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 24th jersey number in the series, jersey No. 22, with 20 players in total having donned the jersey in the history of the franchise.
The first of those players did so in the Seattle SuperSonics era, big man alum Lars Hansen. After ending his college career at Washington, Hansen was drafted in both the 1976 and 1977, but elected to stay abroad. He'd make the leap to the NBA in 1978, signing with the SuperSonics.
It was his sole season in the league, the Copenhagen, Denmark native returning to Europe to play afterward.
During his time suiting up for the Sonics, Hansen wore only jersey No. 22 and put up 5.1 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.
