Legendary Seattle Coach Lenny Wilkens Passes Away at 88—Uncover the Legacy That Changed Basketball Forever
He has coached more games than anyone in NBA history (2,487) and was voted the NBA Coach of the Year in 1994, when he took over the Atlanta Hawks and led them to a 57-win season.
Wilkens also was an assistant coach on the Dream Team, the legendarily stacked 1992 USA Olympic men’s basketball team that won Gold in Barcelona (and changed the face of basketball). Four years later, Wilkens took over as the head coach of USA Basketball for the Atlanta Olympics, leading a team that included Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, Grant Hill, Shaquille O’Neal, and others to gold.
