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 first of two people to wear the No. 77, OKC forward alum Vladimir Radmanovic. After starting his pro career abroad, Radmanovic was picked up with the 12th overall selection of the 2001 NBA Draft by the Seattle SuperSonics.
The Trebinje, Bosnia and Herzegovina native would play parts of the first five seasons of his pro career with Seattle before he was dealt to the Los Angeles Clippers in 2006.
During his time suiting up for the Sonics, Radmanovic wore only jersey No. 77 and put up 10.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game.
