Welcome to the ‘Sonic Boom Video Extras.’ Each week, Jordan Ritter Conn will take you behind the scenes of The Ringer’s new podcast ‘Sonic Boom: How Seattle Lost Its Team.’ In Episode 1, we look back at the decade when the Sonics became one of the NBA’s most iconic franchises: the 1990s. We tell the story of how Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, and Detlef Schrempf became one of the toughest challengers to Michael Jordan and the Bulls’ dynasty. Plus, former Sonics coach George Karl explains how an off-the-court decision he made in 1996 may have cost the Sonics an NBA championship.
