0:00.0	When you hear the word Seattle Supersonics, what comes to mind?
0:05.0	Maybe it's Sean Kemp, The Rain Man, or Gary Payton, the glove, or maybe an image of a tall and skinny 19-year-old rookie, Kevin Durant.
0:14.0	For fans in Seattle, it's something else. It's tragedy, it's theft, an iconic team with an incredible fan base that packed its bags and shipped off for Oklahoma City.
0:24.7	From Spotify and The Ringer, I'm Jordan Ritter-Con.
0:27.6	And in my podcast, Sonic Boom, I talk to players, politicians, owners, and fans about how Seattle lost the Sonics.

1:40.0	maybe fill out our brackets, get some knowledge before we settle in to watch like 50 hours of college basketball over the next four days.
1:48.4	That's right. I have pre-prepared comps for all of the playoff teams, all the teams that made the playoffs in the NFL.
