Seattle didn’t just lose a basketball icon.
We lost a man who believed in people — on the court and in the community.
Thank you, Lenny Wilkens, for everything you gave this city. 💚💛
Today, #Sonics fans everywhere mourn the loss of Coach #LennyWilkens. We’re grateful for his leadership and mentorship, his philanthropy and philosophy, and of course, his singular and selfless style of play. Seattle #NBA Fans everywhere extend our heartfelt condolences to Lenny’s family, friends and loved ones. 💚💛
The NBA announced they are to conduct an “in-depth analysis of all the issues around expansion.”
That’s a step — and steps matter.
And when they look at Seattle, they’ll find everything they’re looking for.

After looking back on Lenny Wilkens' life and career, it's no wonder he will be honored with a statue outside Climate Pledge Arena, where his teams once ruled the NBA.

Tonight, of all nights, is a great night to remind ppl of how Seattle got robbed of its basketball team. The main culprits were spineless, gutless pansy politicians and an "owner" who shit all over a city that helped make him a billionaire.
Let the @Sonicsgate story be told all over again:
