Kansas City ‘Uninterested’ in the NBA

BY JUSTIN KENDALL

The Seattle SuperSonics will move to Oklahoma City if NBA commissioner David Stern and team owner Clay Bennett have their way. Stern gave the bleak diagnosis to the Emerald City during his annual all-star-weekend news conference. Stern also talked about expanding the league to Europe, promoting the idea of NBA-ready arenas in London and other cities, according to the Associated Press.

What about Kansas City, where the Sprint Center is still without a home team?

CBS Sportsline columnist Ray Ratto summed upKansas City’s interest in the NBA this way: “uninterested.”

I called AEG spokesman Michael Roth Tuesday morning to see if Kansas Citians are apathetic about getting a NBA franchise. AEG is supposed to be finding a pro hockey or basketball team to play in the Sprint Center. Roth hasn’t returned my call.
