with only 260 subs is crazy, good work man
This was a great video and very informative. It is time to see the NBA expand. I would love to see the NBA back in Seattle and in Vegas. The problem I see with having an expansion team in Seattle is the fact that it would take years for the franchise to see any real success and I’m not sure that city can take on or accept a loosing franchise. The fact that there is not any generational players coming out of the draft any time soon as well as the lack of star free agents would leave Seattle as a bottom feeder for many years.
Now as for expanding to Vegas… this would be a fantastic for the NBA. Vegas is quickly becoming a sports Meca. I could see plenty of players wanting to play in Vegas. I don’t think it will take very long at all for Vegas team to be successful. The one factor that I can’t see is that Vegas won’t have a team until LeBron James retires. Simply because LeBron cannot own a team and play for another team buried and everybody knows that LeBron Would be the key component to bring Vegas to the NBA. As much as people don’t wanna hear it I can see the NBA, expanding to Vegas and Mexico City before Seattle gets their team back. A team in Mexico City would not have such a high demand for a quick successful team. This would allow the NBA to cross the southern border and start a whole new market. Much like they did and Canada. The demand would not be so high for success considering the people of Mexico City would be happy to watch the game.
KC or STL needs a team, I’d favor KC because of how big of a fan base the Chiefs have, plus KC got there team taken away from them to Sacramento way back when the new owners promised the fanbase they wouldn’t leave KC, and then did.
I’d pick STL because it’s a bigger market
Considering the Raiders moved to Las Vegas and the A's are in the process, is it too far fetched to think that Vegas would be awarded the Sonics licensing and branding? Las Vegas Sonics could be something..
Well edited/made video I shall say
Puerto Rico needs an NBA team
The 2 smartest options are Vancouver and Seattle, both had teams taken from them, both would have lots of fans, both are big markets, both are in the actual northwest to help out teams like Minnesota who can now move to a conference which actually makes sense for them to be In , I think there’s 0 debate here, Vegas can come later
Vancouver and Seattle
both had NBA teams in the past
(there's no 2nd chances)
a location that NEVER had an NBA team
would be a FAIR focal point ..
Las Vegas has "every single sports team" that there is to have,
they're only missing 1 > an NBA team ..
(which is why they'll be the perfect location for an NBA expansion team) duh!!
We need a team in Montreal
its not happening we can barely get people too come too canadiens games. And the people that would come too games live in the west island and other suburbs. our upside is our transit
@@simonrappoport3678not even true. Most Habs games are sold out!
@@simonrappoport3678 they’re not even good are they?
I get that the league wants to expand into Seattle and Las Vegas, but doing so will make it so that they’re an uneven number of teams in each conference. Will they finally make New Orleans an Eastern Conference team? Especially since they’re on the eastern part of the US. This is the biggest question for me.
I love that you used the Casino Night theme from Sonic 2 for the background music for the Vegas portion of the video
It should be seattle and kansas city but it'll be seattle and vegas. I just think we need another team in the heartland, and vegas has enough teams already. I do think we need two more teams, and I think this will make the play-in more reasonable(unless they make it larger), but im worried it will hamper parity(it probably won't but i am slightly worried)
it will be Kansas City "and" Vegas
Seattle already had an NBA team in the past
(no 2nd chances)
it's another locations turn now,
a location that NEVER had an NBA team before
The perfect expansions would be:
East- Louisville, Pittsburgh
West- Las Vegas, Seattle
Im Australian and i can say for sure there is no competition between the NBL and the NBA the truth is we do love basketball but not as much as AFL or Rugby and much more importantly we dont invest money in to sports teams the same as you guys do and thats in any sport to use afl as an example the first every player to sign a million dollar contract was in 2007 and AFL started in 1896 the current highest payed AFL playe makes 1.5 million and NBL players earn around 400 thousand if they're good and i believe the highest paid is on 850 thousand so your are very correct in saying internationally atleast for the NBL there is no competition we just couldn't match the talent and money of the NBA and probably never will we just don't commercialise sports the same as the USA
Adam Silver Should Focus on Seattle If Vancouver not Focus that Silver Going With I Say Seattle Over Las Vegas 🏀🏀 Seattle Has The Sport Market As Well
Its weird how they left Seattle right as the economy improved.
A team is needed in the West Virginia Ohio Kentucky Tri State area. Vegas would be A great move as well but Seattle still crying just gets old don’t get me wrong Gary Peyton $ Shawn Kemp was fun in the 90’s but let’s be real the only way Seattle gets the SuperSonics back is with that Starbucks $$$
Don’t sleep on that Amazon money either
West Virginia? 😂
@@jimmyquickFr I want what he's having
No Mexico City. Go with Seattle and Las Vegas
I hope it is expands!
Montreal Quebec Canadá would be a perfect nba city, as well as Seattle, Baltimore, Vancouver Las Vegas, San Diego, Kansas City, Louisville, Pittsburg or even another team in New York City or specifically a New Jersey team, you could
Make arguments for so many places
the Nets just moved from New Jersey to Brooklyn because New Jersey didn't give them a new arena. That's the same reason why the Sonics left Seattle for OKC. Seattle has a new arena. Why would they put another team in New Jersey with no new arena?
little late, but this is great for your first vid, id reccomend adding text when quoting somebody, and when you cut to yourself, try not to have your script off to the side as it can be pretty noticeable. But seriously, interesting topic and solid editing!
expand the season to 92 games
😂 I hear that Sonic stage music playing 👍
Bring back a franchise to Vancouver
been there done that
(no 2nd chances)
it's only FAIR that locations who NEVER had an NBA team, finally get one
Adding more teams would be good for high paying players with the new cba. More guys wouldn’t have to take pay cuts and they could also get more opportunity. Plus there would be less super teams. Not to mention I would just be excited to see what kind of names they come up with.
ST. LOUIS NEEDS AN NBA TEAM
Yes they do and may do so over KC
great vid bro 👌
Also rather than expanding to further into Mexico City, the NBA should create a Mexican division of the G-League that could eventually splinter off to become its own league or merge with the existing Mexican League. you could have a 5 team division with another team in Mexico City, and teams in larger cities like Monterrey, Guadalajara and Puebla.
give it to seattle already, but they probably give it to las vegas again... because money
My suggestion is to bring back the Seattle Supersonic & make a team in Vegas, you add them to the western conference and move Memphis and New Orleans to the east. Honestly this helps move Ja Morant and Zion Williamson to the eastern conference and bolster the conference with top talent. Imagine Ja Morants Grizzlies vs Jason Tatums Celtics in the ECF or a Pelicans vs 76er round 2
You only have to move 1 team to the East if you add 2 to the west and Minnesota makes a lot more sense to move than Memphis or New Orleans
0:34 would love to see a modern player shoot a free throw like that and what the hell why we at it let's use a peach basket with a ladder next to it to get the ball
