Top five Oklahoma City Thunder reserves in franchise history
By Joshua Lea
#4. Nick Collison – Center.
Without a doubt one of the most professional athletes in the NBA, Nick Collison is a guy you want in the locker room. Collison is the last of his kind: the physical, player on the block. Collison is known for his battles against the Memphis Grizzlies and the San Antonio Spurs. Everyone remembers when Collison took an elbow to the face and was bleeding everywhere.
The 36-year old just signed a one-year deal to remain with Oklahoma City. Having spent his entire career with the Thunder/SuperSonics, Collison’s jersey is destined for retirement. While he never put up mind-blowing numbers or game winners, Collison did what was asked and needed as a Thunder player. That’s why fans love him and why he is Mr. Thunder.
