The Seattle SuperSonics won the NBA championship in 1979, the team's first and only NBA title. A parade in honor of their victory was held in Seattle on June 4, 1979, attracting an estimated 300,000 spectators who lined the 16-block parade route.

This snapshot shows Sonics player Dennis Johnson riding in the parade and greeting fans. Johnson, who played with the Sonics from 1976 to 1980, won the Most Valuable Player award for the 1979 NBA championship, was selected as an NBA All-Star in 1979, and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010.
