Throughout this series we've talked about NBA teams from the 2020s, 2010s, 2000s, and 1990s, but we yet to talk about a team that now doesn't exist. Today we will be doing that as we take a look back at the 1996 Seattle Supersonics. The Sonics were led by their star duo of Gary Payton one of the best permitter defenders in NBA history and Shawn Kemp one of the best dunkers in NBA history. The 1996 Sonics won 64 games and advanced to the finals, but met the 72 win Chicago Bulls which are widely regarded as the best team in NBA history.
