Gus Williams, point guard for a Super Sonics team that etched itself into the conscience of Seattle by winning the NBA Championship in 1979 has died. He was 71.
A second round pick by the Golden State Warriors out of USC, Williams earned the name "The Wizard" for his ballhandling and athleticism.
He signed as a free agent with the Sonics before the 1977-78 season.
Williams was selected twice to play in the NBA All Star game. He was also selected to 1982 All NBA First Team.
Williams had suffered a stroke in 2020.
