The new NBA 2K18 video game lists Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, and Spencer Haywood as team members of Oklahoma City Thunder, not the Seattle SuperSonics.
The Sonics were sold to the Professional Basketball Club LLC in Oklahoma City for $350 million in 2006.
Although the name and Sonics’ team colors are still owned by Seattle, the agreement signed by former Mayor Greg Nickels allows the team’s history to follow them to Oklahoma City.
It also means the new video game is allowed to put people in Thunder jerseys, even if those people played for Seattle.
Forbes published a list of all the players on the all-time teams.
