Gary Washburn on Seattle hoops scene, Boston Celtics ties
There’s a robust connection between the colourful Seattle, Washington hoops scene and the storied franchise that’s the Boston Celtics, with Bill Russell having coached the Seattle SuperSonics and a bunch of gamers who performed for that membership or got here from that scene littering the annals of Celtics historical past.
Gamers like Dennis Johnson and Ray Allen who have been traded to Boston and received championships with the Celtics, or others who hail from the Pacific Northwest like Avery Bradley, Jason Terry, and Isaiah Thomas (simply to call a number of) have been a key a part of Boston lore over many many years now.
The Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn lined the Sonics earlier than coming to New England to cowl the Celtics and not too long ago sat down with SI’s Landon Buford to speak concerning the Seattle scene, its Boston ties, and a few basic Celtics chatter.
Check out the clip embedded above to listen to what Washburn needed to say.
