Swedish Medical Center – Local man Michael Ridersen, 53, miraculously woke from a 12-year coma Monday morning feeling so alert that, upon learning it was June 2019, he needed to know immediately how the Seattle SuperSonics were doing.

“If you tell me we still haven’t won a championship in 40 years, I may have to throw a little fit,” Ridersen told his nurse. “With Ray Allen, how could we not?! Okay, okay, just tell me.”

Ridersen was left in suspense as the nurse left to visit another patient, but was soon able to ask family who had rushed to the hospital once hearing he’d come to.

When daughter Chelsea, 18, confirmed that Sonics still makes amazing Oreo milkshakes, Ridersen ominously turned his focus to son Sean, 21, who refused to make eye contact.

“Sean, how are the Sonics doing?” Ridersen asked slowly to no response as his wife, Sherry, rushed into the room to kiss him. “You’ll tell me how the Sonics are doing, right, honey?”

After a long, tense silence, Ridersen angrily shook his head.

“Well at least tell me who the fucking president is!”
