The NBA superstar was drafted 2nd overall out of Texas by the Supersonics in 2007. Given his less-than-cryptic tweet and an oft-demonstrated willingness to switch teams, itt is not unreasonable to expect to see KD back in the gold and green next year. Durant, however, is not the only superstar athlete to announce their intentions of playing for the Sonics in 2024.
Mariners star outfielder Julio Rodriguez and Seahawks star wide receiver DK Metcalf both able to live out my dream of playing until I am 50. I saw Jarred Kelenic take a round of batting practice, this confirmed to me that I am more than qualified to re turn to the sport I love, ” Ichiro stated at his in troductory press conference in Osaka, Japan.
Ichiro played nine years for Orix at the start of his ca- reer, back when the team was called the Orix Blue Wave. Ichiro’s return to his original team has fans going wild.

Nintendo announced that they are releasing a game titled “Ichiro” in honor of Ichiro’s return. The game is similar to a game of Wii baseball, except all characters are named Ichiro and they all edented return has fans across the world talking. One of the greatest players to ever play the game, returning back to his home country. The only thing that remains to be seen is if Ichiro will break Satchel Paige’s record and play until he’s 60.
Sounders sign Messi:
The Argentinian soccer legend, who famously won the World Cup in November has been heavily linked to the Seattle Sounders. Messi officially rejected a continued $10 million euro a week salary from Paris Saint-Germain for the 2024 season. The Sounders will look to link up homegrown Jordan Morris and Messi in a dynamic attacking duo. The disappointing taste left in fans’ mouths last season should be quickly erased, the Sounders figure to have the most prolific offense in MLS history. Anything less than a title would be disappointing. Lumen Field is guaranteed to be sold out for years to come.
