Remember that time Seattle was on the cusp of getting the Sonics back? We sure do …

Rest assured, would-be Sonics owner and hedge-fund wunderkind Chris Hansen remembers. And, with the holiday season approaching, he’s decided to take a moment to remind Seattle-area basketball fans that he’s still committed to the cause.

In a message posted to his sonicsarena.com website earlier today, Hansen writes:

As we close out 2014, I wanted to take a moment to thank all the amazing fans who have stood by us as we work to bring our Sonics back to the Emerald City. I also want you all to know that we remain just as committed to bringing NBA basketball back to Seattle as we were the day we first announced Sonics Arena.

From my family to yours, have a wonderful holiday season and a healthy New Year. Bring on 2015!
