Nate Mcmillan Court To Be Unveiled

Nate McMillan will have a court to call his own.

The Ackerley Group, which owns the Sonics, and Nike will unveil "Nate McMillan Court" at Republican and Fifth Avenue during a ceremony at 1:30 p.m. today.

The court's surface is the result of Nike's Reuse-A-Shoe program, which uses materials from used and defective shoes.

"I think any time you are given something, a park, or your jersey is put up in the rafters, or banners are raised in honor of you or a team, it's always appreciated," McMillan said. "So it's good to be appreciated by the city and the Sonics."

Barry Ackerley and his wife, Ginger, the co-chair of the Ackerley Group, McMillan, Coach George Karl and some Sonic players are expected to speak at the event.
