Why do you hate Russ Schoene?
-
Shawn KempAlways liked Sam Perkins and his physics-defying but strangely accurate three-ball. Big men who could shoot from range were a lot rarer back then.
Also liked Kendall Gill because he was freaky athletic but had a complete game. -
Spencer HaywoodFreddie a very close second…
-
No love for Dale Ellis??
-
Gus WilliamsFreddie was my second as well… watching him invent the notion of “downtown” with real accuracy was really fun…
So many great players, too many to choose from, great franchise history ~ Howard Schultz goes down as the All time sports grinch in the history of Seattle Sports. -

Fuck anyone who had anything to do with that ownership group.

Gus WilliamsKids tied their laces around the heel to be like Gus
He was Gary Payton before GP. He scored. He defended. I hated it when he sat out and that was like the first taste of athletes sitting out.

Shawn KempLeast favorite: Wally Walker

Gary Payton
As I recall, he was never the same after he sat out the year.El_K said:Kids tied their laces around the heel to be like Gus

Gus Williams
He averaged 23, 18, and 20 the three years after the sit out. Then he went to the Bullets and averaged 23, 13, and then into single digits. He was done by his early 30’sDerekJohnson said:

Xavier McDanielI don't really have a clear cut favorite, but Xman kicked ass in the late 80s. Bill got into the Sonics when they beat the Mavs and Rockettes in the playoffs as a seven seed.

Shawn Kemp
Was told by someone in the know that Starbucks expanded way too rapidly while he owned the Sonics and that they were actually close to going under so he had to sell the team. That probably is public knowledge, but I'd never heard that.pawz said: -
Jack SikmaRod Derline, a close second.
-
Michael Cage!
Obviously, because he was the Jheri curl masta! -
Sedale Threatt
Alton Lister.
I liked those two guys. Threatt for the cool name and he was fairly slick. Lister was alright but I liked his commitment to blocking shots.

OtherI was always a Dana Barros, Sedale Threatt or Vinny Askew kinda guy.

I always thought Barros might rise up and become an All-Star but it never happenedtheknowledge said:I was always a Dana Barros, Sedale Threatt or Vinny Askew kinda guy.

Gus WilliamsSedale Threatt was good. And for as much shit Kemp gets for having 7 kids with six different women, Threatt has him beat. 14 kids, allegedly.
Askew was good as well. Knew exactly what to bring to the table for Karl.
Barros stay was too short before he was shipped off -
Gary Payton
