I Just got home flip-ed on the tube and am watching the halftime show of the Sonics/trailblazers game. Spencer Haywood, the original #24 is being recognized and his # retired as it should be. He finished his Seattle career at the time I became a Seattle-lite, however I remember him as truly the 1st superstar Seattle has had. On a side note the next #24 that I really remember as I watched him help the Sonics win their NBA championship against the Washington Bullets back in 1979, is Dennis Johnson. Sadly he collapsed on a basketball court coaching last week. Truly a happy and sad note for tonight's game. You will both be missed. As we embark on a battle to keep the Sonics in Seattle, I really hope we can do just that. Photos from the following:
