Great work by Kevin Pelton of ESPN and Percy Allen of the Seattle Times in covering the unveiling of a statue honoring the legendary Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Coach and Player, and former President of the NBA Coaches Association, Lenny Wilkens outside of Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle.
As Coach Wilkens reflected on the honor, he remarked on a lesson he learned from Jackie Robinson – the importance of helping others and making a difference in the community, especially the children. See how fellow colleagues praise Coach Wilkens for his commitment both on and off the court and for what it means to set the standard to be a SuperSonic.
Keep up the great work Coach!
