OKC Thunder jersey history No. 30 - Charles Bradley (1983-84)
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 fifth of those players did so in the Seattle SuperSonics era, guard alum Charles Bradley. After ending his college career at Wyoming, Bradley was picked up with the 23rd overall selection of the 1981 NBA draft by the Boston Celtics.
The Havre De Grace, Maryland native would play the first two seasons of his pro career with the Celtics, ending when he signed with Seattle for the final season of his career.
During his time suiting up for the Sonics, Bradley wore only jersey No. 30 and put up 1.4 points per game.

2025 NCAA baseball Super Regionals set: What are the most intriguing matchups?
By Mitch Light, Joe Rexrode, Lindsay Schnell and Mitch Sherman The 2025 NCAA baseball Super Regional field is set following six winner-take-all games on Monday. Top seed Vanderbilt and No. 2 seed Texas were both eliminated on Sunday, but five of the six other top-eight national seeds advanced and will serve as hosts next weekend. Advertisement The story on Monday night was Murray State, which became the 10th No. 4 seed to advance to the Super Regionals since the current format was instituted in 1999. The Racers, the champions of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament, held on for a 12-11 win over Ole Miss in Game 7 of the Oxford Regional on Monday night. Ole Miss trimmed a 12-3 deficit to 12-11 with five runs in the seventh and three in the eighth but went down quietly in the ninth. Little Rock, one of two teams in the field with a losing record, almost became a second No. 4 seed to advance, but the Trojans lost to LSU in the Baton Rouge Regional championship game. Here are the matchups in the Super Regionals: No conference has more teams in Super Regionals than the ACC 😤 — ACC Network (@accnetwork) June 3, 2025 Is this the year Duke finally gets over the hump? The program has reached the Super Regional three previous times under coach Chris Pollard but had to play each time on the road, losing at Texas Tech in 2018, Vanderbilt in 2019 and Virginia in 2023. Duke took the first game in each of those Supers but ultimately fell short. Now, the Blue Devils finally get to play at home, thanks to Murray State's magical run through the Oxford Regional. And how about those Racers! Murray State won the Regional in dramatic fashion, beating Ole Miss twice at Swayze Field to advance to the Supers for the first time in program history. The Racers got it done offensively, scoring a total of 42 runs in their four games in Oxford — three vs. Ole Miss and one vs. Georgia Tech. They will be facing a Duke pitching staff that gave up 10 total runs in three games at the Athens Regional, including only three to a powerful Georgia offense that leads the nation in home runs. — Light THAT moment… #GoRacers🏇 — Murray State Baseball (@RacersBaseball) June 3, 2025 This is a showcase of two of the SEC's — and by definition, the nation's — most talented teams. They might be the top two. Tennessee has prospects such as pitchers Liam Doyle and Marcus Phillips, and infielders Andrew Fischer and Gavin Kilen. Arkansas counters with star shortstop Wehiwa Aloy, outfielder Charles Davalan and pitchers Gage Wood and Zach Root. It's a talent bonanza. Advertisement It's also a continuation of the SEC's disappointment after an underwhelming performance in the Regionals. That one of these teams definitely won't get to Omaha is a downer for the league, especially considering some of the national seeds that didn't make it to the Supers. Tony Vitello returns to his former home to take on mentor Dave Van Horn in one of the sport's great environments. Arkansas took two out of three at home against Tennessee to end the regular season and had no issues cruising through the first weekend, but the Vols seem to have their edge back. — Rexrode The eight-nine matchup is always intriguing, but this one is especially so because after a wild Regional round, we don't have that many Supers featuring two top-16 seeds. And neither team had an easy path to get here. After Oregon State's opening home loss, the Beavers' chances were shaky, but OSU responded by scoring 43 (43!) runs in its final three Regional games. FSU needed some magic of its own to pull off a late-game comeback against Mississippi State and advance to its 19th (19th!) Super Regional, the most of any program in the country. Florida State has one of the top prospects in the country in junior left-hander Jamie Arnold. The Beavers boast one of the best freshmen in the nation in right-hander Dax Whitney. Though they aren't likely to start the same game — Arnold should be the Game 1 guy while Whitney is likely for Game 2 — we are probably in for a masterclass in pitching. — Schnell This battle of the four-letter state schools is a historical mismatch. The Roadrunners are in the NCAA postseason for the first time since 2013 — which happens to be the year that the Bruins last qualified for the College World Series. UCLA won it all 12 years ago. Coach John Savage, in his 21st season, aims to take a fourth UCLA team to Omaha. But UTSA will not be intimidated by the iconic jersey or the setting after it rolled Texas twice en route to sweeping the Austin Regional. It was one of several black eyes for the SEC in the opening weekend of the tournament. When it's over in Westwood, we'll see a representative from the American Athletic Conference or the Big Ten at the CWS. — Sherman (Photo of Murray State: Petre Thomas / Imagn Images)

Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault is just 40 years old and has been a head coach since 2020. Advertisement On the other side is Rick Carlisle, who got his coaching start in 2001 with the Detroit Pistons before coaching the Indiana Pacers from 2003 to 2007. In 2008, he moved on to the Dallas Mavericks, where he won an NBA Title in 2011. Ahead of the Game 1 matchup, Carlisle detailed the respect he has for the Thunder on The Pat McAfee Show. "We have great respect for Oklahoma City Thunder, and we're going to look forward to the challenge," Carlisle said. "... They're a great team and they defend really well... We're gonna have to do a good job with ball security and we're gonna have to play fast." The Thunder are heavy favorites ahead of the series, and for good reason. They finished with the best record in the league and earned home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. They were also one of the best road teams in the league, and boast the league's Most Valuable Player. Advertisement The Thunder are -700, which implies a 87.5% probability that they'll be the ones lifting the Larry O'Brien Trophy. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 2, 2025, where it first appeared.
