Unfortunately I would say no. Between the Chiefs, Royals and KU there really isn't much more room to spread this few number of fans.

I think Sporting is the perfect size for Kansas City. An NBA team would simply have been too big. 41 home games a year is more difficult to fill than one would think.

The casual KU fans would flock to a successful NBA team pretty quickly.

The people that don't care about the Chiefs and Royals because they suck would also flock to a successful NBA team.

Im not sure there are enough Non Chiefs and Royals sportsfans in KC to support a pro basketball team?

I do believe there are a lot Chiefs fans who are anti-NBA fans in KC if this board is any indication. Small sample size I know.....

Sporting News have become pretty successful, but im willing to bet that’s a different fan entirely than NBA fan.

OKC has been sort of unique. They were obviously an underserved market and starving for a Pro team. KC just isn’t in that boat.

There are quite a few Yankees/Steelers/KU fans that live in Johnson County that would love to hitch their wagon to a winning NBA team.

There are anti-NBA fans because you don't have a team. I met plenty of those people in OKC before the Hornets.

Contrary to popular belief, additional pro teams does not take away from other pro teams. Many times it actually drives the pro-sports culture in the city and more and more ppl join in on the fun. There is absolutely no way that KC would not support the Thunder if they were having the success they are having now. No city would. Kansas City has shown over and over again they will support a winner whoever it is. I mean they support Soccer in Kansas for god sakes.

That's just it. They weren't winners before arriving in OKC. OKC supported them before waiting until they made a conference championship.

Waiting until they make a conference championship, isn't support. It's band-wagon.

They only had one losing season in OKC, which was the inaugural season. I'm sure KC would have waited one year.

I'm not sure what your point is. If your saying the jury is still out on whether OKC will "support" the team after the KD and Westbrook years, then I agree. However, KD is only 23 years old.

OKC also supported the New Orleans Hornets, during Katrina and that's what got the NBA's attention.

The Thunder was the Seattle Super Sonics and they were hardly a contender in recent years.

When they drafted Durant the expectations instantly rose.

I'm still not sure what your point is. I was there during the Hornets years and attended many games. When you transition from Chris Paul to Kevin Durant, it's easy to stay excited about the NBA.

I don't get what your point is. They'd still have the same players they have now. It's not like they would have lost Durant or not gotten Westbrook and Harden if they would have came to KC.
