You're not alone, brother. Seattle's only sports championship was the 1979 Sonics, which was really a team of non-egos led by Fred Brown controlling Dennis Johnson, with the perfect supporting cast and bruising big men.

I haven't watched a full NBA game since Jordan hung it up, and, even then, the differential officiating ticked me off.

They have some soul searching to do.

Funny that you should mention Jordan.
Magic, Bias, Jordan.
Unbelievable players...but...the reasons I don't watch could start with these three men.
Magic-dribbled so high, almost to his shoulder, should have been called for carrying the ball every time he came up court.
Bias-first guy to dunk, hold on to the rim, and spread his legs.
Jordan-Travelled every other time he touched the ball.

As great as they were, no one ever called their infractions.
Look what the game has become.
