The Oklahoma City Thunder (and the Seattle Supersonics before them) have 51 jersey numbers worn by the players who have suited up for the franchise since its founding at the start of the 1967-68 season. To commemorate the players who wore those numbers, Thunder Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team.
And while those Supersonics jerseys may not remain part of the franchise history should a new team be established in Seattle as was the case with the return of the Charlotte Hornets, they are part of the Thunder's history today.
For this article, we continue with the 23rd jersey number in the series, jersey No. 21, with 16 players in total having donned the jersey in the history of the franchise.
The 11th of those players did so in the Seattle SuperSonics era, guard alum Greg Graham. After ending his college career at Indiana, Graham was picked up with the 17th overall selection of the 1993 NBA draft by the Charlotte Hornets.
The Indianapolis, Indiana native would play parts of the first 3 seasons of his pro career with the Philadelphia 76ers, dealt there before the start of the season. He would also have a stint with the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets before he'd be dealt again to Seattle in 1996.
His stay with the team would span a single season before he'd be on the move to the Denver Nuggets in 1997. During his time suiting up for the Sonics, Graham wore only jersey No. 21 and put up 3.3 points per game.
