OKC Thunder jersey history No. 22 - John Grieg (1983)
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 24th jersey number in the series, jersey No. 22, with 20 players in total having donned the jersey in the history of the franchise.
The first of those players did so in the Seattle SuperSonics era, forward alum John Grieg. After ending his college career at Oregon, Grieg was picked up with the 65th overall selection of the 1982 NBA draft by the SuperSonics.
The Sacramento, California native would play the only season of his pro career with Seattle before heading overseas.
During his time suiting up for the Sonics, Grieg wore only jersey No. 22 and put up 2.1 points per game.
