If nothing else resonates with people of this generation in this area, the beginning where Sabzi and Geo are outside of MOHAI discussing the '79 championship trophy should. The fact that it is owned by Clay Bennett who won't let them film it for a rap video even though he doesn't lay any claim to it now that he has moved my (o.k. our) team to OKC is insulting to put it far too mildly. When Sabzi pulls the mini-trophy out of his pocket and the song begins I feel it expresses very eloquently the way we have been left to our own devices. We as a community were discarded by a entire league (save 2 teams, thanks Mr. Cuban, and Mr. Allen) and 41 years of our history and culture as sports fans was disregarded. Is the Sonics leaving an example of true human suffering, of course not, but it is a insult to our community and this sums up a lot of the spirit and feelings of the Seattle sports fan. And let me tell you, as a life long Seattle sports fan... it has occasionally felt like real human suffering.
