Arrr, mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn of the late, great Donald "Slick" Watts, who departed this earthly realm at the ripe age of 73, like a ship lost to the stormy seas!This scallywag rose from the depths of obscurity, undrafted in the year of our Lord 1973, to become a beloved buccaneer of the Seattle SuperSonics! With a grin broader than a treasure map and a bald noggin shining like doubloons, he dazzled the league, leadin’ in steals and assists, makin’ him a true legend of the court!
Alas, the winds of fate turned against him after a stroke in 2021, but not before he cast his spell on the Seattle fans and taught the next generation of scallywags, including his own son and grandson, the ways of the game!
His son, Donald, shared the sorrowful tidings on the social seas, callin’ him “pops” and expressin’ the honor of bein’ his kin. Even the Seattle Storm lamented the loss of their cherished icon, for Slick was not just a player but a true champion of the community!
So, raise a tankard of grog for Slick Watts, a swashbuckler who ruled the courts and hearts of many! May he rest in the grandest paradise o’ the great beyond! Arrr!
