Don't know if this has ever been discussed, but a few years after the show ended...
A carpetbagger named Clay Bennett bought the Seattle SuperSonics from Howard Schultz (founder of Starbucks). Bennett later took the Sonics to Oklahoma City in the dirtiest geographical move in the history of North American sports. The team is now the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Seattle SuperSonics now no longer exist.
This renders the episodes "Head Game" and "Hooping Cranes" quite obsolete to future generations, along with any references to team in places such as the limo scene of "Can't Buy Me Love."
Weird observation.
