On this day back in 1979, the Seattle SuperSonics won the NBA Finals, defeating the Washington Bullets in five games after losing to the Bullets in the previous year’s finals. It represents one of three major sport titles in Seattle history, the others being the 1917 Stanley Cup (captured by the Seattle Metropolitans, the first American team to do so) and the Seahawks’ recent Super Bowl win. Dennis Johnson won Finals MVP.
Here’s hoping Seattle gets another NBA Championship.

Young Argentine Pablo Rossi is a potential signing for the Sounders’ new squad, S2. Here’s a stunning free kick he scored in a recent friendly against the University of Portland.
