Seattle Seahawks superstar quarterback Russell Wilson is a hero on the football field, and now he’s trying to be the hero Seattle needs to get an NBA team back.
Wilson has feverishly tweeted out his support of the NBA bringing a team back to Seattle after the Sonics left and became the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has even gone as far as saying he will begin a petition to gain support for the movement. (SLIDESHOW: These Gorgeous Women Love Baseball)
Baffling this amazing city doesn’t have the #SuperSonics Bring them back! Seattle Loves Basketball!
Seattle deserves a @NBA team

The former Wisconsin star’s heroics have already won the Seahawks one Super Bowl and an appearance in another one. Hopefully his star power is enough to get an NBA team back to Seattle. (SLIDESHOW: This Gorgeous Olympian Loves To Show Off Lots Of Skin)
