Just saw this on the news. RIP, Gus. What a back court he was part of with DJ and Downtown. Great memories.

Absolutely.

Rest in Peace, brother.

Part of the greatest Sonics team of all time, one of the greatest NBA backcourt: Gus Williams, Dennis Johnson and Fred Brown.

RIP Wizard. I hate that we’re losing Sonics legends before they get a chance to see the team come back. If it ever even happens at all.
