Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan announced on Sunday the naming of a city street to honor the legendary NBA start Lenny Wilkens.
Lenny Wilkens Way will be located near the new arena at Seattle Center.
“It’s hard to overstate the impact that Coach Wilkens has had on Seattle,” Mayor Durkan said about the former player, coach, and founder of the Lenny Wilkens Foundation.
A much-deserved honor for a Seattle sports legend!
As a player, coach, and the founder of @LWFoundation, it’s hard to overstate the impact that Coach Wilkens has had on Seattle. https://t.co/mWVD48RYUX
