The Oklahoma City Thunder (and the Seattle Supersonics before them) have 52 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.
Without further ado, let’s get into the next of those jersey numbers in our series.
And for today’s article, we will continue with the third of three people to wear the No. 51, OKC forward alum Steven Hill. After ending his college career at Arkansas, Hill would go unselected in the 2008 NBA Draft, instead signing with the Dubs.
His stay with the team would span a single game, the Chanute, Kansas native leaving the league as a player afterward.
During his time suiting up for the Thunder, Hill wore only jersey No. 51 and put up 2.0 points per game.
