The Seattle SuperSonics (or simply Sonics) are an American professional
basketball team based in Seattle, Washington. They play in the National
Basketball Association (NBA). Their mascot’s name is Squatch. Of the
three current major professional sports teams in Seattle—the Seattle
Mariners, the Seattle Seahawks, and the Sonics—the Sonics are the only
one to have won a championship (1979). (The Sonics’ sister team, the
WNBA’s Seattle Storm also won one in 2004, and the Seattle Metropolitans
became the first U.S. team to win the Stanley Cup in 1917).
The team has been owned by Sam Schulman (1967–1983), Barry Ackerley
(1983–2001), the Basketball Group of Seattle headed by Howard Schultz
(the chairman of Starbucks Coffee, 2001–2006) and, currently, Oklahoma
City businessman Clay Bennett.
On December 20, 1966, Los Angeles businessmen Sam Schulman and Eugene V.
Klein and a group of minority partners were awarded the NBA franchise
for the city of Seattle. Schulman would serve as the active partner and
head of team operations. Named the SuperSonics after Boeing’s recently
awarded contract for the SST project (later cancelled), they were
Seattle’s first professional sports franchise. Beginning play in October
of 1967, the SuperSonics were coached by Al Bianchi and featured
All-Star guard Walt Hazzard and All-Rookie Team members Bob Rule and Al
Tucker. The expansion team stumbled to a 23–59 record, and Hazzard was
traded to the Atlanta Hawks before the start of the next season for
future Hall-of-Famer Lenny Wilkens. Wilkens brought a strong all-around
game to the SuperSonics, averaging 22.4 points per game, 8.2 assists per
game, and 6.2 rebounds per game for Seattle in the 1968–69 season. Rule,
meanwhile, improved on his rookie statistics with 24.0 points per game
and 11.5 rebounds per game. The SuperSonics, however, only won 30 games
and Bianchi was replaced by Wilkens as player/coach during the off-season.
