Description

With a "This is Lenny's Country" banner in the background, Lenny Wilkens of the Cleveland Cavaliers (19) guards Fred Brown of the Seattle SuperSonics during a game at the Seattle Center Coliseum during the 1970s after the two were teammates on the SuperSonics during the 1971-72 season. Wilkens was traded by the SuperSonics along with forward Barry Clemons to Cleveland for guard Butch Beard on August 23, 1972. Wilkens was a nine-time All-Star, had his No. 19 retired by the SuperSonics in 1979 and retired in 10756 as No. 2 on the NBA's all-time assist list. Wilkens is a three-time inductee into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame -- 1989 as a player, 1998 as a coach and 2010 as an assistant coach of the United States' 1992 Olympic team (aka the "Dream Team").
