Donald "Slick" Watts, a fan favorite for the SuperSonics and later a beloved teacher and coach in Seattle, has died. He was 73. Watts' son Donald, who played for Washington, announced his father's death Saturday on social media,

Watts was signed by coach Bill Russell to play for the Sonics in 1973 as an undrafted rookie. He was with Seattle for less than five years, but became a fixture known for his broad smile, bald head and crooked headbands. He led the league in steals in the 1975-76 season.

Seattle Sonics legend Slick Watts has died at the age of 73. "You did so much for so many of us," his son said Saturday.
