Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS ENCORE EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Bob Blackburn, Jr., son of legendary "Voice of the Sonics" Bob Blackburn. The NBA Board of Governors voted Wednesday, March 25, 2026 to “explore” expanding the league to Las Vegas and Seattle. Explore? Really? EX-PLORE?!?! The original Sonics left Seattle in 2008 and became the OKC Thunder. Anyhow, despite the NBA's goofy word choice, this seemed like the perfect occasion to revisit one of our most popular shows ever: when we marked the centenary of the late Bob Blackburn back in October 2024 with help from his son. The elder Blackburn was born in California on October 14, 1924, and became one of the most beloved broadcasters in Pacific Northwest history. Bob, Jr. shared memories on the eve of what would have been his father's 100th birthday, and played highlights from a treasure trove of vintage audio from his father's broadcasts of Portland Buckaroos hockey, Portland Beavers baseball, OSU football and, of course, the Seattle Supersonics (including a postgame interview from 1971 with Wilt Chamberlain). This LIVE broadcast of CASCADE OF HISTORY was originally presented at 8pm Pacific Daylight Time on Sunday, October 13, 2024 via SPACE 101.1 FM and streaming live via www.space101fm.org from studios at historic Magnuson Park – located in the former Master-at-Arms' quarters in the Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle. CASCADE OF HISTORY is broadcast LIVE most Sunday nights at 8pm Pacific Time.

Headlines and HUGH MILLEN If Hugh could only have one… a great wide receiver or a great right tackle? Is JSN worth the contract the Seahawks just gave him? What is it that sets him apart? The Seahawks ended up beating the Jaguars offer for Bobo, what does it mean for them to keep him here in Seattle? Next up, they'll have to pay Witherspoon; how will these big contracts affect what happens with Darnold next year? :30- We are just TWO DAYS away from the start of the 2026 Mariners season! The rotation is out; how do we feel about it? Does the order really matter though? There's a legitimate debate that any one of these guys could be #1. :45- The NBA Board of Governors meets starting today and we could find out this afternoon if the 1st vote for NBA expansion is approved, but it seems that most people (not everyone) feel that this is a formality and Adam Silver wouldn't be putting this out there if he didn't have the votes. The next step will be the tougher part, but even that has a lot of people optimistic about the Sonics return. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Next up, it's Devon Witherspoon and we hope they get that done early too! :45- It's potentially a big week- we could find out about the first NBA Vote on expansion as early as tomorrow as the NBA Board of Governors hold their meeting in NY tomorrow and Wednesday.

Happy St Patrick's Day!! Yesterday the news came out that the NBA Board of Governors will have their first vote on expansion to Seattle and Vegas at their meetings next week. It's the first step towards the NBA returning to Seattle, a move in the right direction. There are still mixed emotions though as some think it's all, but a done deal and others are taking more of a wait and see approach and both are understandable given what's transpired (and what hasn't) in the last 18 years. Should we allow ourselves to believe the Sonics are back? :30- The WBC Gold Medal match is tonight as the US faces Venezuela! USA! USA! USA! :45- It's bracket time, so we take a look at the South region and who might emerge from this one. Is this the easiest one to predict?
Headlines and MIKE VORKUNOV (The Athletic) Mike joins the show to discuss the possibility of NBA expansion as the NBA Board of Governors is set to meet next week and cast a first vote. What would Mike say to Seattle fans who have felt repeatedly snubbed by the NBA now that it seems some progress is being made? Where does he see the pricetag threshold for these two new possible franchises? Why should the NBA return to Seattle and will it draw enough in expansion fees to offset the revenue sharing? Is there enough talent in the NBA to handle expansion? What about the actual process of expansion, how will that work? :30- We are down to single digits people- only 9 days til Opening Day! Cal has a chance to win the WBC gold medal tonight with team USA and while he's probably been enjoying it, it could have gone better. Is there a part of him that will be excited to have it all be over? :45- The Seahawks brought in a defensive back on the cheap… does that make the Seahawks even scarier? Is Mike MacDonald able to turn average players into starters because of his defensive genius i.e. Ty Okada? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Go to www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Rich Gotham is the President of the Boston Celtics. He is responsible for all aspects of the Celtics' business operations. In addition, he works closely with Celtics ownership, basketball operations staff, and the NBA on basketball-related matters, as well as team and league initiatives. He succeeds “Red” Auerbach as Celtics team President and serves on the NBA Board of Governors. Since joining the Celtics in 2003, he's helped grow team revenues by over 300%, and they've won two NBA championships. Notes: Must-haves when making hiring decisions for a leadership role: Work ethic, self-awareness, a catalyst for positive energy, purpose-driven, and care ("give a shit"). At the time, the Celtics were run like a mom-and-pop shop. Rich was brought in to help them run like a professional business. Rich was recruited to the Celtics by new owner (at the time), Wyc Grousbeck. 3 different people told Wyc that he should talk to Rich. – Add value. Leave people better than you found them. They will refer you to others for big jobs without you even knowing it. Celtic pride - grew up there, made you proud to be from Boston. "Different here." 18-time champs. Pressure from fans to win: It beats indifference. Making bets on potential - Hiring Brad Stevens. Danny Ainge did a great job selling it to Brad. Watching Payton Pritchard warm up. He cares. Working with the Bruins and Red Sox leaders – Lower the ego, put yourself in their shoes. Seek first to understand. And find a way to get it done. Rich went outside of the office to meet regularly with a leader of the Boston Bruins to get their lease squared away. That had been an issue for decades, and he helped get it figured out so both sides could win. Advice - You have to have self-belief, believe in your ability. Don't let that get chipped away. Why should they pick you? Be vulnerable. Leave others better than you found them.

The Boston Celtics reached a sale price of over six billion dollars, marking a historic moment in sports. Bill Chisholm, managing partner at Symphony Technology Group, agreed to purchase the team for $6.1 billion, pending NBA Board of Governors approval. This sale exceeds the previous record of $6.05 billion set by the Washington Commanders in 2023 and the NBA record of $4 billion established by the Phoenix Suns. Chisholm, a Massachusetts native with a net worth of approximately $10 billion, brings extensive knowledge of the franchise. If the sale occurs, the Grousbeck family, current majority owners, could realize an estimated return on investment of around 1,700%.
