Wilson: If Sonics return, I want ownership stake

RENTON, Wash. -- Russell Wilson announced earlier this week that he is joining a group led by investor Chris Hansen that is working on building an NBA/NHL arena in Seattle's SODO neighborhood.

"Yeah, I will. Yes, for sure," Wilson said. "It's going to be an exciting thing.
