The first German star of the National Basketball Association, Detlef Schrempf was already an All-Star (with Indiana) when he came to Seattle but it was in the state of Washington where he would become a national star.  Schrempf was a part of the Sonics' push to the 1996 Finals and would make two more All-Star Games while playing for Seattle.  Schrempf would post his best scoring season with 19.2 PPG (1994-95) as a Sonic.
