Gary Washburn on Seattle hoops scene, Boston Celtics ties

There is a strong connection between the vibrant Seattle, Washington hoops scene and the storied franchise that is the Boston Celtics, with Bill Russell having coached the Seattle SuperSonics and a host of players who played for that club or came from that scene littering the annals of Celtics history.

Players like Dennis Johnson and Ray Allen who were traded to Boston and won championships with the Celtics, or others who hail from the Pacific Northwest like Avery Bradley, Jason Terry, and Isaiah Thomas (just to name a few) have been a key part of Boston lore over many decades now.

The Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn covered the Sonics before coming to New England to cover the Celtics and recently sat down with SI’s Landon Buford to talk about the Seattle scene, its Boston ties, and some general Celtics chatter.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what Washburn had to say.
