You don't even have to be a Seattle Supersonic fan or a resident of Seattle to appreciate what happened last night at Key Arena.

The night began with a WNBA game between the Seattle Storm and the Phoenix Mercury and concluded with a Seattle Pro-Am game between Team Brand Black and Team Ballislife.  The game, which featured highlights from Crawford, Isaiah Thomas, Kelly Olynyk, Terrence Jones and Martell Webster was exciting as expected, but the real excitement was seeing all the Seattle legends in the building.

For the first time since 1997, there was The Glove and The Reign Man in Key Arena exchanging high fives the way they used to after a Sportscenter worthy lob.

There was the great Lenny Wilkens from the 1979 Champion Sonics sharing a laugh with the man who inspired Jamal Crawford to wear a headband in his early days: Donald "Slick" Watts!

There was Brandon Roy, one of the best Seattle high shool players ever, sitting with his kids and Spencer Hawes of Seattle Preparatory on the sideline.

There was Payton hugging his NBA Finals teammate Detlef Schrempf

There was the crowd chanting "SUPER SONICS" the way they did when Seattle used to win the division title year after year in the 90s.

“Overall, it really was what I envisioned,” Crawford said. “But it was still so different. Running onto the KeyArena court, it gives you goosebumps. They started playing the old Sonics music and I got chills.”

Just like the chills Crawford gives fans when he unleashes a move so cold it freezes a defender.

THE JAMAL CRAWFORD RULES

Jamal, who had 26 points and 12 assists in the game, did miss the potential game-winner but unofficially his team won the game.  With 5 minutes left in the game and his Brand Black team winning by 17, Crawford reset the score to 100-100 just so the crowd could see 5 more competitive minutes of basketball.  As awesome and unusual as this sounds, I've seen Crawford do similar things in the past at the Pro-Am to make sure nobody leaves the court and arena feeling cheated.

Last summer at the Pro-Am, down by 1 with 9 seconds left in regulation, the refs called a very questionable foul on an opposing team putting Jamal at the line for 3 freebies.  The call was so bad that Isaiah Thomas took off his shoes and jersey, exited the court and went to the locker room.  Crawford then calmly stepped to the line and hit a free throw before intentionally clanking two free throws so the game would be decided by the players in OT and not the refs in regulation. Thomas ran back on the court, finished racking up his 47 points and came away with the victory. And just like last night at Key Arena, Crawford lost the game but won by sharing his love for it.

It's a love for the game and the city that's shared by many and hopefully one day, the NBA will be able to reward the city the way Jamal has, and bring basketball back to Seattle.

Through out his life Isaiah Thomas would constantly hear people say how he wouldn't make it to the league because he was too small. Although he eventually got drafted to the league with the last pick in the 2011 NBA Draft many people believed he wouldn't be an effective player and last long in the league due to his size. Now, the shortest player in the NBA is about to enter his 3rd season in the league with his future looking as bright as ever after very impressive first 2 years in the league averaging 12.8 PPG (44.3% FG - 36.7% 3PT FG), with 4 APG and shooting 86.2% from the free throw line. At onyl 5'8" Isaiah Thomas is living proof that size doesn't matter and is a walking inspiration to many up and coming ballers all around the world. Footage is from the Jamal Crawford Pro Am aka the best pro am of the summer.

Check out the scouting report on Mayor McGinn on the court from Seattle Weekly.

Name: Mike McGinn

School(s): University of Washington; Williams College

Age: 53

Height: 5'11''

Weight: 230ish

Always goes left; no right hand...poor vertical jump, not because of limited physical ability, but out of principal; says things that fly require too much gas...calls moving screens and charges just because he enjoys the arguments that follow...believes a 0-9 skunking is actually a victory...disagrees with idea behind shirts and skins but agrees to strip down because it's "the will of the people"...not the most fun to play with, but dynamite organizer...when hurt and forced into role as coach, insists on 12-man rotation "so every voice in the community is heard"..talks often of his interest in making cuts, yet doesn't follow through...hates driving the lane; says it's "too crowded," "wasteful use of space."
