Clay Bennett was still an imposing brute of a man.
He had the typical image of an American father from the 1980s who supported the whole family by himself; wearing a thousand-dollar Armani suit, he seemed as out of place as Huang Bo being chased by a beauty in a TV drama.
Today was a big day for the Supersonics. The Boeing Aerospace Arena was put into use a year ahead of schedule, releasing them from Key Arena—a new chapter for them.
If today's opponent had not been the Clippers, Bennett might have gotten some cheers.
But the visit of the Clippers awakened the Seattleites' memories of Bennett forcing the GOAT to leave.
Thus, Bennett received the greatest humiliation a team owner could endure.
On the most important day for the Supersonics in years, the Boeing Aerospace Arena, as the "posthumous child" of the former Supersonic empire, appeared before the world, and everyone in the organization hoped today would be joyful.
