Podcasts about Seattle SuperSonics

On September 25, 1997, one of the most shocking trades in NBA history included Seattle SuperSonics legend Shawn Kemp, traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers, and rising star Vin Baker going to the Pacific Northwest. More than two decades later, these two former All-Stars sat down together for the first time to reflect on that pivotal moment in their careers. In this exclusive episode, recorded live from Seattle's Edgewater Hotel in February 2025, Kemp and Baker talk about the day of the trade, what it felt like to be swapped for one another and how their careers unfolded in the years since. They share behind-the-scenes stories about going head-to-head on the court, their experiences playing in front of the passionate Seattle crowd, and how the trade shaped their legacies. The conversation also dives deep into their personal journeys, including battles with addiction, the path to recovery, and life after basketball. They talk about what they're up to now, including Vin's work with the Milwaukee Bucks and the Recovery Centers he's opening—starting in Wisconsin—to support others on their own healing journeys. Special thanks to The Edgewater Hotel for hosting us, and to the Swinomish Casino and Lodge for sponsoring this conversation. This episode was co-produced with our friends at Converge Media. And of course, thank you to Seattle NBA Fans, our additional partners and the entire Seattle hoops community for riding together with us as we continue this journey toward the eventual return of the NBA to the Emerald City.

VOLTAMOS DAS FÉRIAS! Nesta semana, Denis Botana e Danilo Silvestre chegam no modo gincana para fazer um Draft de Expansão. Sabe quando a NBA ganha times novos e é preciso recheá-los de jogadores? É assim que se faz. A última vez que a NBA teve um Draft de Expansão foi em 2004, para o Charlotte Bobcats (hoje Hornets). Na ocasião cada um dos outros 29 times da NBA "protegeu" oito dos seus jogadores e o Bobcats pode montar seu elenco pegando no máximo um jogador de cada rival. No nosso caso a NBA está recebendo DOIS TIMES. O Denis irá controlar o Seattle SuperSonics, e o Danilo montará o Las Vegas Hangovers, afinal é bem provável que essas cidades sejam realmente as próximas a receberem novas franquias da NBA. Quem será que monta o melhor time? Infelizmente não teremos odds na KTO para esse duelo. A lista dos jogadores protegidos foi feita pelo Vitor Camargo. Você deve conhecer o trabalho dele no podcast Na Era do Garrafão, no livro Era de Gigantes, sobre a história da NBA, ou por ele ter feito o mesmo trabalho nas outras duas versões que fizemos do Draft de Expansão, em 2017 e 2020.

What an honor to have with us this week, on the Rick Flynn Presents podcast, professional basketball star Dean Tolson a power forward and #20 for the Seattle Supersonics (Ret.). Dean Tolson was one of the top prep basketball players in the state of Missouri his junior and senior years at Central High School in Kansas City. So, when the colleges came running, he accepted a full ride to the University of Arkansas. Despite being unable to read or write, he went on to be one of the most prolific players to grace the Razorbacks' campus. In 1974, Tolson was the first basketball player to be drafted by both the NBA and the ABA, having been selected by the Seattle Supersonics and the New York Nets, respectively, ultimately playing for the legendary Bill Russell in Seattle. Following his basketball career, Tolson made the courageous decision to re-enroll at the University of Arkansas, and repeated all four years, this time legitimately. At the age of fifty-two, he returned to the university for three more years, earning a master's degree and graduated magna cum laude. Tolson's gripping story from his childhood in an orphanage to his academic achievements is not only an indictment of a system that would just “pass you along” from grade to grade as a hot basketball prospect without any educational accountability, but also an inspiring story of overcoming great odds to find success. This an amazing book and is available on all outlets including Dean's website: www.DeanTolson.com. Fan mail and correspondence for Dean address below.

Feliks Banel presents on this live broadcast of CASCADE OF HISTORY highlights from "BLAZERMANIA," an LP produced in 1977 to celebrate the Portland Trailblazers' NBA World Championship and narrated by legendary broadcaster Bill Schonely. Also, we speak by phone with Wally Walker, whose rookie season was with the Trailblazers in that championship season, and who joined the Seattle Supersonics in autumn 1977 and was part of that year's playoff run and 1978's championship season. This LIVE broadcast of CASCADE OF HISTORY was originally presented at 8pm Pacific Daylight Time on Sunday, May 26, 2024 via SPACE 101.1 FM and streaming live via space101fm.org from studios at historic Magnuson Park – formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.

This week, we find out about a seemingly mild mannered, and upstanding NBA 3 point specialist. He was raised with military precision, and won't allow his emotions to overtake him. Even when he's 9, and his father dies. He does let his emotions take over, at least a couple times, when he's arrested for hitting his wife, in addition to being one of the worst drivers that has ever gotten behind the wheel. Plus, his middle name is one for the books!!Don't shed a tear, as a 9 year old, with a dead dad, tell people that you'e better than Michael Jordan, in the late 80s, and drive your car across several lanes of freeway, while insisting you're not drunk with Dale Ellis!!Check us out, every Tuesday!We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!

During the late 1960s, Dean Tolson ("Power Forward: My Journey from Illiterate NBA Player to a Magna Cum Laude Master's Degree") emerged as a standout prep basketball talent during his junior and senior years at Central High School in Kansas City, Missouri. His prowess on the court attracted the attention of a bevy of college recruiters, leading him to accept a full scholarship offer from the nearby University of Arkansas. Despite literally not knowing how to read or write, Tolson defied significant odds, and became one of the most renowned players in Razorbacks history. In 1974, Tolson was drafted by both the NBA's Seattle Supersonics and the ABA's New York Nets - eventually joining the Sonics to play under the tutelage of the legendary Bill Russell in Seattle, and showcasing his talent on a national stage.  An 11-year journeyman career followed, with stops in the Eastern Basketball Association (Hazleton Bullets), the CBA (including a 1980 league championship with the Anchorage Northern Knights), and pro leagues in both Greece and the Philippines. After retiring from basketball, Tolson made the courageous decision to re-enroll at the University of Arkansas, determined to pursue his education authentically - repeating all four years of college and finally obtaining his degree through legitimate means. Remarkably, he returned to the university once again at age 52, earning a master's degree with magna cum laude honors. Tolson's journey, from his challenging upbringing in an orphanage to his remarkable academic achievements, serves as a powerful indictment of a system that often prioritizes athletic talent over educational accountability. His story sheds light on the pervasive issue of athletes being "passed along" without facing the academic rigor expected of their peers. Yet, amidst these challenges, Tolson's story is a beacon of inspiration - showcasing resilience and determination to overcome formidable odds to (eventually) achieve success.  + + +   SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable "Good Seats" Merch: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY   SPONSOR THANKS: Old School Shirts.com (promo code: GOODSEATS) https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats Royal Retros (promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2   BUY/READ EARLY & OFTEN: Power Forward: My Journey from Illiterate NBA Player to a Magna Cum Laude Master's Degree (2023): https://amzn.to/4btrTJ7   FIND & FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable

We touch again on the situation with Mike Macdonald taking down pictures of the SB team inside the facility.

Dean Tolson was an unbelievably talented athlete. The man could jump out of the gym, and couldn't be stopped on the basketball court. He came from a poverty stricken area, and his mother who worked tirelessly to help the kids, had to make some very difficult decisions in her life when Dean and his siblings were younger. (You'll hear this in the interview) All of this helped build him into the man he became. The one problem with his recruiting process, were his grades!  Dean struggled in school. And we'll hear about his college experience on how he was able to remain academically eligible to play in College until he was drafted in the NBA. Dean was truly illiterate and struggled to read and write. This came back to hinder him as he got older. We'll hear about his NBA experience and what it was like playing at that level, and the differences between the NBA then and the NBA now. What was it like playing for Bill Russell who drafted Dean to the Seattle Supersonics? We get to hear all the stories today.  Upon finishing his basketball career, Dean made a choice (thanks to his mother) to go back to college and actually take it seriously this time. He realized he needed an education and that he wouldn't make it far without one.  Not only did Dean end up going back and having success, he ended up getting his Masters Degree and graduating Magna Cum Laude!!  Now the best part about all of it is, Dean has written a book about his journey and all that he has overcome! He's sharing it with the world. It's called: "Power Forward: My Journey from Illiterate NBA Player to a Magna Cum Laude Master's Degree"  I would love for all of you to take a look at the book and purchase a copy today!
