One of Seattle's great broadcasters, Mike Gastineau (informally known as the Gasman) has been doing a series of interviews with memorable members of the Seattle Super Sonics. The Sonics, of course was Seattle's first major sports team in the modern era and the first of the then existing major pro sports teams in area to win a championship.
Seattle sports fans like me have been eagerly waiting for two things, the Mariners to end the longest streak of not going to the playoffs of any team in any professional sport and the return of the Seattle Super Sonics.
In the latest of a series of podcasts known as "Iconic Sonics", Gastineau conducts a particularly interesting and moving interview with former Sonic 7-footer James Donaldson. Donaldson, who was the center of the Washington State Cougars when I attended in the mid to late 70s, has been an outspoken mental health advocate.
In this podcast, maybe one of Gastineau's best, Donaldson takes listeners along on his basketball journey. You can hear it by clicking here.
