#88SSY Check-Ins: Detlef Schrempf, Seattle SuperSonics

By Charles Hamaker

Seattle, WA - The Seattle Sports Star of the Year Awards, hosted by the Seattle Sports Commission, are the place to be for all things Seattle sports and their accomplishments on and off the field of play. Whether that be professionally or collegiately, the awards show features the biggest athletes, media, and sports personality to grace the Pacific Northwest from the past, the present, and the future. Converge Media and Circling Seattle Sports were on site at the Westin Downtown Seattle to get the sights and sounds of the night, including six sit-downs with athletes from differing teams, and a separate sit down with a mascot. The second interview Charles conducted was with Seattle SuperSonics and University of Washington legend, Detlef Schrempf.

Schrempf is no newcomer to this event in particular, let alone sporting events in the Seattle area. The eighth overall pick that racked up an All-NBA Third team honor, three NBA All-Star nods the first European player ever to achieve this award, and two NBA Sixth man of the year awards can be found at different teams games or even in the community. All the while, the German born University of Washington alum continues to help keep the hope alive of the Emerald City getting an NBA team back on the court, with optimism and a demand for the league as opposed to simply hoping. Schrempf remains optimistic when it comes to the Sonics making their return to eventually share that Climate Pledge Arena court with the Seattle Storm.
