Show Notes

The late 90's and early 2000's were an interesting time in Seattle. Just a few years removed from the 1996 Finals run, the Sonics underwent abrupt and significant changes. The 1999/2000 team was centered around Gary Payton – who had the best year of his career averaging 24ppg, 9apg, and 7rpg – and the supporting cast featured Vin Baker, Horace Grant, Rashard Lewis and this episode's guest, Jelani McCoy. Jelani recalls his best GP stories, his big bro Vin Baker, battling Utah in the playoffs, discusses what led to the eventual death of the Sonics and much more.
