I’m just an internet stranger but a couple of years ago I spoke to guy who is a heavy hitter in Vegas real estate and he told me once Vegas gets their basketball arena situation sorted out the NBA is going to expand to Vegas and Seattle.

As a Sonics fan I hope he’s right. As a realist I’ll see it when I believe it.

people always say that, but it doesn't hold water if we're honest.

Why?

Because when a 140lb MAN picks shit with a guy twice his size, to the point of putting hands on him, no one says, "oh you can't him that guy back, he's too small." Everyone says, "fuck was that little guy thinking? He's about to fuck around and find out. Gonna get what he's asking for!"

So... NO. Is not about size disparity. Its 100% about gendered social norms about when hitting is a "big deal" and when its apparently not.

I was at this game. Everyone on the lower levels couldn’t see shit because they brought in a bunch of bleachers and “VIP experience” things essentially blocking the view of a lot of people unless you are fortunate enough to get one of the seats court-side. I was advertised a court side seat and I could occasionally see the players heads. Awfully designed layout.
