Basketball makes the local news this week on two fronts. Victoria's Steve Nash, the NBA's most valuable player, returns to BC this week for Saturday's Steve Nash Charity Classic at Automobile Manufacturer Place. This page has always been annoyed at the local media's treatment of the Phoenix Suns' point guard. Nash is a thinking person's superstar, and he has a hell of a lot more important things to talk about than his haircut or whether he'd rather be playing soccer.
Also this week and just down the I-5, a group of Oklahoma City investors bought the Seattle Supersonics (plus the WNBA Seattle Storm) from Starbucks' Grande Barista Howard Schultz. It appears that after building new digs for Baseball's Mariners and the NFL's Seahawks, the Emerald City is a little tapped out on the bread and circusses front. With that knowledge, the OKC group has committed to nothing beyond a 12-month cup of coffee before taking the Sonics home with them. As a former Vancouver Grizzlies season ticket holder, this page advises Seattle basketball fans to just be thankful that new boss Clay Bennett won't be signing the national anthem before tip-off.
