Lenny Wilkens was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame three times: as a player, as a coach and with the 1992 United States Olympic Dream Team.
This legend began his professional run with the St. Louis Hawks where the ultra intelligent Point Guard would help his first professional team reach the NBA Finals. The Hawks couldn’t get there again, but that was no fault of Wilkens who was a five time All Star with St. Louis, including his final season with the team where he finished second in MVP voting.
WIlkens would continue to be a very productive player following a trade to the Seattle SuperSonics.
