189: The Supreme God in a Unique Class (Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

Changing the mind of an old-school coach is an incredibly difficult task.

Lenny Wilkens entered the league in the '60s, began his dual role as player and coach in '69, and thus commenced his coaching career.

No one is more old-school than someone who started in the pro basketball scene in the '60s.

The only championship Lenny Wilkens won as a coach was in 1979.

However, the '78 and '79 Finals were very unremarkable because both years featured the SuperSonics vs. Bullets, an NBA Finals series without a superstar participating for two consecutive years—a rarity in NBA Finals history.

The only memorable thing about these finals was the terribly awful question a CBS reporter asked Wes Unseld, the FMVP and new car recipient from the Bullets, after the '78 finals: "Wes, can I borrow your new car to commit suicide in it?"

Besides this absurd interview, almost everything else about these two finals has been forgotten.
