OKC Thunder jersey history No. 30 - Kevin Williams (1986-88)
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 30th jersey number in the series, jersey No. 30, with 13 players in total having donned the jersey in the history of the franchise.
The seventh of those players did so in the Seattle SuperSonics era, guard alum Kevin Williams. After ending his college career at TCU, Williams was picked up with the 46th overall selection of the 1983 NBA draft by the San Antonio Spurs.
The New Yorker also played for the Cleveland Cavaliers and in other domestic leagues before he signed with Seattle in 1986. His stay with the team would span two seasons, ending when he was drafted by the Miami Heat in the 1988 expansion draft held to populate that team.
During his time suiting up for the Sonics, Williams wore only jersey No. 30 and put up 5.7 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game.

SGA3K: Gilgeous-Alexander reaches 3,000 points for season, 12th player to do so in NBA history

Fans cheer for Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (2) during the first half of Game 1 of the NBA Finals basketball series against the Indiana Pacers Thursday, June 5, 2025, in Oklahoma City. (AP Photo/Julio Cortez) OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The milestones keep coming for Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. With his first basket of Game 2 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night, Gilgeous-Alexander — the NBA's reigning MVP — reached the 3,000-point mark for the season, including playoffs. Advertisement The milestone came on a 10-footer with 8:24 left in the opening quarter. He needed only two points to get there Sunday, after scoring 38 in Oklahoma City's Game 1 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. This is the 25th time in NBA history that a player has scored 3,000 points in a season. Michael Jordan did it 10 times, Wilt Chamberlain did it five and 10 other players — Bob McAdoo, Elgin Baylor, James Harden, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Luka Doncic, Rick Barry, Shaquille O'Neal and now Gilgeous-Alexander — have done it once. Gilgeous-Alexander also is the fourth player to score that many points while also handing out at least 600 assists in the same season. Jordan did that three times, while Doncic and Harden have done so once. ___ AP NBA:

Nikola Jokic's Offseason Video Turns Heads

Nikola Jokic's Offseason Video Turns Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Nikola Jokic had a phenomenal 2024-25 season, becoming just the third player in NBA history to average a triple-double for an entire campaign, joining Russell Westbrook and Oscar Robertson. Jokic averaged 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 10.2 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks per game for the Denver Nuggets and finished second in MVP voting. Advertisement Unfortunately for Jokic, this season ended the same way 2023-24 did. The Oklahoma City Thunder eliminated the Nuggets in seven games in the Western Conference semifinals, a year after the Minnesota Timberwolves did the same. Jokic averaged 28.4 points, 13.9 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks per game against the Thunder, but it wasn't enough. Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (15) smiles after a play against the Oklahoma City Adams-Imagn Images So, the offseason started early for Jokic once again. The seven-time All-Star was asked about his offseason plans after losing Game 7 to the Thunder, and he hilariously stated he was going to drink a lot of beer in the coming days. Jokic appears to have now headed back to Serbia, and a clip of his has gone viral on social media. The 30-year-old is playing a sport in it, but it appears to be kick volleyball, not basketball. Fans had some interesting reactions to Jokic's offseason activity. Advertisement "How can anyone not like this guy?" one fan asked. "How does he have feel for the game ever here?" another fan wondered. "Just your 3x MVP and NBA Champ out there chillin', playing with neighborhood kids at the local public pool," said one fan. "These guys would have helped him more than Jamal (Murray) did," stated a fan. "That's the greatest basketball mind of all time," a fan said. "He gives zero (expletive) what others think! Proud to be a Serb," claimed one fan. Jokic is going to have plenty of time on his hands to do whatever he wants. The one thing that is certain, though, is that when the 2025-26 season starts, he's going to be dominating on the basketball court once again.
