Sonics Legends Fund

Sonics Legends Fund The official page of the Sonics Legends Fund.

Our fund was created to assist former Sonics players in need of financial assistance, connecting them with caring support and critical resources like medical care and housing. Sonics’ legends currently receiving funding include Gus Williams, a star member of the Sonics 1979 NBA Championship team, and Slick Watts, the ever-popular guard whose trademark headband still resonates today among long-time

SuperSonics fans. If you are a former Sonics player and would like to privately find out if you qualify for assistance, please visit our website.

For 41 seasons, the Seattle SuperSonics gave us unforgettable moments on the court. Some of us remember the 1979 championship parade, the electric GP-to-Shawn Kemp alley-oops, or watching a 19-year-old Kevin Durant light up Key Arena.️

Beyond the hardwood, our Sonics were true community heroes. From Read to Achieve programs and youth basketball camps to players showing up at local schools, the bond between Seattle and its team runs deep.

As we look forward to the team’s return with absolute positivity, we’re proud to keep highlighting the legends who gave their all for our city. 💚💛

Let’s celebrate all our Sonics birthdays for the month of June! 💚💛

Still thinking about that Saturday. 💛

A legacy in the rafters, legends in the building, and proof Seattle hoops never left — it keeps growing.

The Sonics Legends Fund and the NBA Players Legacy Fund were prepared to work together to assist with costs involved in Gus Williams’ funeral.

The Sonics Legends Fund has helped cover some of the health care expenses not covered by insurance for the past couple years following his stroke in 2020.

Gus was one of the greatest Sonics and a hero on the 1979 NBA Championship team. We are honored to have helped him.
