Yo NBA FANS: 41,000 members on the Bring Back The Supersonics group on Facebook. That’s bigger than 24 current NBA teams’ Facebook membership. And this all happened in a couple of weeks. And - in case you weren’t paying attention - the Sonics left Seattle for OKC like a year and a half ago. Now THAT is fanatical fan support!

GO SONICS!!!!! GO SONICS FANS!!!!!!!!!!!! BRING BACK THE SUPERSONICS!!!!!!!!

Even though we do not have a team, this is the most official group that the Seattle Supersonics have.

We are almost to 36,000! It has been a little over a week! Add us to the list! Update this story. I would be interested to see where we fall!

Here’s a list of NBA teams ranked by total U.S. Fans (TNS Research, ESPN Sports poll). Note that Lakers have by far and away the largest fan base, so it follows that the team’s social media following would be large. The Heat have a big fan base, but are not at the top of your list. They might be under-achieving on social. On the other hand, the Clippers are #11 on your list, but near the bottom of the league in total fans. Looks like they’re over achieving on social media.

Los Angeles Lakers (Los Angeles,CA)
Chicago Bulls (Chicago,IL)
Miami Heat (Miami,FL)
Boston Celtics (Boston,MA)
San Antonio Spurs (San Antonio,TX)
Detroit Pistons (Detroit,MI)
Cleveland Cavaliers (Cleveland,OH)
Phoenix Suns (Phoenix,AZ)
Dallas Mavericks (Dallas,TX)
New York Knicks (New York,NY)
Denver Nuggets (Denver,CO)
Philadelphia 76ers (Philadelphia,PA)
Indiana Pacers (Indianapolis,IN)
Sacramento Kings (Sacramento,CA)
Houston Rockets (Houston,TX)
Utah Jazz (Salt Lake City,UT)
Milwaukee Bucks (Milwaukee,WI)
Minnesota Timberwolves (Minneapolis,MN)
New Jersey Nets (DMA:New York) (STATE: NY)
Portland Trailblazers (Portland,OR)
Seattle Supersonics (Seattle,WA)
Golden State Warriors (Oakland,CA)
Orlando Magic (Orlando,FL)
Washington Wizards (District of Columbia, MD)
Atlanta Hawks (Atlanta,GA)
Charlotte Bobcats (Charlotte,NC)

As a Blazer fan, I can say that the Blazers should be higher up on that list when you consider the whole social media spectrum.

The Blazers were one of the first pro organizations to create a whole social network for their fans: iamatrailblazersfan.com.

They were also one of the first to have their broadcasters blog, Mike Barrett.

They also host a weekly podcast with local radio talent and fan blazer blogs.

In the second half of the season they began streaming their postgame show on ustream and during their media days they had the Blazer players talk to fans through ustream and answer questions.

Clearly the Trail Blazer organization knows the significance of a good social media presence.
