5 NBA teams from the ’90s that deserve their own sports documentary

The Seattle SuperSonics

Because their uniforms were dope, because Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp were incredible and because the franchise is now defunct, the Seattle SuperSonics have become the peak representation of ’90s NBA nostalgia.

SonicsGate already covered the team’s relocation to Oklahoma City, but we don’t care about that as much; what we deserve to see is the most successful squad in franchise history, with “The Glove” and “Reign Man” leading the Sonics’ way to a franchise-best 64 wins in the 1995-96 season.

People don’t understand how good Payton and Kemp were in their heyday; Payton was a tremendous trash talker, flashy passer and brutally tough defender who is one of the few guards in NBA history to win Defensive Player of the Year. Anyone who heard him speak on The Last Dance knows he’s a fascinating, entertaining interviewee — especially uncensored.

Kemp provided hours of thrilling dunk footage in his prime, but he was also an extremely well-rounded player who was arguably the best one on the court during the 1996 NBA Finals against Jordan and the Bulls. Following that team’s rise and fall, along with supporting cast members like head coach George Karl, Detlef Schrempf, Nate McMillan, Hersey Hawkins and Sam Perkins, would make for a terrific viewing experience.
