Buzzer Thompson United Press International SEATTLE — David Thomp son’s reputation may have suf fered a bit in the last few years, but according to the Seattle Su- perSonics and San Antonio Spurs, he’s still a genuine super- star. Thompson sank a dramatic three-point shot at the buzzer to lift the Sonics to a 109-107 vic tory over the Spurs Wednesday night, handing San Antonio its first loss of the season and pushing Seattle to 4-0. “If I had a Buick, I’d give it to him,” Seattle coach Lenny Wil- kens said. “David is a great player.” Seattle center Jack Sikma said: “David hit an almost im possible shot. To sneak one away is a good feeling.” The Sonics blew a 20-point first half lead and found them selves trailing 107-106 with two seconds to play. Thompson took the inbounds pass from Gus Wil liams 30 feet from the basket and was immediately sur rounded by Spurs Bill Willough by and Ed Rains. But the former All-Star guard used his famed leaping ability to get the shot off at the buzzer, instantly bringing the home crowd of 9,808 — the smallest ever for a Sonic game in the Kingdome — to and off its feet. shot ’s three-pointer downs San Antonio h the tie wind up 'he two tea® 3-5 after i" GRAND OPENING brazos | valley ChRisfian Book and gift stope i-ier goals /ickery, K«j lni p S i and TwifftV gain's ] Texas id five assi atches. es were IT s a compel' 1 Florida 21, Georgia 19 — le past two years, it's been iaby scores of 26-21.

In theory, we defended that shot perfectly, hut this is a case of talent prevailing.” Nicknamed “Luke Skyw'al- ker” for his tremendous leaping ability, Thompson was once me asured as making a 44-inch ver tical leap, a feat noted in the Guinness Book of World Re cords. He was named to the NBA All-Star team three times and Most Valuable Player of the 1979 All-Star contest, but in juries have hampered the 6- foot-4 guard and by the end of last season he was sitting on the bench for the Denver Nuggets. Seattle, acquired Thompson from the Nuggets during the off-season for Bill Hanzlik, a guard who averaged under 16 points a game last season, plus a first-round draft pick. So far this season, Thompson leads the Sonics with a 22 points-per- game average. RIDES AGAIN!
