This Day In Sports 6-1: The Seattle Supersonics Win the NBA Championship (1979)

Once upon a time there was a NBA Team named the Seattle Supersonics. Famously, the ’79 Sonics were known as the only NBA Champions without active players without a Hall of Famer until Dennis Johnson was inducted in 2010. Led by DJ and Jack Sikma, the ’79 Sonics took out the defending Champs the Washington Bullets. Interestingly enough, this was a Finals rematch as the Sonics lost in seven the year before.

The next year Larry and Magic showed up, and Seattle fell to the Magic led Lakers in the Conference Finals. But they’ll always have 1979.
