Trail Blazers head coach Nate McMillan played for Seattle from 1986-1998 and coached the team from 2000-2005.

Brandon Roy and Martell Webster are both Seattle natives and played against each other in high school. Roy also went to college at the University of Washington.

Seattle point guard Luke Ridnour played his collegiate basketball at the University of Oregon.

The personal ties between these two teams even overshadow the close proximity of the two cities, making this game a surefire thriller.
