@magickmanatl: Today we pay tribute to Lenny Wilkens — one of basketball’s greatest minds and most respected figures. Born in Brooklyn, he rose from humble beginnings to become an NBA Hall of Famer three times over — as a player, a coach, and as part of the 1992 Olympic ‘Dream Team.’ Over his career, he stacked up 1,332 coaching wins, led the Seattle SuperSonics to an NBA Championship in 1979, and guided legends across decades with calm authority and deep respect for the game. Atlanta will never forget his time as head coach of the Hawks in the ’90s, where he turned a solid roster into a playoff powerhouse and helped shape the city’s basketball identity. Beyond the stats, Lenny Wilkens stood for integrity, mentorship, and quiet excellence. A man who taught that greatness isn’t just in the trophies — it’s in how you carry yourself through every challenge. Rest well, Coach. Your name is written in the history books and in the hearts of those you inspired. #LennyWilkens #NBA #AtlantaHawks #RestInPower #basketballlegend
