Inside the Remarkable Legacy and Untold Stories of NBA Legend Lenny Wilkens, Who Passed Away at 88
“[King] believed in inclusion,” Wilkens told the crowd at a lecture series honoring MLK in 2018. “He wanted everyone to be included, and he wanted us to be the country that we are capable of being — the greatest on Earth.

But it can still get better.”
The Hawks traded a 30-year-old Wilkens to Seattle, where he was named player-coach in his second season and earned 1971 All-Star Game MVP honors in three appearances over four years on the Sonics.
