Good afternoon, 12s.
Here's a look at what's "out there" for today — Tuesday, November 15 — about your Seattle Seahawks:
Wilson Aims To Bring NBA, NHL Back To Seattle
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson announced yesterday he has partnered with the Sonics Arena Group as he hopes to bring the NBA and NHL back to the city of Seattle.
"There is no place like the Emerald City," Wilson said in a statement. "The positive impact sports has on our kids and many generations to come, and bringing different cultures and people together is what motivates and inspires me."
A statement from Chris Hansen on Monday read: "We couldn't be more thrilled that Russell is joining our partnership and continued efforts to bring the NBA and NHL back to Seattle."
On Tuesday, Wilson wrote an article about his aspirations for The Players' Tribune, citing childhood memories of playing NBA Jam and how his love of basketball came about. Here's a short clip from Wilson's story:
I became a SuperSonics fan by playing NBA Jam and watching them on SportsCenter and NBA Inside Stuff. I loved their name. I loved their colors. I loved Kemp and Payton, and then in later years, I loved watching Ray Allen swish corner threes with that perfect form.
Even though we lived in Virginia, I got a Sonics jersey one Christmas and I used to put it on and go play hoops out in front of the house, pretending I was Gary Payton. I'm not going to lie, though. Some days I'd put on my Bulls jersey and stick my tongue out and pretend I was MJ, too. I was flexible.
