Former NBA player Ray Allen was in Seattle recently and was feeling pretty nostalgic.

Allen played in Seattle for the SuperSonics from 2003-07, before the franchise was relocated to Oklahoma City. The shooting guard played for Milwaukee first, and won NBA Championships in Boston and Miami after his days in Seattle, but that doesn't mean he's forgotten all the great memories there.

In fact, Allen took to Instagram on Wednesday in an attempt to rally the people to bring the Sonics back to Seattle:

Seattle has grown so much since I was last here. What a great city! I had some great memories not too far away from the #spaceneedle. I still can't believe that there is no basketball in Seattle!! This city is too great not to have a hoops squad. Come on everybody we need to rally and bring the NBA back to Seattle. let's make this happen people!!! The NBA misses traveling to Seattle, I know I certainly do!!!!! #bringbackoursonics #keyarena #seattlecenter

We are 100% with Allen on this one. The NBA needs to return to Seattle. And on top of that, they also need to be called the SuperSonics and wear these retro jerseys as their main uniforms.
