“SuperFly” brings Sonics fans all that was seen and overheard from his spot on the wall in Sonics land. Got an idea for Fly or a personal mission for the NBA’s most crafty PI? Send the pesky critter your questions or comments to .

Don’t call it a comeback … Fly was camped out on the Sonics new hardwood at the KJR Sports Fantasy Weekend when some guy flipped the lights and starting playing hoop. Thump, thump, thump. How’s that for a rude awakening? Turns out the early bird was none other than Sonics legend Slick Watts. The head-banded one showed up more than an hour early to brush up on his game before hanging out for the Supes open practice. Rumors are swirling that Watts may be coming down with a case of comeback-itis, but so far his phone has stayed on the hook.

SuperBilly … Kevin Calabro’s new booth buddy, color analyst Billy McKinney, showed up even the Fly on Halloween. Billy Mac got off the plane from Sac, found a telephone booth and flew to the office to show off his new knits. McKinney spent the day swooping the office restoring truth, justice and the American way.

WongBarryPeja … Local ad shop WongDoody may have found their next partners, that is, once their playing days are over. Fly hears that Sonics guard Brent Barry and Yugoslav import Predrag “Peja” Drobnjak were a hit at the filming of the team’s television commercials. The spots were filmed at a local Seattle gym with a monsoon swirling outside. Fly stuck to these tidbits:

The extras (crew cut and long pasty legs mandatory) in the ads are actually Sonics employees and interns. Some even earned speaking parts, but others bailed when they saw the short shorts they had to wear.

In the final scene of his spot with Rashard Lewis, Barry sticks his hiney out and asks if his short shorts make him look big. Barry jockeyed the ad guys to let him say “butt” in his ad, but to no avail. Kudos to Bones though – word on the street is the whole spot was his idea.

The shorts the players wear in the spots are actually old baseball pants that were cut and hemmed to fit the Sonics.

Sonics players huddled around a miniature television between takes to catch the Mariners-Indians game. That is, everyone except for Coach McMillan who took a nap in his car.

Shammond Williams ribbed Peja throughout the filming, accusing the big man of sounding like Arnold Schwarzenegger when delivering his lines. Peja had the last laugh though when he got the chance to discipline Shammond for not dribbling according to the “Basketball Fundamentals” instructions.

Pig skin … Any ideas that mocha mogul turned Sonics owner Howard Schultz wasn’t taking his team seriously are as dead as grunge rock . Schultz has spent hours on end at the Furtado Center to see how the team is coming along and made the trip to the season opener in Sac-town on Tuesday. Folks over at Starbucks are very aware of the chief’s dedication to the team – they recently put their heads and cash together to buy Schultz the “Ball Hog.” The Sonics art folks designed the pig for the Pigs on Parade fundraiser in Seattle. Fly uncovered specs for the design and found out that the pig is covered in real basketball skin. Now that’s “pig skin.” Get it? Come on, even Fly gets desperate sometimes.

Imposters … Some people just don’t get it: there is only one SuperFly. Fly spotted two yahoos who thought they could pass themselves as the one and only.
